[a'dam] English call-out letter for demo antisquattinglaw
nn. - 29.09.2010 11:38

English call out letter for demo (a'dam/nmgn) against ban on squatting. Please spread around Europe.

Yesterday mayor Eberhard van der Laan, and police commissioner Leen Schaap of Amsterdam declared war against squatters in Amsterdam. They announced that they will be evicting roughly 200 of the 300 squats in Amsterdam, using the new law to ban squatting. Police commissioner Leen Schaap actually stated that his hands are itching to get started.

Most of you will know that squatting is legal in Amsterdam, and most of you also know that this situation will drastically change on the 1st of October when the new law will be enforced. Right wing populist manipulators have taken the power in the Netherlands. Of course these people want to protect their status quo and their friends who speculate and make huge profits on basic needs as housing, and the squatting movement poses them a big threat by bringing their money making schemes into daylight.

So they banned it. And whereas at first they pretended that nothing would really change, because they would still not evict a building only for it to be standing empty afterwards, they now retaliate their statement a few days before the law comes into use. Besides being another proof of the hypocritical behavior of most politicians, this is not the way to find a constructive peaceful solution between the police-force and the squatters.

Our response is, as usual, to take it with a good deal of irony and a hint of nonchalance. But really we should be conspiring against them as hard as they are conspiring against us. They have created a European (economic) union, maybe it’s time to show them that not only the politicians in Europe are united, but so are the squatters, anarchists and artists. It’s time to show them that not everybody is happy to live in a rented square, and some us have actually freed ourselves from the claws of the system. The revolution can start any moment, all we need is enough people united in solidarity, for an existence full of colour and freedom of movement.

Join our action centre in the former fire station , celebrate our criminality with us on the eve and demonstrate with us on the Spui in Amsterdam on the 1st of October, in Nijmegen on the 2nd of October, and beyond. The time for change is now!

"It’s time to show them that not everybody is happy to live in a rented square, and some us have actually freed ourselves from the claws of the system. The revolution can start any moment, all we need is enough people united in solidarity, for an existence full of colour and freedom of movement. "

sorry, maar ik heb werkelijk nog niet eerder een dergelijke slechte oproep gelezen. Als je wat subculturele puberale relschoppers wilt aantrekken, is dit prima.
Als je activisten wilt aantrekken die hun woede over sociaal onrecht en scheve eigendomsverhoudingen om zullen zetten in solidariteit en daden kom je hier niet ver mee ben ik bang.

Laat staan dat je buurvrouw zich hierdoor aangetrokken voelt om op de demo te komen met een baksteen in haar handtas.

Dat deden ze in Kopenhagen toch wel veel beter!!!
de beste schrijvers staan....?

Bedankt voor je positieve bijdrage, als iedereen zo goed kritiek als jij kon leveren leefden we nu vast in een veel betere wereld, of wacht even... misschien zouden we dan eigenlijk alleen maar discussiëren over wat wel en wat niet zogenaamd goed is, of wacht even... dat doen we al!
En ik heb er genoeg van, de tijd van kritiseren is voorbij, ben je het niet eens met wat er gebeurd, doe het dan zelf beter in plaats van je energie te verspillen aan degene die tenminste een poging doen iets te veranderen.
ik ben erbij hoor! 
stom - 29.09.2010 19:21

Ho ho, Ik ben er bij hoor vrijdag en ook zaterdag! absoluut. zoals ik er altijd bij ben. Het is belangrijk dat iedereen erbij is. Dus komt allen, het is belangrijk dat we samen laten zien dat we woedend en tegen zijn!

Maar als er geen kritiek meer geleverd mag worden op inhoudelijk complete onzin berichten en oproepen en we blijkbaar alleen achter ienamd aan moeten lopen die zn bivakmuts verkeerd om op heeft gezet (waardoor hij/zij geen omgeving, horizon en figuren meer kan herkennen). Als dat niet meer mag ...

kritisch kunnen kijken en kritisch kunnen denken is de eerste stap naar opstand!
