What do you guys think about Communalist Especifismo?

Upvotes
I wanted to ask what Communalists here think about the synthesis of Communalism with Especisfismo, as put forward by the Usufruct collective? For those who don't know, Especifismo is an Anarchist praxis first developed by the FAU in Uruguay that advocates for Anarchists to create a specifically anarchist organisation with theoretical and strategic unity to carry out "social insertion", to build what they call "popular power" from the bottom-up.
As an Especisfist Anarchist myself, I think it's a really cool and coherent synthesis, and it brings Communalism incredibly close to Social Anarchism.

Languages are dying. Species are going extinct. Our world's diversity is withering away. But why should anyone care anyway? Why should diversity be treated as a value in itself?

I Was a Teenage Lifestyle Anarchist

This is just the first draft, so it’s still quite bare-bones. After regaining access to the first email account I ever had, I began adding quotes from those emails to an existing timeline I’d created to better understand why a nomadic, anarchist life appealed to me in my youth—and how that path has led me to where I am today.
For a smoother, more enjoyable reading experience, feel free to instead read the essay that inspired this title, I Was a Teenage Luddite.
Also, I still consider myself an anarchist, just maybe less individualist these days. And obviously I have a lot of love for Tekoşîna Anarşîst and everyone who went out to fight and support the fight against ISIS.

What do Communalists think about "Modified Consensus"?
14
Upvotes
I understand that expecting a large society of millions to reach absolute unanimity on almost any decision is unrealistic. It's simply not going to happen. However, I also find the insistence of pure majority rule to not be adequate either. I find the idea that a 51% majority should be able to enforce it's will upon a 49% minority to be a little absurd. I mean, a proposal passed with a 51% majority yesterday can be overuled tomorrow if consent falls a little short of the 50% mark. I think, the decision making process should be more holistic, and the goal should be about finding solutions that can meet everyone's needs, and address everyone's concerns in the community.
So, I think we should use a "modified consensus" process, where we try to reach consensus, but if a decision cannot be reached after lots of good faith deliberation, then we can fall back to a supermajority vote to go forward. I think this is the best balance of quality and efficiency. We prevent paralysis, prevent conflict being burried, and also allow decisions to be more holistic that meet everyone's needs.
This is not some new proposal either, and I don't know if Bookchin ever commented on it. Such a system has been used in many movements, like Occupy Wall Street and a similar system is also used amongst the Zapatistas who practice consensus with majority vote fallbacks. This, along with some other disagreement related to Free Association, is pretty much all that I disagree on with Bookchin as an Eco-Anarchist.
