1: Build and maintain
antagonistic infrastructure
The first priority for anarchists is
to build and maintain antagonistic infrastructure. We use this term
to mean infrastructure that is inherently conflictual by right of
existing. Infrastructure cannot be antagonistic unless its very
existence challenges the laws, morals, and equilibrium of the world
capitalist system.
A community garden on land that is
purchased by the gardeners merely provides a few lucky people with
the chance to grow their own food. But if the garden is planted on
land that is stolen from a real estate company, that garden becomes
antagonistic to capitalism. While the chances of the garden’s
complete destruction increase dramatically, the antagonism also
increases the chances of the struggle for the garden to resonate with
and attract new people into the struggle against global capitalism.
In this way, a garden can stop feeding the belly of green capitalism
and contribute to the revolutionary anti-capitalist struggle.
