The First Land Co-op Subcommittee Biannual Report
|
|
by Emmanuel Goldstein
|
|
|
|
The Land Co-op is a pivotal part of the Orgone Committee's plan
|
|
for the 90's (ev).
|
|
|
|
We propose to create a community, based on the following
|
|
principals:
|
|
|
|
1. To foster the physical, mental, and spiritual evolution of the
|
|
people living as members of this community directly, and people in
|
|
other places indirectly as an example of a new archetype for
|
|
living. Most simply put, we will be developing a society that is
|
|
itself evolved as to have room in it for individuals who have
|
|
developed all possible aspects of their personalities. A society
|
|
that needs many specialized individuals in a rigid hierarchy is
|
|
closer to the insect hive than a society that prepares its members
|
|
for many functions in a network of relationships based on talent.
|
|
This will be done lingually, politically, culturally, economically,
|
|
religiously, sexually, biologically, neurologically,
|
|
technologically, magickally.
|
|
|
|
2. Create a social contract allowing maximum energy access for the
|
|
maximum number of people. By this we mean money, property,
|
|
electrical, etc.
|
|
|
|
3. Create direct access to new maps of reality by speaking and
|
|
learning a new language.
|
|
|
|
4. Forge and foster a successful internal economy in this
|
|
community which shall be centered around complete energy and food
|
|
self-sufficiency.
|
|
|
|
5. Aid the goals of the Political Action Subcommittee by giving
|
|
them a workable model for small community building blocks.
|
|
|
|
6. The legal structure of this coop is to be a cooperative.
|
|
Everyone will own their own parcel of land and home, and there will
|
|
be community held property such as the power generating equipment,
|
|
roads, etc. Depending on the advantages/disadvantages offered by
|
|
each strategy we may adopt any number of structures above this such
|
|
as church, or S chapter, or not-for-profit, or nonprofit legal
|
|
status. These will be researched in turn.
|
|
|
|
The Land Coop concept is the capstone to the pyramid of projects
|
|
wherein we currently concentrate on how to implement our
|
|
hypotheses, theories, and intuitions about how to create the best
|
|
possible environment to foster human evolution.
|
|
|
|
Linguistically: we are beginning to create a New Language. It is
|
|
verbal, manual (based on American Sign Language) and glyphic. It
|
|
is an attempt to consciously reshape the mental maps imposed by
|
|
languages. More research is needed! We need a language for all
|
|
members of the land coop to allow for
|
|
|
|
a) More efficient communication
|
|
|
|
b) More efficient thinking and conscious expansion and
|
|
|
|
c) Solidarity.
|
|
|
|
Familial: We reject the idea that the nuclear family is the only
|
|
or even the best way. We need to establish new archetypes. What are
|
|
the alternatives? How have they worked?
|
|
|
|
Politically: Our ideas around this are for a computer/video/media
|
|
cyberdemocracy. Diversity. Competing interests that keep each other
|
|
in check.
|
|
|
|
Culturally: Between video, music, visual arts of every kind,
|
|
magazines, books, pamphlets, and whatever springs up we expect that
|
|
to take care of itself!
|
|
|
|
Economically: Energy self-sufficiency, food and as total self
|
|
sufficiency as possible. Community ownership of certain things,
|
|
personal ownership of other things. Less rich and poor.
|
|
Decentralization as much as is possible. Diversity.
|
|
|
|
Educationally: Teach people how to think and give them an
|
|
environment that encourages them to do so. It shouldn't be too hard
|
|
to come up with something better than what exists in the school
|
|
systems in America today.
|
|
|
|
Religiously: Many different faiths, all jockeying for power to
|
|
keep each other in check!
|
|
|
|
Biologically: health maintained. Life extension. Many alternate
|
|
practitioners. Pure food, water, air.
|
|
|
|
Ecologically: Respect for the environment. No waste! Lots of room
|
|
for people to mutate in their own ways!
|
|
|
|
Technologically: High High High tech as possible! Technology is
|
|
a key to this aeon of human evolution. It is changing everything
|
|
more than anything else, both for good and bad.
|
|
|
|
Neurologically: All of the above. None of the above.
|
|
|
|
Sexually: Diversity expected! See Reich. Make up your own mind one
|
|
way or another. We desperately need new archetypes that free us
|
|
from the patriarchal\Osirian idea that a heterosexual dyad/nuclear
|
|
family is the only proper way for humans to bond/breed.
|
|
|
|
Magickally: All of the above.
|
|
|
|
We need information about
|
|
|
|
Locales in the U.S., good for this land coop. For the Political
|
|
Action Subcommittee the following is necessary:
|
|
|
|
1. Low population density.
|
|
|
|
2. Rich in farmland, long growing season and solar, wind,
|
|
hydroelectric, and geothermal if possible.
|
|
|
|
3. Far from major nuclear targets.
|
|
|
|
4. Any other natural resources or good positioning for other
|
|
reasons? Legal, economic, transportational, game & hunting etc?
|
|
|
|
5. Rural or small town or other?
|
|
|
|
6. Local ordinances regarding own energy, business, education of
|
|
own children, building.
|
|
|
|
7. Local religous background of folks.
|
|
|
|
8. Major local industries, economic trends?
|
|
|
|
9. Political behavior in area.
|
|
|
|
10. Information about where other groups, communes, covunes, etc,
|
|
are set up. All info possible.
|
|
|
|
People specializing in engineering, computers, linguistics,
|
|
farming, education, sociology, psychology, medical, security,
|
|
economics, business administration, law, mechanics, architecture,
|
|
crafts, video producing, arts,
|
|
|
|
For the Land Coop, all of the above information is needed plus
|
|
Psychopharmacology, Artificial Intelligence, martial arts
|
|
teachers, farmers, and Technicians of every kind. Feel no shyness
|
|
about contacting us with information about your skills and other
|
|
assets should you be interested in getting involved.
|
|
|
|
Diversity
|
|
|
|
Freedom is relative to the number of options you have. As an
|
|
evolutionary strategy we have adopted diversity. Decentralize as
|
|
much as possible. Give as many people as possible a fair chance at
|
|
a successful life.
|
|
|
|
The Thelemic Formula: maximize combinations = maximize
|
|
possibilities and/or options. This is inevitable in a society that
|
|
is attempting to align itself to the evolutionary trend of higher
|
|
capacity for the individual as the unit of society.
|
|
|
|
By combinations I mean any kind of interactions. Examples: When
|
|
two chemicals react. When two people make love. When you eat
|
|
something. Genetically speaking the more available combinations of
|
|
genes the more possible it is for new evolutionary avenues to open.
|
|
|
|
Ecological Responsibility
|
|
|
|
We must as individuals be prepared to make changes in our daily
|
|
lives to make it possible for the environment of this planet to
|
|
continue to sustain us. Here in Brooklyn, New York City, the
|
|
municipality has finally begun to get involved with recycling
|
|
bottles, cans, and paper. They distributed plastic blue cans for
|
|
collecting. There's just a little more work to do. When I throw
|
|
something out, I have to choose to put it in the regular garbage,
|
|
or the recycling bag. I have to remember to put the blue can out
|
|
on another day than the regular collections. This is the very first
|
|
of the kind of adjustments that we will have to increasingly make
|
|
as the resources of our world continue to be mismanaged and
|
|
squandered as much as they are now.
|
|
|
|
Sexual Revolution
|
|
|
|
New archetypes of sexual roles and behaviors. Sexual revolution
|
|
is as necessacary as technological, economic, political revolution.
|
|
To quote N. Dorfin: "...What about being quiet when you jerk off
|
|
so no one else will hear? If you can get people to do that, you can
|
|
get them to do anything."
|
|
|
|
Evolution
|
|
|
|
The species has reached the point where more conscious control of
|
|
our evolution is possible than ever before. The next step is into
|
|
Space. We work to hasten the establishment of self-supporting human
|
|
populations in other places than the surface of this planet. The
|
|
new technologies that result from this will help us solve our
|
|
problems here on Earth.
|
|
|
|
You may wish to form your own Orgone Committee. You may already
|
|
have your own weird/fun/master plan which you might feel would
|
|
benefit from sharing something with us.
|
|
|
|
Write to us. Share this information with your friends: Feel free
|
|
to make copies of it and distribute it to them as long as you
|
|
|
|
a. do not charge more than the cost of copying it for it, and
|
|
|
|
b. do not change it.
|
|
|
|
Let us know about your own various weirdnesses. Send us copies of
|
|
your zine, or even tapes of your music, or videos of your whatever.
|
|
We're always looking for new information for our resources list.
|
|
If what you send us is truly intense, we will mention it in the
|
|
next issue, along with how our readers can get in touch with you.
|
|
If it's intense and we want to print it, we'll get in touch with
|
|
you and ask you if its OK for us to do that.
|
|
|
|
It is in all our best interests to network amongst ourselves! More
|
|
combinations! Free exchange of information serves us in a way
|
|
remarkably similar to the way an isolated gene-pool benefits from
|
|
the influx of new breeding stock. We have a lot to learn from each
|
|
other.
