“composition” -- "solidarity across extreme diversity"
"Composition shows that it’s actually very desirable to work with people who don’t share your same political codes because they bring different things to the struggle. It’s a kind of massive investment in working together to have an influence on our future in a way that doesn’t involve some of the old sectarianisms of the left or the exclusions based on identity or ideology that the left has historically found itself caught up in."
"[W]hen you put [many different] groups together, you also bring different knowledges and experiences into the mix: the scientific knowledge of the naturalists; the practical knowledge of the anarchists, like building and maintaining squats; the creative, spontaneous, improvisational energy of the punks; the skills of those with legal backgrounds who were able to work the courts to delay and stall construction. The state can’t attack all of these different groups at once."
