Let's take a moment to talk about the Capitol Hill Autonomous Zone. Not about their strategy, or the people involved, or whatever, but about its very existence. In recent days, I've seen a lot of flak being directed towards the CHAZ. Of course, it's usually…
And i think that the thing about it all is that it only needs to be inspiration to "succeed"... People want the commons back, and they want justice, to not get bent over backwards by the government in the middle of an economic meltdown and a pandemic.. etc. This sort of thing just seems like a natural byproduct of those pressures and there will likely be more people coming together as time goes on.
We saw similar actions in Minneapolis, with a hotel being seized to house the homeless, with the total rejection of usual norms and communities coming together on the streets, etc.

Of course, the powers that be always come back to shut it all down, but with enough people seeking interactions that cannot be mediated or endorsed by the system either by grave necessity or desire then we can only hope we will see more "autonomous zones".

Er, not like im saying *much* new here but one other thought is that even if many things about it seem silly, even just the idea is a very powerful one.. You can "declare autonomy" in more ways then just haha we secede from da united states xdddd.
For all right-wing people in this channel, it was literally never intended to *actually* fucking secede from the united states. Nobody on the ground thinks that. No, what's going on here goes beyond the vague idea of borders... But mabye more on that later.
