We build real community. That's the answer to all of it.

If we all feel we own the park, we'll start taking care of it more. Rather than it being the cities (i.e. someone else's) problem.

How do we give land back? We decide as a community to do that.

Also, land back isn't about ownership, it's about stewardship. If we were community focused, we'd understand that, and maybe even participate in it.

How do we do justice? We let community decide what's best.

Fuck these countries. We should be caring and looking out for our neighbours. Not these nation states.

How do we deal with wealth redistribution? Support community. Spend as local as you can. Give your wealth to community.

It's not about heorarchy, it's about being mutually invested in eachother. Not just "friends", not just hanging out, but sticking through tough times. Calling out BS. Trying out best to bring our the best in eachother.

Giving power to people is not the same as democracy. People have a right to be governed however they want to be. If a community wants a king, sure. That's their right as a people. There's a difference between intervening on something like a genocide, and imposing democracy on a people that don't want it.
