As soon as the state recedes, what Kristin Ross calls "common-form" flourishes:
"people who live differently and who change their own situation by working in theconditions of the present", as they did in Paris in 1989 with the sixty districtsresulting from the popular movements, then in 1871, in Nantes in 1968 for a fewdays, on the ZAD of Notre-Dame des Landes and the occupations of pipelines inNorth America. ---- "The space-time of the Common-form is anchored in the art andorganization of daily life and in collective and individual responsibility forthe means of subsistence. It therefore presupposes an eminently pragmaticintervention in the here and now and a commitment to work with the ingredients ofthe present moment.»Returning to the struggles for contemporary land, she looks for the main axes ofconflict that crossed the second half of the 20th century and which continuesuntil today.In addition to Marx, Kropotkine, Élisée Reclus, she mobilizes the texts of thesomewhat forgotten anti-productivist Marxist Henri Lefebvre, then focuses on"different non-accumulative practices ¬[...]based on intimacy with the earth andassociated with subsistence and to the figure of the peasant": defence,appropriation, composition, restitution, which are an integral part of the ZADsand of the Uprisings of the Earth movement which is in the process of "setting aseries of priorities and moving very openly to offensive against land grabbingand devastation".With this brief and clear essay, Kristin Ross provides a conceptual and practicalframework that helps to "work in the conditions of the present" by reviving "theold world that best responds to the future".
