IM SCHÜTZENGRABEN mit „Solidarity Collectives“
Über Militarisierung, Ukrainesolidarität und Lügengebäude Chronologie eines Übergriffes in St. Imier und die Rezeption schreibender Bellizist*innen in der WOZ & taz
"Wir spoilern: Wer das Aufhängen des oben beschriebenen Plakats auf einem anarchistischen Treffen als Angriff umdeutet, sich der anschließenden Diskussion um den Unterschied zwischen Krieg und sozialer Revolution verweigert, und Antimilitarist*innen körperlich angeht, hat auf keinem anarchistischen Treffen etwas zu suchen. Der*die positioniert sich als Feind*in eines Anarchismus, der historisch Kadavergehorsam, Obrigkeit, Befehl und Gehorsam, Militär, Vergewaltigung und Nationalismus, Mord aus niederen Beweggründen und Militarisierung ablehnt. Der versucht, den antiautoritären Charakter einer anarchistischen Praxis in die Schützengräben zu treiben.
Wer es nicht aushält, wenn Menschen das Sammeln von Geldern für Ausrüstung und Waffen für militarisierte Männer, sprich Soldaten unter anderem in den Schützengräben, ablehnen, der hat gebrochen mit dem Anarchismus."

Reading this text 👆 (that reads like a report from a boy scout camp, but nevermind that for now), was a very challenging read for me as a neurodivergent, disabled and chronically ill person, who could not even attend #Anarchy2023 because of the lack in COVID-19 precautions.

1. (as i wrote above) No mention of the ableist organizational structure and the huge lack in many regards of accessibility (even the fucking wheelchair ramps were too narrow for actual wheelchairs!)

2. In the text there are several examples of just how horrible things were organized from an accessibility and inclusion point of view. This was an event strictly for the able bodied.

Some examples, and there are more: A 20 minutes walk to the venue. Standing room only in most of the rooms. Crowded double-booked rooms. Huge crowds of people in front of the house that needed to be crossed to get inside the building. Music all night long heard all the way to the camp site.

And masks, air filters, hepa filters were not even mentioned. The only mention of masks in the text with an ableist frame as addressed above ("for those who still want to wear masks").

All these things are huge red flags for neurodivergent, disabled and/or chronically ill folks. But apparently only the people who get excluded notice these things. (Hint: Talk to us!)

And 3. To top it all off. The organizers mostly get congratulated for this ableist mess....

One positive thing though. I am sooo so so glad i didn't end up attending, we decided last minute not to go. Okay two things. I am now even more convinced than before that the "anarchist" movement is dead. The future lies in issue-based activism that is more or less based on anarchist principles -> https://kolektiva.social/@antiall3s/110774677280646911

@CrimethInc

@CrimethInc Such a long text and not a word about poor accessibility and the ableist, and ultimately even eugenicist way the gathering was organized, which prevented many immuno-compromised and chronically ill people from even attending. (the extra food line for mask wearers was a cynical joke. And the way you wrote about it is pure ableism. You wrote: "a special section for people who still want to use masks and maintain social distancing". "Want" is the absolute wrong word here, some of us "must" still wear masks, and if you need to keep "want" in there, we "must" wear them because not enough of you ableist assholes still "want" to wear them in oder to protect and include us).

And in your text there is not a mention of the anarcho-capitalist, conspiracist, right-wing libertarian bullshit that was present at the gathering. (At least one of the main organizers is a right wing libertarian, who was active in the anti-masker protests here).

But read bellow.

I was right to call the anarchist movement dead as a movement. And it has died in Saint-Imier in 2023.
