The Road to Anarchapulco: Kenny Palurintano – Episode 140

The Story: Kenny travels from festival to festival

Kenny Palurintano is an anarchist, a traveller, and an all-round nice guy. For 16 months, he has been on a journey to “help build a new neural network for the Earth, connecting humans, communities, and organizations from all across the planet.” He has visited many festivals and events, cooked for many strangers, and distributed literature to get the cogs moving in people’s brains, to inspire them to think about liberty in new ways. Now Kenny is on a new leg of his journey, in preparation for Anarchapulco 2017, and he’s asking for your help to continue his work.

In this episode, Aaron and Kurt discuss many topics with Kenny, such as his trip around North America, or Turtle Island as it’s known more traditionally, the philanthropism of Manoj Bhargava, Kenny’s experience at rainbow gatherings and other events full of free spirits, the philosophical differences between anarcho-capitalism and other types of anarchism, and whether it’s necessary to bridge the gap between them.

The Story:

Many ancient cultures attempted to design agricultural systems based around the natural strengths and needs of plants. For example, the Iroquois always grew the “Three Sisters” together – beans, corn and squash. The corn provides a natural pole, enabling the bean vines to grow higher. The bean plants release nitrogen into the soil, allowing the growth of the following year’s corn crop. The squash vines act as a living mulch, maintaining the moisture in the earth.

Today, it’s common to see farms where plants are grown in monoculture, all in lines of the same plant together. It looks very well-organised, but without the right kind of chaos, or the right kind of interplay between different plants and animals, the soil soon becomes infertile, and so farmers are constantly playing a game of catch-up with the land they struggled so hard to tame.

In this interview, Kurt talks with Kenny Palurintano about how various types of plants and animals can work together to create a sustainable garden, and even self-sustaining gardens, providing enough for humans and for other beings on this planet. Kenny mentions other indigenous cultures carefully selected the crops that they placed together, to increase their harmony. By using food forests modelled on natural systems, we can create something which provides an outstanding level of abundance. We also talk about some of Kenny’s adventures, travelling around the US by hitchhiking, and how he subtly plants the seeds of liberty into the minds of people he meets.
