Pedagogy of Green Space: Community Control towards Land Back and an Abolition of Property “Under capitalism, Mother Earth is converted into a source of raw materials, and human beings into consumers and a means of production, into people that are seen as valuable only for what they own, and not for what they are. Capitalism requires a powerful military industry for its processes of accumulation and imposition of control over territories and natural resources, suppressing the resistance of the peoples. It is an imperialist system of colonization of the planet. Humanity confronts a great dilemma: to continue on the path of capitalism, depredation, and death, or to choose the path of harmony with nature and respect for life.” People’s Agreement of Cochabamba “The Issue of property sits at the centre of Black people’s relationship with policing both past and present,...an abolitionist future is not possible without the abolition of police. And it is my contention that this is not possible without the abolition of property.” Rinaldo Walcott Preamble:
