The trouble is that once you see it, you can't unsee it. And once you've seen it, keeping quiet, saying nothing, becomes as political an act as speaking out. - Arundhati Roy

Appeared originally on Revolution News 18/01/14

On Thursday, activists held a press conference to speak about the Rote Flora, the danger zone, and police brutality in Hamburg. There was another demonstration for the Rote Flora, the Esso houses and the right to stay for the “Lampedusa in Hamburg” refugees group today.
Earlier this week we reported that the city of Hamburg wants to buy the autonomous cultural center Rote Flora, but activists of the Flora said during a press conference on Thursday that they “don’t care who owns the building.”
This comes as no surprise, as the Rote Flora has never compromised since it was occupied in 1989.

Nummer 4: Zur Hamburger Innenpolitik, seit dem März 2011
Hier: Rote Flora, Politik und Polizei
Wir Kritischen PolizistInnen nehmen heute erstmals zu den auch militanten
Auseinandersetzungen zwischen Staatsorganen und BürgerInnen um die Rote Flora,
den ESSO-Hochhäusern, den sog. Lampedusa-Flüchtlingen und der
Mietpreisentwicklung in Hamburg schriftlich Stellung.
Ein Polizeieinsatz wie jener vom 21.12.2013 kann natürlich nicht auf über 700
verletzte Personen verweisen, diverse Sachbeschädigungen (und mehr!) an Häusern
der Elbchaussee, ein stärker beschädigtes Bezirksamt Eimsbüttel, eine beschädigte
GdP-Geschäftsstelle in Hamburg (direkt neben dem Polizeipräsidium) etc. und
serieller rechtswidriger polizeilichen Handlungen sowie weiteren Gewaltexzessen in

By Antidote’s Ed Sutton
We can all stop wringing our hands about „the next Occupy.“ Whatever our reasons for doing so—worrying that it might sweep the globe with irresistible force, or worrying that it won’t—we can rest assured that it is coming, just in a form we haven’t imagined yet.
We must remind ourselves that the global phenomenon we called „Occupy“ was the (far from spontaneous) coalescence of various currents and codes based in self-organization that had already been around for decades—and are still around. This anarchistic ethos burst into the broader public consciousness in a new way, and though it was beaten back underground by astonishing state repression on a global scale, it will emerge again.
