Germany: Fighting for the Autonomous Youth Center

It’s 50 years since the energy of the post-’66 student rebels, which sparked a wave of squatted autonomous social centres across West Germany, reached Wuppertal. The most well-established of the centres that followed, Wuppertal Autonomous Centre (known as the AZ), has existed on Gathe Street for 23 years, but is now in a fight for its life as a far-right Turkish nationalist mosque group allies with a gentrifying city council to force them, alongside many others, out of the neighbourhood. In the below feature, first written for anarchist paper Tacheles, the collective talk a bit about their history and the battle at hand.

In practice yes. So we can imagine a world where you don't need to play silly financial games in the #stockMarket, or #propertyMarket while #gentrifying and destroying livelihoods to save enough for your household.

We don't need to worship the #corporations, and be sychophants to the banking #establishment. Worshipping them for the #credit they bestow, in exchange for believing and playing along with their racket and ponzi.

That's really the crux of it.
