calling the freedom fighters of exarcheia or the sheep farmers of madagascar “house cats” who depend on others to feed them is dehumanizing and inaccurate. they fought for every inch of land and every scrap of food.
Squatters and farmers, both are dependent on the larger societies around them, even if they outwardly claim otherwise.
Don’t get me wrong, squatting is cool as fuck, but even when sticking it to the man, you’re still dependent on his world.
Hell, Exarcheia even goes against your own picture of a perfect society, they used a form of direct democracy with actual voting on policy.
Policy that was enforced throughout the camps.
Circling back to farmers, again, you hit that 150-person limit on community size without some form of policy abstraction. i.e. some form, any form, of governance and policy.
