Anarchist squats and autonomous social centres
From Balkan Anarchist Bookfair
In the context of the capitalist crisis and intense repression, we watch our cities submitting to the business of tourism and increasingly accommodating activities mediated by commodities and profit. This is a form of enclosure of public space, that displaces people from the cities. Squats are being evicted and it is becoming increasingly difficult to secure our material conditions of existence for social centres. Yet the existence of social centres is vital for the sustainability of relationships of solidarity between people trying to breathe in a suffocating world.
