We never appreciated the ideas and concepts of ecovillages since 2002. Nonetheless, we continued to be present in the list of ecovillages thinking that it could lead to some confrontation. After many years, we came to the conclusion that ecovillages, as much as we know them, aim mainly to settle into “civil society” and are actively seeking no confrontation with the world surrounding them. Different from the perspective of fighting domination and exploitation and achieving mutual support, these places act as “access concentrators”. Traffic goes in, but seldom comes out – if you understand the difference. As a matter of fact they represent the evolution of old society, in a greener civil society. But war, science, economics, (or, in just a word – power) are not questioned. When you visit an ecovillage you will generally pay per stay. In some of them you won’t be able to even cook for yourself. In some others, you won’t be able to simply put your tent. Paid services will be present for everything you can imagine. In some places you will have to pay just to hear some guru speak.
They represent the opposite of what free people are looking for.
Take for example “permacolture”. Distilling habits from all populations in the world, introducing nothing new – except applied rationalism, to the maximum extent. Works in a world of robots, the form in which humans are slowly transforming into. No empaty.
Ecovillages have no empaty.

La durezza della vita odierna che mette alla prova l umanita in noi , spinge il cosciente ad allontanarsi dalla stessa , piu lontano possibile ma impossibile essere del tutto a meno che non vai a finire in una giungla ma anche li nn sei sicuro di nn ti venga trovare l equitalia .
Ebbene il punto di pagare per servizi nasce da questo pagliamo per l aria che respiri quindi creare qualcosa costa e il punto e questo se ai soldi tuoi da spendere per te i tuoi ect e ok…
ma se devi creare servizi per altri e con questo c e uno scambio equo ok
ma se uno nn a bisogno di uno scambio nn avento nulla da scambiare ecceto soldi va bene uguale no?

You comments resonated with me powerfully. There is an unhealthy dynamic that seems to be inescapable in our modern capitalistic world, that is mainly that nothing can be done unless someone profits materially. Where I live in Northern California there is a constant stream of workshops being presented for profit on “sustainable living” “permaculture” “cob construction” etc. etc. (all things that require no special skills and have been done for millenia and that have all the information you need freely available in the library or online) They would sell the air and a class on how to breath it sustainably if they could. The idea of community is lost and I think that’s because it’s really a verb, not a noun. Real communities are based on need and function.
