"Demonstrating… What Exactly?: On Demonstrations, Counterinsurgency, and Tactics"

Berlin has such a strong protest culture that it feels like it eclipses all other political action. But why? And for all the incredible amount of time and effort we put into this a particular form of organizing, do we really have so much to show for it?

This text looks at demonstrations in Berlin, principally the street movement over the last three years in support of Palestinian liberation. It tries to critically analyze the form and function of demos beyond what we assume them to be.

But it’s not just about the Palestine solidarity movement, nor just about protests. It’s not even just about Berlin. It’s a case study in a particular set of tactics and actions over the last three years that are representative of “western” radicalism at large.

RE: https://kolektiva.social/@scrappy_capy_distro/117484567047947697

At the risk of being giant contrarians:

The dominant response to a transphobic police raid is "have a demo about it." The police flexed by doing the raid, and they're flexing again by channeling insurgent energy into a symbolic protest. While there, they will flex again by either 1) beating and arresting people, 2) coercing the demo into total passivity, or 3) both.

People are mad. Give them an avenue to affect change beyond a crowdfunding campaign where all they do is toss money (not "mutual aid," it's not mutual and it doesn't build connections) or have a parade (does not "raise awareness" or build collective agency).

Please for the love of all that is good in this world, have open general assemblies that allow people to come together and meet as equals (no Lautis, no Ordner:innen). Give space for them to communicate with each other, get to know each other.

Why is "demo" the default model of change and especially the default response to repression? The State and normies don't give a fuck about your demos, and they're not helping us become dangerous.

It's a joke that Euro politics is just US politics with a ten year delay, and... well... Ten years after Trump 1, the AfD takes Sachsen-Anhalt, and establishment parties are just as (seemingly) shocked as Dems were back then.

Germans love US politics but apparently not learning anything from it.

- Go to Damascus Konditorei (syrian sweets, best in the city)

- Go to Rigaer94 / Katerschmiede or New Yorck Bethanien some night for soli kitchen

- For english speaking places that are anarchis-y, Offline.Place or Casino for Social Medicine.

- Museums that tend to have good exhibitions: Gropius Bau, C/O Berlin, Kindl, Hamburger Bahnhof. Not usually a fan of Hau. This capy is basic af and doesn't know small ones.

- For nature, go to Teufelsberg in Grunewald. Also Spreeheide & Langer See. Or just keep it close to the city and do Plänterwald. Or also get out to Park Sansoucci in Potsdam.

I could keep listing things, but I guess you'd have to ask questions or said list would be untenably long. Also if you want to organize a small talk about things in the US while here, we can help set something up.

2026-07-25T18:21:05Z

"Stonewall was a riot" doesn't really mean that Pride should be a planned riot instead of annex parade.

Consider that I means that Stonewall was a spontaneous act of community self defense and police opposition. One where people felt driven to act and to stand together.

You want pride to be a riot? Ask why when police attack people often just stand around and wait for the second round instead of banding together. Or why mobilizing spontaneously is so difficult.

Riots aren't simply willed into existence.

Oh, and awareness teams thst issue commands and dampen confrontation don't have a place at riots either.

TL;DR. (Also might be blending in arguments from elsewhere). The book pushes unity when actually conflict and schism are fine and healthy. Sometimes the forced unity it advocates for are straight up abusive and violate basic anarchist principles like voluntary association. Schulman's IRL behavior has been described as abusive and stalkery, and the book could be called an abuser's manual.

"Conflict is not abuse" is a valid statement, but the book isn't about that, and it often says (kinda) "what you call abuse is actually just conflict."

Calls for Submissions for "Ⓐuslander:innen"

Tentatively titled "Ⓐuslander:innen" (German for "foreigners," literally "outlanders"), this next collection of texts will be a spiritual successor to our first zine "berlin, you've hurt me / another berlin is possible" and will continue to explore the themes of the (perceived-as) immigrant experiences anarchists in Berlin and the BRD.

While we have already addressed this topic, there is the feeling that since October 7th, there has been a shift within the Berlin radical scene where there is an increasingly perceptible rift between the white/German side and the "other" side: that of the immigrant, of the person-of-color, of the foreigner. Maybe it's the topic of Palestine/Israel that forces this split, or maybe it's something else like Ukraine/Russia/NATO, or even just something like how one should behave at a demo or conduct a meeting.

In many conversations over the past years, there have been many stories of feeling side-lined or othered, of having our knowledge and past experiences in our regions of origin treated as irrelevant and useless here in the BRD. Some people have felt themselves shift over time to be more "Germanized," but not integrated, rather molded to fit a German way of being, to fit the German disposition.

Submissions are open from November 1st to December 31st. For the full call and more detail information, see our submissions page at:

"All eyes on X" implies that attention alone brings change when the reality is that actions taken in concert with others is what reshapes the world.

If the Global Sumud Flotilla is captured (which seems likely) then what do we have as our next moves? Blockading Israeli embassies? Further BDS actions? Something else entirely?

Whatever change may come, it will not be because we looked at the little rectangles in the palms of our hands but because we acted.

"An Exploration of Current Anarcha-Feminist Theory and Praxis"

This text looks at trends with in Berliner, German, and broader trends in anarcha-feminism and critically examines to what extent some of our most common praxes actually serve us and move us toward our goals of liberation.
