Political-intersectional oriented, because…
something should definitely change in society – towards good living conditions and more equal rights and opportunities for all people in the world, less suffering for people and animals, less destruction of our livelihoods.
Communitarian community because…
… when we live in reliable solidarity and in a group where we are accepted and valued, we find it much more pleasant and meaningful than alone. In addition to the immediate feeling of well-being, there will also be a long-term change in how we think and feel about ourselves and other people: For example, by paying attention to each other in a group, caring for each other and sharing our resources (including money) with each other. We turn away a bit from the competitive thinking of capitalism, from wage dependencies (unless, for example, residence status depends on it) and individualism.
… that holds many great opportunities: We can only do what we can imagine. In contact with others, we always find out how we could also look at or do something (completely) differently, and then have new options to choose from – continue as before or take on what we like more or what it has inspired. In this way, we can all continue to explore how we want to be and develop.
Socially differently positioned people, because…
…we achieve our objectives this way more realistically!
We did not grow up to be sufficiently aware of the living realities of people positioned differently. Since we want a better life for all people, it helps us to directly experience many structurally different realities of life. In this way, we can expand our sense of social “normality”/our orientations and try out and establish better forms of social interaction for ourselves.
Moreover, when the community is so diverse that no person feels (structurally) exposed, everyone is freer to be relaxed and show up as we are!
Avoiding animal cruelty because…
… it hurts.
Furthermore, the boundaries between “who belongs and must not be tortured (like this)” and “who is on the outside” are frighteningly easy to shift, depending on the context, if we basically agree on torture and that violence is okay – only against living beings that do not belong.
We are aware of the conflicts and tensions that will arise...
But over time we should also develop a different feeling about this by pursuing the goals of living together in the long term with commitment, questioning and developing our images of ourselves in the context of the world and our corresponding feelings, patterns of thinking and interaction far more comprehensively than can be described here in brief. Finding and establishing form(s) of social togetherness that for us are better than the usual ones, allowing ourselves to be accompanied continuously by other people/groups in the process and not ending up revolving around ourselves.
