Oh w e l l .

Once a g a i n i t seems as t h o u g h my name i s s i g n e d t o most a r t i c l e s / r e v i e w s e t c . I n e v e r p l a n i t l i k e t h i s , as I'm a l w a y s b a d g e r i n g people t o c o n t r i b u t e a r t i c l e s & whatever, but a f t e r a b i t I t i r e o f h u n t i n g p e o p l e down a s k i n g f o r c o n t r i b u t i o n s o r r e v i e w s , so I end up d o i n g most m y s e l f .

I r e a l l y e n j o y e d t h e wimmins i s s u e o f MRR w h i c h j u s t came o u t l a s t month. My f a v o u r i t e a r t i c l e was t h e DC s e c t i o n i n w h i c h some o f t h e men, & a g r o u p o f womm i n were asked t h e same q u e s t i o n s & t h e n l a t e r compared a n s w e r s . I t r e a l l y s t r u c k me how t h e wimmin were q u i c k t o make c h a r a c t e r i s t i c d i s t i n c t i o n s b e t ween wimmin & men, & how h e s i t a n t t h e men were t o a d m i t any d i f f e r e n c e s a t all.

I t seems as t h o u g h t h e men were p u t i n a t r a p - t h e y knew t h e i r answers c o u l d be j u d g e d as " t y p i c a l " o r " a - t y p i c a l " male b y a l l t h e " l i b e r a t e d - f e m i n -

i s t wimmin" r e a d i n g t h e i s s u e & so i t seemed t h a t t h e y gave t h e answers t h e y t h o u g h t t h e wimmin w o u l d w a n t t o h e a r .

I r e a l i s e d how easy i t i s f o r wimmin t o c a l l men s e x i s t & f o r a man s t r i v i n g t o r i d h i m s e l f & o t h e r s o f sexism t h i s can be v e r y d i s c o u r a g i n g . I a l s o r e a l i s e d how h a r d i t i s f o r a man t o c a l l a wimmin s e x i s t w i t h o u t b e i n g accused o f " n o t u n d e r s t a n d i n g wimmin", p u t t i n g down one o f s o c i e t y s ' " v i c t i m s " , o r e v en b e i n g c a l l e d s e x i s t b a c k . Why i s there t h i s double-standard?

Isn't that sexist i n itself?

I'm n o t s a y i n g t h a t a l o t o f men, even in " p o l i t i c a l l y correct" circles aren't s e x i s t , most a r e , I'm j u s t s a y i n g t h a t most wimmin a r e t o o , & we need t o recogn i s e t h i s & w o r k on b o t h sexes g e t t i n g o u t o f s o c i e t y s t r a d i t i o n a l r o l e s & characteristics.

We a l s o need t o e n c o u r age each o t h e r i n our d i f f e r e n t s t e p s & not j u s t c r i t i s i z e f o r the steps not yet taken.

I t w i l l be i n t e r e s t i n g t o see i n t h e "non-sexist society o f the future" i f men/wimmin w i l l s t i l l have d i f f e r e n t answers t o t h e same q u e s t i o n s & j u s t : > how d i f f e r e n t o u r b e h a v i o u r & a t t i t u d e s w i l l be.

The d i v e r s i t y o f t h e N. American ana r c h i s t movement (& I suppose as a w h o l e ) , t o me, i s b o t h i t ' s s t r e n g t h & i t s m a j o r weakness.

F o r example, gene r a l l y speaking, a n a r c h o - s y n d i c a l i s t s see a s o c i e t y based much more on an industrial worker-controlled situation while ecologists & anti-technologists see t h i s as moreof a danger t o e a r t h & i n d i v i d u a l f r e e d o m .

And so, on Wednesday m o r n i n g a t 10am when t h e s q u a t t e r s were supposed t o meet w i t h Hackney c o u n c i l , p o l i c e o v l o t o d l.ho n q u a t n .

The e s t a t e was t h e n made i n t o a m i n i - p o l i c e s t a t e t o prevent re-squatting.

The f u n n i e s t t h i n g I saw d u r i n g t h i s w h o l e e p i s o d e was when t h e owner o f one o f t h e t o r c h e d c a r s showed up... he was v e r y angry*.

The c a r had a p p a r e n t l y been s t o l e n ( f r o m a r i c h n e i g h b o r h o o d I hope'.) & t h e owner had i n s u r a n c e .

F i v e p e o p l e were a r r e s t e d by p o l i c e who were a t t h e t o w n h a l l e x p e c t i n g t r o u b l e . D u r i n g t h e 3 day ' s i e g e ' i t was i n t e r e s t i n g t o see the r e a c t i o n of the a c t u a l tenants on t h e e s t a t e .

I r e c a l l one i r a t e tenant saying the squatters destroyed the f l a t s & l i v e d l i k e pigs.

But o f t h e s q u a t s I saw, & t h e one I s t a y e d i n f o r n e a r l y two months, t h e y were c l e a n , w e l l t a k e n c a r e o f , & any p r o b l e m s i n e l e c t r i c i t y o r p l u m b i n g were r e p a i r e d . . . a f t e r a l l , t h e s e a r e t h e i r homes'.

And a f t e r most e v i c t i o n s , t h e plumbi n g & e l e c t r i c i t y a r e d e s t r o y e d by the police & b a i l i f f s !

Because s q u a t t i n g i s somewhat l e g a l , t h e counci l must have p e o p l e who i n t e n d t o occupy a f l a t b e f o r e t h e y can e v i c t .

W a l k i n g down any s t r e e t i n Hackney I c o u l d see a t l e a s t 2 empty f l a t s i n one b l o c k .

The g o v ' t , w a n t s p a y i n i n g tenants not squatters.

As I was l e a v i n g London t h e s q u a t t e r s were a t t e m p t i n g t o become even more o r g a n i s e d & p l a n n i n g more r e s i s t a n c e f o r more e x p e c t e d mass e v i c t ions.

Sunday, May 1, 1988. C e n t r a l Park, New York c i t y . F r e e c o n c e r t 12-8pm.

T h i s y e a r s theme was P o l i c e B r u t a l i i * y. The p i g s a s s i g n e d t o t h e c o n c e r t were not too happy about t h i s & c o n s t a n t l y h a s s l e d people about beer d r i n k i n g , herb smoking e t c , a l s o u n d e r c o v e r p i g s wandered through t h e crowd, doing such l o v e l y t h i n g s as t a k i n g p i c t u r e s of people f o r t h e i r f i l e s .

Anway, t o g e t on t o t h e bands- t h e r e was q u i t e a v a r i e t y , something f o r everybody.

I t s t a r t e d o f f w i t h some h i p p i e s i t w i t h a c o u s t i c g u i t a r s , then some r a p bands, both which I found r a t h e r bori n g . Then t h e b e s t p a r t o f the a f t e r noon- Nausea. As soon as they w a l k e d onto the s t a g e a l l t h e punks jumped out o f t h e i r s e a t s & r a n t o t h e f r o n t .

Nausea p l a y e d a l l t h e i r b e s t songs such as " P r o d u c t i v e n o t D e s t r u c t i v e " , "World of tomorrow", "Red Winter" and a l s o a' cftVer o f the b u s i n e s s song "The r e a l enemy". We had a b l a s t , po/

oing, slamming, & d i v i n g under t h e h o t summer sun i n t h e b e a u t i f u l outdoors.

Next was a s a l s a band, then t h e F a l s e P r o p h e t s p u t on q u i t e a t h e a t r i c a l performance, one o f t h e h i g h l i g h t s was S t e f a n marching around t h e s t a g e w i t h a "SilencesDeath/AIDsgate" poster, then more h i p p i e s p l a y e d which I m i s s ed 'cause we went t o g e t more b e e r & p u f f the s a c r e d h e r b .

When we g o t back a reggae band, Chin A f r i c a p l a y e d , they f u c k i n g jammed o u t ! G r e a t !

On t h e i r l a s t -on song "One w o r l d s enough f o r a l l o f u s " the audience helped them on t h e chorus & n e a r t h e end o f i t they i n v i t e d everyone t o come on t h e s t a g e & dance.

A t e r r i f i c ending t o an i n s p i r i n g c o n c e r t , t h i s was one o f the b e s t RAR c o n c e r t s I ' v e s e e n over t h e y e a r s .

Fuck the c a p i t a l i s t s l i m e who want t o make money o f f our music. T h i s i s the r e a l t h i n g . Punks not Dead!
