Editorial
Communities have existed as long as humankind. Even today, they are a
point of reference for many people's longings, whether it's a return to
a supposedly perfect community of the past or an experimentation with
new forms of living together.
While we cannot escape society, this is only partially true for
communities. We are assigned to some involuntarily and may remain in
them for the rest of our lives without questioning them, like family or
the workplace. Yet, it is precisely in these forced communities that
unexpected solidarity can arise.
Others, however, we choose ourselves: communities of interest to pursue
hobbies or improve our living conditions, or we feel drawn to them
because of our characteristics, like communities of migrants or queer
people.
Whether by chance, material interests, or intangible desires for
connection, we repeatedly find ourselves in a wide variety of communities.
And who would we be without community? How much of who we are is shaped
by distancing ourselves from others, and how much by conformity? When do
communities hinder free development, and when are they a necessary
condition for it? How much responsibility do we bear for our
communities, and how much do they bear for us?
Especially since increasing digitalization, the loss of communities and
growing isolation are repeatedly criticized. But while many people blame
the negative consequences solely on technology without considering its
interconnectedness with our society, others have much more positive
experiences online. Those with unusual interests, identities, or
problems can form communities with similar yet very different people all
over the world.
In preparation for this publication and during a preliminary discussion
on November 6, 2026, we collected a variety of questions, some of which
we will explore in more depth or perhaps even answer for ourselves:
* How do lifelong friendships or communities function?
* How do relationships and community function without exploitation and
coercion?
* Where do you experience community in everyday life?
* What do inclusion and exclusion mean in community?
* * How can I find community and what problems will I encounter?
* What images of community exist in our society?
* What compromises does community require?
* Why do we need (more) community?
* How does our personal positioning influence our relationship to
community(s)?
* What might an anarchist critique of community or individuality look like?
* How do conflicts and conflict resolution function in communities?
* What are the characteristics of digital and analog communities?
* Which communities are desirable, and which are not? Why?
This zine presents various anarchist perspectives on community, whether
despairing or hopeful, in the form of paintings, photographs, factual
texts, short stories, or poems. It originated from two writing workshops
held on September 4th and November 29th, 2025, at the Black Pigeon in
Dortmund, and an open call for submissions. We thank everyone who
participated in the discussions and contributed!
