This lecture explores the concept of 'the commons of squats' as a form of resistance to capitalist models, focusing on the reappropriation of empty spaces to create temporary autonomous zones. It delves into the dynamics of self-management, creativity, and solidarity within these spaces, emphasizing the activist grammar of living together. The presentation also discusses the spatial critique of capitalist models and the importance of accessibility, hospitality, and forbidden goods in fostering a sense of community and shared ownership.
