The tenants and the defenders of the earth (often peasants), fighting to sustain their lives against landed, state, and capitalist exploitation, violence, "making our community by defending it," and in so doing they convivir, they commune https://spectrejournal.com/convivir-a-synonym-for-commune/

I try to answer, what can we learn from these books about what it would mean for these movements to convivir, commune among themselves, reaching toward that abolition of geographic separation?

Thanks to my editors at Spectre, @magalintzin.bsky.social and @likableeveryman.bsky.social for the invitation to contribute and the feedback, to @maxfox.bsky.social
for the original suggestion to read these two books together, and to the authors for their crucial books.
