Shutting Down Monocultures of Capital : Reinventing Labor Struggles by Forging the Connections Between Rural and Urban Communities

• The ongoing (sub)urbanization and industrialization of land use and oceans (agriculture, fishing, forestry, land and deep sea mining) threatens to wipe out life on this planet. This process is often accelerated by toxic monocultures, because focusing the development of a city or an entire region on one extractive activity degrades other ways of life, eventually leading to “ghost towns” and “sacrifice zones.” To dismantle such monocultures, we should explore the many connections between rural and urban communities and reinvent social and environmental struggles, as mirko nikolić argues in his contribution to the BG text series “Allied Grounds."
