Let's break it down: Community - Common in Unity...the garden of diversity where everthing grows at its own pace supported by what unifies us, what we have in common: air, water, nourishment ( physical, social and spiritual). The unity of community is the symbiosis of consciousness

"This “community artist’s way” is in sharp contrast to the Culture of Separation, where we imagine things can only get done by formal organizations, with the associated titles, power over others, money, fame, and self-interest."

And this is often a problem. So for example here in Finland you cannot rent a building or a room in many cities unless you are a registered organisation (and even then there can be problems). YOU cannot crowd fund unless you are registered with the police and you will only get the license as an organisation. Similarly banks won't open a bank account unless you are an organisation that is registered nationally - which requires a constitution with purposes outlined and limits what you can do and requires auditing of accounts.

Organisations are also banned if they promote certain things or do not do things like keep a membership list available to the police. If you use your own bank account for money things you can find tax and benefits are affected so many won't even do this.

ALL of this means getting things done in a more anarchistic way is quite challenging - not impossible though.

What a fantastic observation. Would be happy to discuss, hopefully, when we do a call. Building Symbiotic Culture and Networks don't require renting a building, being a registered organization, a bank account; money ... at least in the formative years

I mentioned some areas can be more possible and I mentioned Pispala https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pispala tells something of this place. The free newsletter tells more but is mostly in Finnish.
