Kein Knast! Kein Staat!

-Anti-autoritäre Tage gegen die Knastgesellschaft-

Während wir arbeiten, konsumieren, funktionieren… bauen sie den Käfig in dem wir leben!

Das Leben unter einem demokratischen Regime ist geprägt von einem stetigen Prozess der Anpassung an die Probleme und Veränderungen des Systems.

Der Staat reflektiert stetig sein Auftreten und Handeln, um durch Reformen und das Anbieten von vermeintlichen Alternativen einen „modernen“ bürgerlichen Diskurs aufrechtzuerhalten. Den Unruhen, die nicht in diesen Konstrukt passen wird so die Grundlage entzogen und sie rechtfertigen schon beim aufkommen in den Augen vieler ein hartes Durchgreifen des Staates.

Dieses Verhalten kann in so gut wie jedem Bereich des Lebens beobachtet werden. Durch einige ihrer stärksten Waffen, die Illusion einer Partizipation sowie durch einem ständig zu erweiternden Arsenal an sogenannten Rechten, perfektioniert sich die Demokratie Stück für Stück zu einem System, in dem die Beherrschten aktiv an ihrer Beherrschung teilhaben und die Abläufe mitgestalten.

Doch die Umsetzung ihres sogenannten sozialen Friedens kann nicht vollkommen ohne Störungen und Rückschläge umgesetzt werden. Die soziale Ungleichheit, die Teil der herrschenden demokratischen Ordnung ist, scheint an einigen Orten weit von den vorgesehenen, stabilen Herrschaftsverhältnissen abzuweichen.
An diesen Orten beginnen immer mehr Menschen, den ihnen zugewiesenen Rahmen zu verlassen und zu zu rebellieren.

Außerdem stehen Europas Grenzen und damit auch die Finanz- und Sozialsysteme der Staaten unter dauerhaftem Ansturm der „Fremden“ aus den Teilen der Welt, die den Reichtum hier sicherstellen oder aus Ländern, in denen die Ungleichheit schon das funktionelle Maß überschritten hat. Mit ihnen, den Ungewollten der Demokratie, entstehen Dynamiken, auf die der Staat reagieren muss, um seine Existenz nicht gefährdet zu sehen. Diese Entwicklungen kommen allerdings keineswegs aus dem Nichts, sondern sind den Verwaltenden und Regierenden seit langer Zeit durch Studien und Analysen dieser Dynamiken bekannt.
Gegenprogramme und Prozesse laufen und die Staaten samt ihrer Strukturen und Apparate befinden sich wieder in einem Stadium der Umstrukturierung. Effektiver, schneller und günstiger soll alles funktionieren. So auch der Repressions-Apparat, der die Ordnung sichern und aufrechterhalten, den Staat verteidigen sowie Störende, Ungewollte, Überflüssige und seine Feind_innen angreifen soll. Neben globaler Vernetzung und Aufrüstung der Repressions-Apparate muss er auch sozial angepasst werden um nicht zu einem Konfliktfeld, einem Feindbild der Beherrschten zu werden. Eine Gesellschaft, die die Repression legitim findet und sich aktiv in ihrer Rolle als partizipierende Bürger_innen an ihr beteiligt, wird sich nicht auflehnen.

Diese um sich greifende Praxis der häufig gewalttätigen Befriedung ist nicht unbekannt – gerade jenen, die in den Gefängnissen saßen und kämpften, als diese in den 1980er und 90er Jahren auf dem gesamten europäischen Kontinent brodelten und Aufstände, Revolten und Hungerstreiks gegen die brutalen Zustände in den Knästen an vielen Orten den komplett fremdbestimmten Knastalltag durchbrachen. Die Methoden, mit denen diesen Revolten begegnet wurde – neben Unterdrückung und Repression eben auch Ausweitung der Illusion der Teilnahme und Mitverantwortlichkeit am eigenen Eingesperrtsein und damit einhergehend eine tiefgreifende Tendenz der forcierten Vereinzelung der Eingesperrten – finden wir heute auf beiden Seiten der Mauern.
Der Knast als die maximale Drohgebärde des Staates gegen jene, die nicht in dem vorgeschriebenen Rahmen zu funktionieren imstande oder bereit sind – er ist tatsächlich bereits überall, er existiert nicht mehr bloß als graue Mauer, vor deren Inneren wir uns zu fürchten haben – er ist bereits konkrete Realität in unser aller Leben, er ist bloß die vom Staat realisierte maximale Form der selben Einsperrung, an die wir uns von Geburt an zu gewöhnen haben.

Wenn wir also die Subversion 1 wollen, den Umsturz des Systems und ein Ende jeglicher Herrschaft und Autorität, um ein Leben in Freiheit zu entwickeln, müssen wir rebellieren!
Wenn wir einen sozialen Umsturz wollen, der nicht einfach den Weg für eine neue Herrschaft ebnet, müssen wir soziale Konflikte wahrnehmen, analysieren und selber schaffen. Durch eine kontinuierliche Intervention wie permanente Auseinandersetzung mit den herrschenden Verhältnissen, können wir versuchen kleine Brüche in der Normalität des Systems zu erzeugen. Das Ziel sollte sein, ausgehend von dem was in diesen erkämpften Räumen wachsen konnte, anzusetzen um diese Knastgesellschaft zu zerstören.

In weiten Teilen Europas scheint die Subversion zu schlafen. Lasst sie uns, bewaffnet mit unseren Ideen und Leidenschaften für die Freiheit, aufwecken und der Misere ein Ende setzen.
Ob Gefängnisse, Lager oder Grenzen, Institutionen oder Behörden, Wirtschaft oder Banken, die Bullen oder das Militär, stellen wir uns diesem System und seinen Verteidiger_innen entgegen. Genau wie wir all die Prägungen in unseren Köpfen, die Normalitäten und Gesetze, die diese Verhältnisse geschaffen haben, zerstören müssen um unserer Freiheit einen Schritt näher zu kommen.

Wir wollen ein Wochenende zusammenkommen und über Ideen und Kämpfe für soziale Revolten gegen die Knastgesellschaft und ihre Welt diskutieren. Wir wollen über Kommendes sowie Aktuelles reden, uns austauschen und kennenlernen, um festzustellen, ob wir Perspektiven teilen, und herrausfinden, wie wir zusammen kämpfen können.

No Prison – No State!
Anti-Authoritarian days against the prison society in Hamburg
8th-11th October, Hamburg

Whilst we are working, consuming, functioning… they bold the cage we`re living in!

Life under democratic regime is dominated by a continuous process of adaption to the problems and developments of the system. The state permanently reflects and improves itself, trying to keep up a civic discourse through offering so-called alternatives and reforms. This is supposed to destroy the basis for unrest and resistance and to many it legitimates strong repressive answers to such rebellious behavior.
This phenomenon can be found in almost every aspect of modern life. The illusion of participation if one of their strongest weapons, and together with the ongoing expansion of so called rights, democracy is developing towards a system, in which the ruled are actively participating in their own oppression. But their maintaining of this so called social peace doesn’t happen without any disruption and errors. In many places, the social inequality reaches a point, at which it doesnt maintain, but starts to threaten the stability of power. In these places, more and more people start to leave their prescribed frame and rebel.

Furthermore, europe is facing a constant stampede for its borders (including its financial and social systems) by people from those countries, in which the inequality has already reached the peak of functionality. These unwanted of the democracy are creating dynamics to
which the state has to react, if he doesn’t want to see his existence under threat. But these developments do not come out of nowhere – they have been expected by those in power, these dynamics are known through studies and analysis for a long time. Counter-programs and processes are running and the states, including their structures and apparatuses of control, are in state of restructuring again. Everything has to become more fast, more effective, more cheap. So does the apparatus of repression, which is supposed to defend the current order, defend the state and attack rebels, unwanted, un-needed and the states enemies. Besides the expanding networking and armament of the apparatuses of repression, there is a need for social assimilation as well, for to avoid the development towards a field of conflict and a target of the hatred of the oppressed. A society, that finds the ever expanding repression legitimate and actively takes part in its development won’t rise up.

This ever increasing praxis of often violent appeasement is not unknown – especially to those, who have been incarcerated in the prisons during the 1980s and 90s, when there where riots, insurrections and hungerstrikes going on allover the european continent, creating cracks
in the destroying force of prisons daily grind, it must be pretty familiar. The methods which where used to crush these tensions – on one hand, repression and violence and on the other hand, intensified improvement of the illusion of actively participating and having
influence on the own oppression – can nowadays be found on both sides of the walls. The prison, as the states most frightening weapon of repression against those, who are either not willing or abled to comply with its rules, is actually everywhere, it became much more then just the a grey wall which we`re supposed to fear, it became a concrete reality in everybodies life – the prison is just the states maximized version of the same confinement we have to get used to since we where born.

If we want subversion, the turnover of the system and the end of all oppression and authority, for the
realization of a life in freedom, we have to rebel!

If we want a social revolt, that doesn’t just pave the way for another authoritarian reality, we have to recognize social conflicts, we have analyze them and create them ourselves. Through permanent intervention,
conflict and reflection of the existent, we can provoke cracks in the normality of the system. Our goal should be to destroy this prison society, starting from what could grow in the spaces permanent attack could open.
In most parts of europe, subversion seems to be asleep. Let`s wake it up, armed with our ideas and passions for freedom and put an end to the misery. If prisons, camps or borders, the states institutions, banks, the economy, the cops or the military – lets face the system and its
defendants – just as we have to destroy all the authoritarian bullshit in our heads, the rules and norms created by the existent, for getting closer to our freedom.

We want to come together on this weekend for discussing ideas and struggles for social revolts against the prison society and its world. We want to talk about whats up and what is to come, get to know each
other for finding out, if we share perspectives and find ways of struggling together.
