Was it meeting other comrades, or going to a big demo? Or somehow feeling like you were being useful to the movement itself?

A long road trip that ended on a mountainside with people who practice a commitment to each other and to the erasure of capitalist relations. There's a feeling I got that my life was already bound together with each and every one of the people there, whom I had never met before. That they were all special and valuable to me in ways I wasn't yet aware of. When this kind of comradeship exists, you kind of feel it in the air.

This has happened to me twice. And though the communes we erected were very limited either in numbers or in duration, it was a taste of the free life that I want to have.
