we don't even disagree then, you're just getting at an old anarchist problem (imo) of what a culture of resistance even is, where it is, etc.

we could have a long conversation about it: for example, I think radical spaces that serve as bases for communities are very important and the forces of neoliberalism have conspired to strangle them in to oblivion in hundreds of ways, forcing the new attempts at radical spaces to be more conflictual from the get go, which makes them weaker for the reasons you're alluding to … and on and on.

anyway, it's fascinating stuff, certainly not an easy problem to solve tho. if you're saying the CHAZ should have chilled the fuck out at the beginning, i'd argue it still would have been crushed without us even hearing about it, like the dozens of projects I've watched that happen to, smothered in their cribs by NIMBY yuppie booj fuckheads with their snitching and property schemes … blah blah blah. Know what I mean?
