Mutual Aid Infrastructure
- Mutual aid infrastructure is crucial for effective collective action.
- The ants’ established colony in A Bug’s Life exemplifies this, enabling Flick’s ideas and the circus’s contributions.
- Mutual aid is often an overlooked aspect of the left.

- This infrastructure can be activated to achieve different ends.
