Anarchism and communism means non-ruling (therefore non-violent) and prosocial cooperation as fundamentals for society. These and other ideas never cease to inspire me. Of late I have withdrawn from the forefront of trying to change global society, being tired of most people\\\'s backwardness with regard to political and moral thought. I am into nature photography and have discovered that traveling for months on end is great. Live in Utrecht, Netherlands, and have travelled to the US during the spring of 2008 for the first time. I stayed at Oran Mor and Acorn community, and briefly visited Twin Oaks. I have been living in cohousing houses for 10 years. I worked in a cooperative restaurant for 10 years, and in several egalitarian political organisations and groups. I hold an MH in political philosophy and am currently making a little money as a postman, in order to travel to the US again asap :-) I am thinking of making a living in some natural part of Europe or US, perhaps in a hostel. I still have this high minded dream of living in an anarchist egalitarian beautiful community. However, I reckon my chances are low, because living together is quite different from liking each other. My favourite adagium is Be realistic, demand the impossible. See http://www.mennosijtsma.nl for more.
