Pirates – the end of an illusion
From Ostrava Anarchist Federation
The Czech Pirate Party, which until recently held the hopes of some reformist anarchists, has ended up in the dustbin of history. What lessons can we learn from this?
As a collective of the Ostrava Anarchist Federation, we have long opposed the tendencies of some leftists and anti-capitalists who saw potential in cooperation with the state and capitalism . The words of the Pirate Vice President about “infiltration of the system” already sounded funny back then, and when the Czech Pirates succeeded in the parliamentary elections, it was clear to us how it would turn out.
