Project

... we are people with years of experience organising in different anarchist groups who are sick and tired of organising cultures reproducing white supremacy culture and patriarchal dominance, acting on a basis of defensiveness, cancelations, exclusions, and believe that it hurts us all and our ability to resist

... we lived through abuse as well as 'being cancelled'; we experienced non­traumainformed, non­anarchist and violent modes of communications from comrades as well as (perhaps well­meant but utterly destructive) "accountability processes" that were started because of disagreement and hurt stemming from dislikes, conflict, clashing behaviors and expectations

... this page is an attempt to work through these experiences collectively, hoping that we and others might learn from them and grow. it is focused on community-building and conflict management from an anarchist perspective

... we do not believe in intellectual (or any other kind of) property and shamelessly use materials from other writers as we please. use materials of this page as you please: property is theft

... we are aware that our experiences are always related to many systems of power/discrimination/domination/violence, including but not limited to patriarchy, racism, class, ableism, lgbtqia+ "fobias", etc. we want to acknowledge that the people involved here are able­bodied, white­skinned european, queer people and that this obviously influences our perspectives, lives, abilities, and makes us more able to notice and focus on some things and less able to do so in others. we are very open for feedback, criticisms, suggestions for how to further confront our privileges.

... this is an attempt to unite us against the enemies ­- and there are so many enemies -­ through normalising conflicts, comradely criticism, reflect on the systems of power that we might be replicating; encouraging us to establish honest communications, feedback cycles, trust

in short: this is an attempt in establishing loving comradery
