> Encampments are liberated zones; they should not reproduce authoritarianism, capitalism, or any other form of oppression. Camp security teams should not replace the police with whoever can buy a vest and megaphone at Home Depot. Campers should not feel pressure to ask for permission from “leadership” to act. Decisions should be made autonomously wherever possible, or else by consensus. We must trust and love each other enough to coexist without hierarchy.
Practice always beats the most well written theory. Altho theory & guesswork help us in the absence of action usually with rule of thumbs i.e to know what happened & whats likely going to happen, but its never a substitute for actual practice.
PS: Yes, I am aware that I am starting obvious. But sometimes putting thoughts into words helps when it comes to self-therapy.
