Annual Chaotic-Anarchist Gathering #2 May 30 – June 3, 2024 Hambacher Forest North Rhine-Westphalia, Germany
(slrpnk.net)
We want anarchy. We want freedom and autonomy for everyone, without domination. We want the overthrow of the existing order. We want social revolution.
This hasn’t changed since the last ACAT gathering. Among other topics, the following was discussed last year: Whether intermediary/specific struggles are still a valid proposal under current conditions and/or if we would need them now more than ever; faced with dystopian conditions, in what way we can intervene in social struggles (and whether we want to); the recuperation of anti-authoritarian struggles by authoritarians (based on the experience of the Appelist takeover on the ZAD in Nantes, France); the digital enclosure and its discontents (based on the case of the comrade Boris in France and the struggle there against the global expansion of the digital open-air prison); the history of the insurrectionary method; war; and patriarchy in its techno-industrial form.
This year we will come together again, to meet each other face to face without screens. In big and small groups, with new faces and old acquaintances, and friends. With the experience from last year, we have decided to limit discussions to three thematic days, with only two prepared discussions each day. (Spontaneous discussions can be proposed and started again all the time).
The themes will be:
- International Solidarity
- Extractivism
- War
The meeting will take place in the Hambacher Forest. Days of discussion will be Friday, Saturday and Sunday. Arrival days are Wednesday the 29th and Thursday the 30th and departure day is Monday the 3rd of June.
Bring your distros!
There will be food provided. Tents, sleeping bags, and mats have to be brought. Please write us if you don’t want to sleep in a tent, there will be alternatives (which don’t include climbing), but this options will be provided first and foremost to people who need them to be able to participate in the gathering.
For contacting us or if you have any other questions:

A detailed program, as well an explanation for how to get there and other info will be published here at the beginning of May
All anarchists, wild hearts, free spirits, subversives, and rebels who recognize themselves in this invitation are welcome.
Nevertheless – and with the experience from last year – we want to add a small disclaimer, for those who should maybe think about if they really want to come:
-
People who expect moderated discussions, talking lists, and other social-cybernetic modalities. You can associate yourself under such conditions for small group discussions if you want to do this, but most discussions won’t be like this.
-
People who expect an awareness team for a discussion weekend. There won’t be any.
-
People who expect partying and drug consumption. There are many possibilities for this all the time, a discussion gathering in a forest is maybe not the space for this.
-
People who, when it comes to the question of war, endorse anarchists joining the ranks of (proto-)state formations or want to (morally) pressure anarchists to take the side of this or that state (or even fight for them), please stay away from this gathering.

London, UK : Discussion at Touchpaper Anarchist Library, Sunday 26th May

Nice! What kind of soil are you using?
Great documentary. I do wish they'd spent more time on how their sharing-based economy operates.
The KKK typically files the proper paperwork for their demonstrations and parades in advance. Under what circumstances do you envision them being denied permission to wear their hoods during a permitted demonstration without gifting a first amendment victory to the Klan?
Everyone in this thread has been leftists
I hope that's not the case, cause that's even worse.
@ShunkW says "I’m not seeing any sources" despite the Twitter handle where the receipts are available included in the image. They did no investigation, and they assume the pictured poster is making things up.
I update the post-text with a direct link to the twitter post, which includes a link to where the removed footage was, and has further documentation of how outrageous this is, link the bill, current bill text, and quote a relevant passage.
@ShunkW doubles down, pretends nothing has changed, and links an article that doesn't validate anything they've claimed.
Even you agree that @ShunkW has terrible reading comprehension. Maybe you should give this a second look, rather than backing someone who has demonstrated an alarming lack of media literacy.
The text and changes to the bill is substantially outrageous, but the missing video implies there's even more substance being buried.

People keep bringing up the parking lot incident as if admitting that there isn't definitive proof it wasn't Israel is the same thing as proof that is was Hamas, and errors in reporting mean nothing reported is credible. Building your propaganda model on split hairs is back-firing badly for you. Humanistic Judaism can not be constrained by the straight-jacket of colonial Zionism.
The Undisputed Facts in Gaza Are Enough by Eric Levitz
The case for a ceasefire in Gaza does not rest on Israel’s culpability for any single air strike. The undisputed facts are more than enough to indicate that Israel’s campaign against Hamas has featured a callous disregard for civilian suffering. We don’t need to rely on Hamas to know that Israel has cut off food, fuel, electricity, and water to much of Gaza’s population. Israel’s own government has told us that. Similarly, data from the Gaza Health Ministry is not our only indication that there have been massive civilian casualties in Gaza. The U.N. tells us that Gaza is running out of body bags, while photos published by the IDF portray the large-scale decimation of civilian infrastructure.

"In the spring of 2016, no issue was more important to Benjamin Netanyahu than Donald Trump winning the White House."
With so much on the line, Netanyahu appears to have made a drastic decision. He would dispatch a discreet, highly trusted aide, armed with critical intelligence, to covertly “intervene” in the US election to help put his man Trump in the White House. Based on the FBI documents, the intelligence appears to have consisted of advance knowledge of Russia’s hacking of the Democratic National Committee (DNC) and Hillary Clinton’s presidential campaign, and it may have included confidential details from the stolen e-mails. It was likely obtained by Israeli eavesdropping operations that were targeting secret Russian communications, as well as those of WikiLeaks.
