Often you could see groups of people strolling through
the streets, sometimes masses, sometimes just a few.
Sometimes with banners, sometimes just chanting,
clapping, sometimes attacking and always one step
ahead of the cops.
It became obvious, that this development leads to a
problem for the police. With the absence of announced
places, official structures, timelines and homogenous
methods, a lot of their strategies end in nowhere. We
should keep in mind, that this will not last forever. They
will change their methods, they will try to find ways.
The biggest threats of their most powerful weapon,
Democracy, are conversion and assimilation. Politics,
if parliamentary or not, will always try to profit from
the assimilation of conflicts. We need to create a climate of clear words and deeds, that don’t leave any
doubt. Whoever gets involved in political mediation
will play after their rules and steps up on a stage, on
which they dictate the order.
Even if things cooled down a bit the last half a year we can see, for example with the riots in the night of
June 6th, that nothing is over. As anarchists, we will
continue to be present, sometimes more sometimes
less visible, with all we have, our ideas in words and
deeds, in the streets.
Lets destroy the cage they’re keeping us in and take
back our lives!
For anarchy and subversion!
Incomplete chronology of subversive moments and
deeds in the last months in Hamburg
04.05. Colour and stones against an office of the SPD (socialdemocratic party of Germany – ruling in Hamburg) in
the district of Altona.
06.05. Attack with colour and stones against the swedish
honorary- consulate in Hamburg as an action against the
elections and in solidarity with the rebels in sweden.
10.05. Around 20 masked individuals attack the home of
hamburgs mayor Olaf Scholz aswell as the cops installed
infront of the house for his protection. Colour, stones and
fireworks demaged the house, the station of the cops aswell
as their cars. For the withdrawal they left caltrops.
21.05. Stones and colour against the SPD office in Harburg
district.
03.06. Colour against the SPD office in Niendorf district.
05.06. Colour against the SPD office in St. Pauli distict.
06.06. After the brutal attacks by cops on a protest held by
refugees from Lampedusa and their supporters, which took
place on Thursday, June 5th at the Hamburger Rathausmarkt — hundreds of people took to the streets of St. Pauli.
A big unauthorized demonstration with up to 1,000 participants started by 8pm at Neue Pferdemarkt and went over
Schanzenviertel’s main street, the Schulterblatt. Slogans
against the State and borders have been sprayed on walls of
houses, banks and shops, there was firework and it was loud.
After the cops stopped the demonstration the crowd dispersed and came together again at different times and places. Partly, there were several demonstrations at the same
time.
The local office of the social-democratic party (SPD) in St.
Pauli got attacked; furthermore, the entrance of the home
of Hamburg’s senator of justice in the Brigittenstraße was
destroyed. People built many barricades and the cops got
attacked. These are only a few impressions of this night. The
cops didn’t manage to control the situation. It was pleasant
to see that many took own initiative and were well prepared.
No borders! No states!
For many uncontrolled summer nights!
As it could be read tonight on a freshly painted wall in St. Pauli:
“For social revolt!”
12.06. Attack of “VANDALOS” against the home of the architect Volkwin Margin, who planned stadiums for the football – worldcup in Brasil and other shit. Slogans like “Fuck
FIFA!” were spraypainted, flyers were distributed and fireworks lit up.
20.06. Against the spectacle of domination! Spontaneous
demonstration against the football-worldcup and attack
against Adidas. In the evening 30-40 people spontanious
and unauthorised gathered and held a demonstration in the
Schanzen district to show their hate against the FIFA, the
states and its servants aswell as their solidarity with the rebels in Brasil. The Adidas store in Schulterblatt was attacked
with stones and colour. Before the cops arrived the people
dispersed. This short moment showed that we can take the
streets we just have to do it.
