«las Indias» is a transnational egalitarian and productive community. We are the product of a long evolution that started with the first virtual communities in Spanish and Portuguese at the end of the ’80s. This led to the first online literary groups and the first European association for civil rights on the Internet. At some point we realized two things: first, that the rich online conversation between people that lived on different continents was what made our life interesting; we learned, contributed and felt useful to others. Second, we didn’t forget that the whole experience was very fragile: without an economy of our own, our capacity to transform our setting and maintain a way of life where learning was ongoing was not only very limited, but with everyone being in different parts of the world, our serenity depended on States and markets that were more and more unstable. We were clear that we didn’t want to abandon our permanent conversation to become a traditional business, but also that our activity had to be productive and our autonomy would come from think of the market differently Thirteen years after, we’re proud, above all, of three things: 1. What we’ve learned and summarized for our friends and readers in our books. 2. Our internal egalitarianism. In Las Indias, we live the community experience that we always wanted. We function by consensus on the solid base that permanent deliberation gives. We share among all the responsibilities, economic activity and the income that it produces. We all learn and improve ourselves to contribute and with everyone’s work, we satisfy everyone’s economic needs. This is a model that we explain in “The Book of Community“ (https://payhip.com/b/Bz4o). 3. Our place in the market. We have made commercial products out of what we value most: what we have learned—and continue to learn—in conversation and debates across the years, which you can discover in our books, our contextopedia, and our blog. Thanks to that, not only do we continue to be a living egalitarian community that is creative and permanently learning, but we have created a small but healthy group of cooperatives. + https://english.lasindias.com/what-is-las-indias
