we'll have some reprinted crimethinc zines
please tell me your under 20
well, if anyone sees a problem in putting up crimethinc stuff at fnb stall, i have a suggestion: do it fucking yourself and put whatever shit you want on the table. fair?
Haha fuck sakes!Although if I did have a gripe I'd say it was with feeding the people of Galway - I hate that city, I really do, they rival Cork city people for pure culchie arrogance, with Kilkenny town people topping the charts.
the water in galway is safe to drink now.
Yeah, give it time and with it being done regularly, see what happens? I really don't mean to or want to be knocking you. I mean, you're from lithuania right? I always enjoy reading about the various activities, actions and organisation of the rather nascent eastern european anarchist movement in Abolishing the Borders from Below and it seems like food not bombs activities are quite a big part of a lot of that (and in the case of russia, can even get you killed). And you are thus dealling with your own experiences of political activity and praxis. Though I see in a lot of this, activities (activities that are quite influenced by north american anarchism and anarchist activity) that the also quite young Irish anarchist movement (or perhaps in this case the cultural wing, ) would have previously been involved in but has since given up on.
There's nothing wrong with going to each other's houses either though. It might not be as "political" but then again who can have a problem with feeding the homeless? It's a pretty safe and good cause. Just be honest about it.
As for the direct action, grassroots and diy I previously would have agreed with this but probably since don't. It's DIY in the punk sense but not in the sense of encouraging the self activity of the homeless or other marginalised groups, it's grassroots in the sense that it's a horizontal/non-hierarchical group but not a grassroots response to the issue of homlessness and it's direct action in that it's un mediated but direct action has a different meaning and understanding to me.
Well, I'd argue it's not all that sound enough to be applicable to anyone's life, because of the emphais on dropout politics, apart from a very small amount of people who would fit a broad yet quite homogenous set of cultural,social,racial,economic,etc. backgrounds (Alot of which I'd probably also fullfill) least of all middle class gentlemen and ladies. In general I find people are opened up to ideas in different ways and wouldn't discount this it's just possibly not as effective as other methods.
I like Ramors review of Days of War here

A bit about the nice sounding but ultimately hollow nature of most crimethinc literature. It is well written, poetic and lyrical but ...
Yeah, but this is Eirecore, so it's all about the bitchiness. But it's also that I don't like talking politics too much and on eirecore as well/especially. I kind of feel embarassed and ashamed as if it feels out of place. But I can post some more if the conversation develops further.
Here's an interesting action involving working with (rather than for) the homeless that was also quite impowering and was working with a radical homeless group. Though I don't know what has since happened as I'm out of the country and haven't heard anymore.

Are you suggesting me, that food not bombs (or crimethinc??) is not working properly in Ireland, so I should learn from your experience and give it up? Correct me if I'm wrong.
Now, this DIY is not in a punk sense. I might have been involved in the scene back in Lithuania, but my friends that helped me alot, never were. They are just simple lads, enjoying MTV and going out on weekends and this was different experience to them.
As for the involvement of homeless, I must confess, I got totally confused. I not so well familiar with society here and comparing to things in Lithuania, it seems that all the homelessness doesn't exist here. Anyway, establishing a contact with these people is now the first thing on to-do list.
I would be all very nice, if I could just like that, after spending few months in unknown society do a direct-in-the-balls-of-the-problem-action, but I can't. I'm doing what I can and see where I could improve.
Tell me, what's applicable to anyone's life? And dropping out was essential only in one zine out of three. Did you read them at all? I mentioned mid-class ladies and gents as the ones that would find 'politics is the art of..' zine sound - it has little to do with all this dumpster diving, squatting etc.
And let me ask, if I had instead brought H.Bey's 'TAZ', would you have a problem with it too?
