Rural movements within and against rentier capitalism

We respond to the thoughtful commentaries by elaborating on the tensions around rights, the challenges of organizing under rentier capitalism, and the potential for solidarity – or at least temporary alliance – in the context of incommensurabilities. We remain agnostic about the concept of a right to the rural, but convinced of the need to build broad popular movements.

Abstract

We respond to the thoughtful commentaries by elaborating on the tensions around rights, the challenges of organizing under rentier capitalism, and the potential for solidarity – or at least temporary alliance – in the context of incommensurabilities. We remain agnostic about the concept of a right to the rural, but convinced of the need to build broad popular movements.
