A personal report from last week's action days for autonomous spaces in Berlin. This report reflects the thoughts and opinions of the authors, not of any campaign, although these opinions may be shared by others. ---- Berlin - in Chaos! ---- Report back from Action Days for Autonomous Space May 27 to June 1 "we do not wish to find ourselves in a world where no one really lives, where no one really knows anyone else, where everyone has become a mere cog in a machine meshing with other cogs but remaining truly alone, then we must have the strength to attack alienation in every way we can." ---- "We believe for a space to be truly autonomous it must first be liberated.

People in Ireland can do a lot better than a choice between the clowns in the Dáil or those in Brussels. ...

Today some people claim that Christianity, rather than being an outdated superstition, can be a part of anarchism. They have started groups of "christian anarchists." Have they any real claim to serious consideration? What is anarchism? Anarchism means "no power", no violent power, no power over people not exercised by themselves, no State. A State is also an organisation of people, but of a group of people who have taken all the power in a society into their hands to the detriment of the rest of society. Understood in this way, is anarchism at all compatible with Christian teachings? The anarchism developed by Michael Bakunin was clearly anti-Christian. God is a Lord, a master. How can ...
