Permaculture is not _just_ a gardening system. Learn what it actually is. Volumes online to browse through. It adds considerably to any political agenda. Since it is about how prople feed, take care of themselves and survive it is important that it be included in any political platform. I would like to see a presedential cabinet with a position filled by a permaculture expert just as you have farmers and environmentalists on the board of the USDA organic certification board. Important to do this because the government already represents the interests of a broad range of communities, all vital to the functioning of a healthy nation.

Have a debate between "anarcho-communism" and Permaculture. You are years too late pushing anarcho communism. Decades ago when the permaculture movement was beginning to evolve it would have been interesting to consider. Communism is communism.
Anyway, I am a product of the freewheeling, freethinking Sixtiesand you have got my interest about your politics. All I can do is go with what I think anarcho communism is. There are connections to Permaculture. For me anarchism or communism is not the system I would want a government to be run by. I like the idea of elements of socialist system to be integrated into Permaculture design and the resulting systems it produces. I have lots of ideas about this. I will take a closer look at your resources. Meanwhile why don;t you do some research on Permaculture. For an anarcho communist to exclude Permaculture would render their ideas and proposals null and void. Stay tuned.

I am not interested in communism other than by using elements of it and socialism in Permaculture designs and in the systems created using those design. There is a lot to say about that and a lot of value. I oppose any pure communist or socialist government.

Why all the anti capitalism, pro commie, cutesy anarchism buzzwords when you know none of that helps people survive and carry on normal lives. Why drive well-intentioned people to such ideological extremes. Look at what the Chinese and Russians have done to good people in the name of socialism and communism with the ccp forcing such things as "Party as God and Xi Jinping his messenger" on all Chinese. Don't forget what they have done to the Tibetans and the Uighurs. Replace your anti capitalism, anarchism and communism with PERMACULTURE. Take a look at that.

Do you support Ukraine and Ukrainians and providing them with weapons to drive Russian out of all Ukrainian territory. Do you believe that the Russians carried out an illegal, unprovoked invasion of Ukraine during which they caused considerable destruction, loss of life and committed atrocities. They have stated that they want to eliminate all Ukrainians.
2)
Have you ever heard of Nestor Makhno? He was an anarchist who lived in Ukraine and Russia and defended the people there from Stalin's Red Army, particularly the peasants and kulak farmers, whom Stalin hated. Which side were the Bolsheviks on? 🙂 Makhno was a true hero.

I went to sign up then it reminded me that I already had an account. I had completely forgotten about Post but will now spend some time there.

Sherrod Brown is excellent. He walks the talk.

An example of why this is true:
The mastodon art admin(s) are incompetent morons. Backward thinking control freaks.
Read this:
"Looking at mastodon.art, the admins seem to have blocked/muted hundreds of instances, including mastodon.social, mastodon.online, qoto.org, all of which are moderate instances with a clear policy against racism, harassment, etc., I don't see how this is good for artists, who probably need engagement. I think mastodon.art admins are trying to push their agenda by pressuring other instances to adopt stricter restrictions and limit users' freedom, instead of simply protecting their users (which is not achieved by restricting users from interacting with moderated instances)."
