Building a Gift Economy
Experiences from Catalunya
Learn about the ideas and the practices surrounding the Libertarian Infrastructures Gathering, an initiative in Catalunya that seeks to create an intergenerational, communal struggle, and resist the eternal dynamics of activist burn-out, capitalist co-optation, or isolation, all the while encouraging and strengthening the projects that allow us to reclaim our lives by meeting our needs through self-organization and mutual aid.
This talk will address questions of strategy in confrontations against the State and capitalism, debates surrounding the gift economy and alternative currencies, conflicting visions of formal or informal organization, imbalances between urban and rural modes of action, models for how to build healthy networks, and ideas for revolutionary projects.
