Request for Comments 23B: Anarchist Networking Opportunities

novaTopFlex is actively researching potential anarchist communities, collectives, and co-ops throughout Vermont and much of the Berkshires and Pioneer Valley, attempting to connect with anticapitalist and degrowth-oriented communities across the region. While capitalist society often deems such arrangements impossible, research has consistently shown that businesses along the U.S. 7 corridor may suffice for anarchist networking and activism. Along Route 7 in western Vermont and throughout the Berkshires, numerous family and small-scale operations continue to exist and depend on advocacy against capitalism to enable such organizations to thrive. Without a guarantee of universal basic services in the Berkshires, class struggle is very obvious and overt, though access to small-scale communities can expose the classism further.

Each of the six listed concepts is highly celebrated within the region, particularly out of a deep understanding that capitalism creates dystopia and harms the entire population in devastating ways across the board without escape.
