Memories from Saint-Imier, 1872 to 2023
https://crimethinc.com/StImier2023
In July 2023, some 5000 anarchists gathered in Saint-Imier, Switzerland for a week of events commemorating the anniversary of the establishment of the first international anti-authoritarian labor federation. Here, we explore that history and present a variety of accounts and appraisals from anarchists who came from around the world to participate this year.
@CrimethInc Such a long text and not a word about poor accessibility and the ableist, and ultimately even eugenicist way the gathering was organized, which prevented many immuno-compromised and chronically ill people from even attending. (the extra food line for mask wearers was a cynical joke. And the way you wrote about it is pure ableism. You wrote: "a special section for people who still want to use masks and maintain social distancing". "Want" is the absolute wrong word here, some of us "must" still wear masks, and if you need to keep "want" in there, we "must" wear them because not enough of you ableist assholes still "want" to wear them in oder to protect and include us).
And in your text there is not a mention of the anarcho-capitalist, conspiracist, right-wing libertarian bullshit that was present at the gathering. (At least one of the main organizers is a right wing libertarian, who was active in the anti-masker protests here).
But read bellow.
I was right to call the anarchist movement dead as a movement. And it has died in Saint-Imier in 2023.
