The Community doesn't exist and it never has.
Community is what exists; shared and experienced between those in contact.
Community is the experience of joy (power, even) found between bodies who are affected towards a particular way. One might say that community is found where two bodies are affected by the same form-of-life.
Never The Community of those who are there, always Community as potential, constantly being realized.
Each time community tries to solidify itself as a subject, as The Community, it finds itself met with its own impossibility, and develops techniques to ward off its own impossibility.

@exiliaex np! I got a lot out of it. The “further reading” list and citations alone made it worth it to me.
You can also get it from AK Press btw
