Bankiers en makelaars, gelieve Marinaleda voorbij te rijden. Hier in dit dorp in Spanje hebben ze geen begrip voor kapitalisten. Huizen bouwen ze zelf, voor maar 15 euro per maand. Een voorbeeld of een utopie?
Gaviotas, Colombia
http://www.friendsofgaviotas.org/Friends_of_Gaviotas/Home.html
Gaviotas is a village of about 200 people in Colombia, South America. For three decades, Gaviotans - peasants, scientists, artists, and former street kids - have struggled to build an oasis of imagination and sustainability in the remote, barren savannas of eastern Colombia, an area ravaged by political terror. They have planted millions of trees, thus regenerating an indigenous rainforest. They farm organically and use wind and solar power. Every family enjoys free housing, community meals, and schooling. There are no weapons, no police, no jail. There is no mayor.
The United Nations named the village a model of sustainable development. Gabriel Garcia Marquez has called founder Paolo Lugari the "inventor of the world."
Auroville, India

"Auroville wants to be a universal town where men and women of all countries are able to live in peace and progressive harmony above all creeds, all politics and all nationalities. The purpose of Auroville is to realise human unity."
