Lump Beside Adams Apple

we need "political prisoners"?

this denouncing questions for a workshop at the Berlin anti-prison days xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx we need that we need for the abolition of the state , repression, criminal justice and prisons, prisoners at all? No! But if there still is, we need politically conscious, resisting, fighting and fighting prisoners? Do we need solidarity with movements outside and with fellow prisoners cooperated prisoners? xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx we need "political prisoners" ? Oh dear, what are they at all for what? Is that the politically conscious , no matter what they incarcerated? If the policy actions under Retracted? Those who justify their action politically? So are the anarchist undocumented, left-wing radicals and Nazis alike? If the companions undocumented in jail? Those that come from the movements, we were known before the arrest ? Or even those maladjusted loner / internal were or are in jail politicize ? Is this perhaps even the "simple" resistance in everyday life? The "simple" solidarity with fellow prisoners? Solidarity, especially with the weak, those who fall into "the mill" without denouncing it.? If the politically active or victims a stabilizing system, political justice? In the latter sense ALL prisoners were "political prisoners" , for our to "divide and rule" rights based system - like any other - a political one. xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Or is "political prisoners" a terminology which distinguish them from our side do? Of the prisoners, we do not know with whom we have to do anything? From the "criminals" that we dare not just to call it that, to us but not haunted? If "our" prisoners "political" prisoners so the "good" prisoners, who thus freed of the stigma are the prisoners usually attached? Need prisoners from the movements of these special labeling as a quality? Do the movements outside it in order not to have to share time in prison, criminal justice and exclusion patterns apart in a class society? If they will not even share in it? / bix xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx The "free discussion": xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx The actual event was different than expected. The question "Do we need 'political' Prisoners? "Should be a provocation, an invitation for debate. We were at the agreed upon by our anti-libertarian alliance jail days. I counted at different positions on the issue, did not conduct, also declined an opening statement. Liberal discussion among liberal committed! Then that the intended theme was taken from me at all, almost, was disappointing for me. xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx came the other hand, problems of language I did not want to push aside. Want to argue about words, while it broke out as an accusation that it is much too little practical Solidarity with imprisoned comrades undocumented were struck me as inappropriate quibble. The fact that the movements that call for "direct action", on resistance, in being responsible and act in solidarity in support of their imprisoned members is, of course. However, it was complained strongly that this is not such a classification. In periods of detention, which had more than a few weeks or months, this task remain largely in specialized anti-repression groups or family members and close personal friend of undocumented about the respective prisoners. And there were mostly women who are receiving such continuity upright, while the other activists, more important have to do than to worry about "washed socks" of the cooperative. (Obviously an example from pre-trial detention situations) The whole thing is much like a public insult become. xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx There were very few participants in the well-attended workshops, which were received at the contact with prisoners, do not come from our movements. In this short a debate about whether we, if we are for the abolition of prisons, must stand in solidarity with all prisoners, or whether the limit corresponds to "fighting prisoners" our objectives. A comrade said that with the first written contact would introduce some prisoners to "apologize", you are not a "political prisoner". Obviously, the fear, then to not be important enough that man / woman auseinandnersetze with them. They would not feel to have the necessary degree. xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx So even those who are marginalized by, relate to these concepts. And it was used by almost all the discussants at face value. A comrade from Berlin ABC said it was not him understand why the topic was even raised. The moth of the anti-jail-days "with the jail break society and the world, it produces' mean it clear that it is about everyone and everything go to ALL of repression, exclusion and power structures, all prisoners behind bars and the supposedly "free" non-free society. xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Agreed, said the motto of this! And there were also workshops on Knastsytem general. In my view, however, remains in the libertarian movement much mere slogan. Whilst, the Berlin ABC-Genoss/inn/en the "impunity" and the "Wall" in solidarity to their website. If we look at but their own publications, it is almost exclusively anarchist comrades undocumented world, their situation, their struggles. And the term "political prisoners" seems to be scarcely been examined. The exception: An ABC comrade from Vienna tried relatively late, as was already said a lot, but still on the intended topic of me to steer towards. He rejected this terminology, regret that was not discussed. xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx this I was grateful. At the latest I would want to take up, at least as a kind of final statement. I missed this opportunity was too surprised and astonished at the recent course, I had stiffened so it "my" topic not to press do when the congregation seem to have no interest in it. I was afraid to appear as dogmatic. On the other side: most of those present were silent. All this so as to be "liberal" of becoming even silent listener, was probably a kind of violence against the majority. xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx missed the final statement xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx The Vienna Comrade said that the questions in the written notice had been granted. They have not been discussed. My mistake, for I have they are not again made. However, I had the feeling, that which has broken rail, the complaint about lack of practical solidarity with imprisoned comrades undocumented from our movements, should not be pushed aside. This is a contradiction within the movement. This is a problem. xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx But now an attempt to my starting point to address my discussion of motivation. I believe we need as long as there are prisons (as in all areas of social conflict) politically conscious, resisting, fighting and fighting people. We need solidarity with fellow and movements out there willing to cooperate with prisoners. We too "out there" are confronted with repression and threat of jail. We need Zusammehalt together of interested parties (without overlooking minor differences). What concerns me or us but also about the questionable nature of the definition "Czech political prisoners." And we, the ACP have the problem with this position in the "scene" often stand quite alone. xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Man generally a "homo politicus' needs is different and is used by others. The stereotypical classification of known companions undocumented acts uE divisive in respect of the whole of the prisoners, is also ambiguous, misleading. "Politically," but says nothing. This ought to be further defined. Are they victims of a policy or subjects of political action? And what kind of policy: the suppression or liberation? Sorry, these are still questions. They remain as such. When it comes to the motivation for the "crime" is: Nazis also act politically motivated. xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx But let the the ambiguity beisteite times. I know it and we all know that if we say that we mean people of our community, our movements, if they have fallen into the clutches of the law. And indeed, if they justify their act politically, if not they are "very private" get into trouble. And it will not be discussed as they are in jail "political" act .. why this term "political prisoners" as a static label, as appreciative Order? As distinct from those other than exclusion. This limits our view of the repressive system on class justice. It makes the prisoners invisible or unworthy of attention, the political consciousness only in the jail or contact than previous single fighter / inside of us. But we can, in jail not buck up and come down; need than our fellow-combatants. Even if we with many of them still need to discuss far-reaching goals. But we need revolutionary oriented so also with each other. I hope others in the "scene" in a discussion regarding the I set into the space issues, some other time xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx / bix of "impunity" No.4
