We completely agree!!<br>
<br>
It is a nodal moment because this convergence, I guess, reflects a
deepening concern in wide social sectors. In our case, we are
experiencing since October's Somero a widening of our audience and
a closer relation with other communities. Last week, in example, we
had by first time in many years, more than 10.000 unique visitors in
our blog in only a day, and the <a href="https://lasindias.com/the-communard-manifesto" target="_blank">Communard
Manifesto</a> is spreading a lot faster than we thought: there are
in example volunteers -we did not know before- translating it in
Switzerland and Portugal to German and Portuguese languages.<br>
<br>
So, we are sensing not only the appearance of a «P2P theoritical
camp», but the emergence of a «P2P audience» probably product of
the disenchanted with the political hopes hegemonic only a year ago
between the majority of the activists in countries like Spain or
Greece.<br>
<br>
So, Michel, what comes now? How could we contribute?<div><div class="m_4632714506941949250h5"><br>
