(en) Germany, Glitzerkatapult AC: Wed., February 28, 2024: Violence and militancy as a revolutionary means? - Open anarchist discussion meeting (ca, de, it, pt, tr)[machine translation]

Date Wed, 14 Feb 2024 07:31:33 +0200


Once again our open anarchist discussion meeting is taking place and you are cordially invited to join us! ---- This time the topic is "Violence and militancy as a revolutionary means?" ---- It will take place on Wednesday, February 28th, 2024 at 7 p.m. in Schreina47 (Schreinerstraße 47, 10245 Berlin). ---- The question of violence is certainly one of the big, perennial questions that necessarily arise in a revolutionary debate and about which anarchists have also argued from the beginning. Politicians repeatedly emphasize that violence cannot be a legitimate political means, even though the legitimacy and use of violence is the prerequisite for statehood. What does this mean for people who want a stateless society?
How can societies be changed from a dominationless perspective and how can people free themselves from oppressive conditions?
Some consider violence and militancy to be morally untenable, others see it as practically necessary, and others are somewhere in between. What exactly is violence and militancy and how does anarchist violence differ from state violence? Is it justified to cause suffering in order to combat greater suffering?
Can violence and militancy free people or does it automatically lead to new oppression? Are anarchist forces even capable of organizing mass violence? Should anarchists be pacifists or is pacifism a privileged dream?
We want to dare to discuss such a sensitive but therefore so important topic and would like to get to know as different (including non-anarchist) perspectives and thoughts as possible in order to argue constructively.

For optional preparation, we recommend two videos by Peter Seyferth:

1. Pro arguments for the use of force (15 min):

2. Contra arguments against the use of violence (15 min):

We would ask you to test yourself for Corona beforehand. You can recognize us by a sign on the table or by asking at the counter.

We look forward to many different voices and opinions and also to those who simply want to listen!
