THX will happen from July 10th untill July 20th in Ozeraine (Eus) 1 (see practical infos)

Speculative Fiction to Embrace Resistance Networks.

- Software Syndicalism(s)
- From Speculative Cannibalisms to Commensality



We propose you to spend the 10 days together and think along those lines:

Radical Care
------------

We’re always confronted with the question of food.

### From Speculative Cannibalisms to Commensality

Speculative Cannibalisms invited us to shake the limits of our conceptions of the food chain to incite us to take up our entire understanding of the position of human life on Earth.

There’s only one planet Earth and all its inhabitants, from bacteria and mushrooms to large mammals, feed from our mutual interactions. As we mentioned in Présence Solidaire,

> We see, in our ultraliberal, madly capitalist world, that everything our production system touches is immediately destroyed, just like the legendary King Midas who turned everything he touched into gold, until he could no longer eat or drink. These fatal consequences are borne by all ecosystems and by the most vulnerable people in our society.

Although we’re very much dependent on capitalism, what interests us here is to imagine integrating commensality (with all living beings) to live together and externalize back the cost of domination to capitalism.

Can we create other forms of solidarity and avoid commercial transactions within our communities?

Networks of communities / cooperative(s) / commune(s):

-   mutualism of costs
-   decrease in the standard of living with the aim to emancipate ourselves from the capitalist system (as much as possible)
-   it raises, among others, the question of handling fragility (from disease to end of life)

Resistance Networks
-------------------

People live individually: the culture of resistance is very different. Please synchronize.

### Deepening Software Syndicalism

Crops have been ripening over the last few years, we see many occurrences and synchronizations of alliances that materialize concrete action about software syndicalism. It opens a shared mental space to imagine its possible developments.

Previously we considered software syndicalism 1 as the relationship between developers and their users in proximity to address power issues within the scope of a single software ; yet, is there not also a proximity among developers working on distinct software around common specifications that could as well present a form of software syndicalism

1.  To make concrete the current notion in our peer network, e.g., from the OFFDEM O₂ P2P Assembly. We can discuss ways to create a software syndicate of our own.
2.  To pursue considering the stigmergy between software developers working around the same specification, e.g.: ActivityPub, where developers discuss and agree on implementations, and consider their ecosystem as a cooperative space. How to syndicate to amplify diversity?

Speculative Fiction
-------------------

Doing (some) good. Assert ourselves together.

To sustain a Common and diversity (unity in diversity).

We’ve been talking about speculative fiction since day one, but did we take the time to actually make some? Nope. Here is the best goodie of this upcoming THX session: petites singularités bring a ludic way to game the system and create speculative fiction narratives to bring `<3` to the world.
