I used to live in Equinox Manchester, then was a workgroup member for Sumac Centre Nottingham then a member of Corporate Watch worker's coop Oxford. Helped host some gatherings etc.
That’s some involvement! You’ll have to read our chapter when it’s done! We argue that RR’s decommodification of the property market, and labour, and the deep cultures of mutual aid that enable that (and their bank obvs), as the model for us all to follow! (Maybe not gatherings in fields tho..!)
I'm a bit cynical about how these deep cultures of mutual aid often depend on equally deep reserves of cultural and financial capital, I'm afraid, but I'm open to having my mind changed.
