For Erick.Quoted by@AnarContrarian @sellieyoung @TornadoNate @bgcts @tradistae @guyjames23 @RizomaSchool @MichaelTG09 @csmaje @alancornett Our experience with the Agrarian Sharing Network - now entering a second decade in its current iteration - is that ideological diversity is simply irrelevant to an experiential territory of common concern and conviviality transcending political/religious/cultural divisions.Quoted byChomsky, it was, who observed that one person, well-connected, can know more than a national intelligence agency.
