As the science rediscovers what many cultures across time have known, that plants, and trees in particular form communities and communicate through various types of fungi in the soil, a question arises: in what state of radical separation do the urban and farmed plants exist in? What is the experience of a community of plants as a shovel cuts into the tissues of communication?
The answers to these questions could very well lead to yet another impetus for revolution in a given sphere of production. What does this mean for the farm as a productive entity?
This is one curious aspect of modern civilization, this constant refocusing and revolution of our spheres of perception, and our ideas themselves, which connecting to the earth that produces them,
(and which is acted on by them in turn) tend to erupt through material reality itself.
Indeed, if we were to act on our emergent sensibilities for interconnected plant communities, we would have to revolutionize production itself, which connected to everything else, would generate a chain reaction of upheaval.
It would involve great pain and suffering, as revolutions tend to produce, which can be attributed to the brittle qualities of a fearful conservatism which seeks to attach to ongoing processes of suffering and destruction.
