Pandemic Crisis, Struggles for the Common and the Task of Reinventing the Welfare

To celebrate the 10th anniversary of Praktyka Teoretyczna journal, we have invited our long-lasting collaborators and comrades to reflect once again on the concept of the com-mon and it’s possible futures by posing the following questions: a) what is the most important aspect of the current struggles for the common?; b) what are the biggest challenges for the commonist politics of the future?; and c) where in the ongoing struggles do you see a potential for scaling-up and spreading organisation based on the com-mon? In his reply, Sandro Mezzadra draws our attention to contemporary struggles around welfare, which push us to reinvent such notions and institutions like public health or education beyond the private and the public.
