From No Future
December 27, 2024

From anarcho- and antifa emigrant initiatives.

Have you figured out what you're going to do for New Year's Eve? We've decided to organize a small (but fucked up) party and invite anarcho- and leftist initiatives, pankota, journalists, human rights activists and activists who had to emigrate to Germany to continue their activities and not sit down on a bottle somewhere in a snowy high-security colony.

We're meeting on December 31 in Potsdam in a cozy house-projekt (it's like a squat, only civilized, without vomit, junkies and trash raids). Antifascists from the collective “Sektor M” have been renovating and preparing a bar there for the celebration for several months. Everything will take place there. Lectures from the discussion club “Äppelwoi Komitee”, cuisine, tea ceremonies and hiking from “No Future”. But that's in general outline. More to come:

- A story of Siberian anarch about how anyone can make a house project in Germany
- Historical lecture about the similarities and differences between then and today's revolutionary emigrant activists.
- Film screening and discussion on the representation of the left in German cinema
- Hiking through the filming locations of the darkest series “Dark”
- Vegan and Meat Chili con carne
- Borscht (vegan and meat) and lard
- Former political prisoner Lev Skoryaki will read a chapter of his book about the prison New Year.
- Koryak cake. Also prison.
- Chifir and Poo Er.
- bar
- Dinner parties.
- We're thinking of getting a fucking bathhouse.
- Clear playlists from music nerds.
- A shitload more.

We also invite the self-organized anti-authoritarian anarcho- and leftist collectives that are currently active in Germany. We will talk to each other about how the year went and what we can do together in the next one. Unfortunately, there is limited space on the platform, so we are asking representatives of initiatives who want to organize their stand to fill out a five-question questionnaire. This way we will be able to better organize the space so that there is enough room.

We are looking forward to seeing you all (but not the fucking Nazis) with your salads at the New Year's Eve party on December 31, 18:00, Zeppelin Straße 29, Potsdam.

sounds cool but what is the position on israel and zionism?

for any "anarchist" or "left" action or projekt in germany this is the first question that must be answered.
i believe that sektor m is more concerned with ukraine & belarus and i respect that but always in germany there must be a clear statement regarding zionism

possibly you do not know the situation in germany, where very many "left" and "antifa" groups and squats, even so-called anarchists, are supporting the genocide. now lately some say "we refuse to take any position."

so, it is crucial to make this position clear, so that comrades can know whether to attend or support the event.

I'm aware of the situation in Germany.

nobody is required to post their points of unity or whatever for your peace of mind. if you are going to require a cohesive platform be published by all initiatives and projects so you can make sure they are one of the good guys, I'm going to assume your position on authoritarianism is "yes please."

making demands that a squat recites a prescribed line about any issue is entitled bullshit.

i understand now, you are a stupid troll seeking attention. i hope in the new year you suffer tremendously, in a way that incapacitates you from posting. you will not be missed

"where very many "left" and "antifa" groups and squats, even so-called anarchists, are supporting the genocide"

Holy fuck, dimwit! So just because they ain't protesting for Palestine or making a declaration against Israel every time they do anything at squat that makes them Zionist collaborators to the genocide. Wow. But why the fuck not... let's also add the rest of whole world as morally obligated to "your" cause, or else!

for real tho.

Put another way: a lot of Germans have extremely Clown opinions about Israel and Zionism, and it's not hard to understand why. This is mostly a problem for people living in Germany to fight about amongst each other, but to be clear, the more consequential politics of the German state are more important to attack, in word as well as in deed.

Most of us on Anarchist News don't live in Germany. I don't see how it is useful to hound these kids about the politics they have about Israel/Zionism which, like, wouldn't pass first muster in North America - but who cares? Real ones will come around in time, as they learn more.

They "wouldn't pass first muster in North America" as whatever's left of the Left is fucking brainwashed and compromised by a bunch of ultra-conservative Islamist authoritarians who've been using the ID pols and anti-oppression card, as well as bullshit narratives like the Nakba, to push their agendas, repeatedly, for decades. Also let's not overlook the influence of the fascist Nation of Islam among Black people.

I got this impression there's still many stupid Leftist dupes that think skin color or even ethnic background counts as some kind of political statement of radical or progressive politics. Gotta double-check tho, maybe.

Oh nOo! A white devil is upset that people of color are inherently more radical than he due to society! It's not fair all this ID pol brainwashed Islamist Leftism! Not fair!

just as there are NA indians who trespass and seize their "hunting rights" on unpermitted private land, there are some who call the cops on their relatives "for their own good." Just as there are those new ager ones who pretend that they still gather just as much trad foods as their great grandparents bc they need to front being a capable person living in a non-devastated ecology for their self image--but also keep it secret and oppose others' attempts to redevelop/share the knowledge. people are people, there's nothing fundamental about them.

so are you making sweeping generalizations or not? seems like you want it both ways, you like your generalized narratives about how everyone's a hypocrite or compromised somehow but you don't like other grand narratives, which also don't reflect reality

your arbitrary conclusions about which narratives are legit, mostly tells us about you

good callout. I'll admit that my biggest vice is hallucinating connections between concepts, as i try to understand "the world" thru my experiences. I don't mean to judge the people in those anecdotes, everyone ofc has their own methods for their own reasons, but I am a bit salty bc i feel disappointed that all of our efforts to recover foods end up coming to so little. as I age I'm trying to get better at figuring out who I should work with and who I should steer clear from--and this is all just for pragmatic reasons bc even people i argue with are meaningful relationships to me. I just really want to get off grocery stores and professional farm food, and it's painful navigating a world where something so powerful and motivating for me is completely uninteresting to most others. me and my friend just have our little efforts, and it ends up that "people who like plants" is just another atomized specialty. at least many of the rural tribal people I've met have a solid ethic of cutting firewood for the elders and giving meat to whoever needs it, but the full assemblage of self-sufficiency may never come until it is absolutely necessary/too late.

2014, taking a trip to visit fam in vienna and niederoesterreich, my 30yo austrian cousine explained to me how she was against the state of israel, but not against the people, and how netanyeehaw was a fuckoff. It was my first time to hear a distinction of this kind made by a smart polisci type. thanks cousin! But what happened to the germans since then?

Sometimes i think the nerdy kids form their opinions by self-study well in advance, and then by the time a topic filters through society to the popular kids, it becomes stripped of useful content (eg germans, eg US leftist-activists, eg schooling in general...)
