so, did the refugees ruin it?
yeah. pretty much.
but, i remember reading up on this idea of temporary autonomous zones when i moved in here. i'm stretching the concept; i need something approaching "normal housing" for as long as i need studio space. this is taking forever, and i don't like it, but so be it. but, the idea i can pull out of this theory is that the spaces are impermanent; they dissolve when capital identifies them. and, this is irreversible, until capitalism is abolished.
the idea is that, while revolution is necessary, struggle kind of sucks. we have finite lives. so, instead of fighting against capitalism, it may make more sense to just try and avoid it - at least until the social revolution brings us to critical mass.
if windsor was something like a taz, it was impermanent by definition. and, capital was always bound to expel me, eventually.
the challenge is in finding the next zone - and in cobbling together the resources required to get there.
