Looking back at the Occupy Pittsburgh commune

Looking back at the Occupy Pittsburgh commune

At our best, Occupy Pittsburgh provided many of our own needs, self-organized and shared food, clothing, medical assistance, published our own newspaper, organized spontaneous and planned disruptions, marches and occupations, organized teach-ins and discussions, acoustic jam sessions and on and on. [...] At our worst, we legislated over a park that we had declared liberated, demeaned our own efforts and valued our appearance in the media, in court, and to the law more than our own health and autonomy

Fire Set in Prison Construction Office in Dresden, Germany

We see in jails a place of pointed mutilation, where people are (supposed to be) broken. The outcasts of society are locked away here to hide problems in living together. Instead of taking collective responsibility for these problems, it is left to the judiciary to decide who is allowed to live in the world outside the walls and who should only view the narrow perimeter of the prison through bars and fences. As anarchists we oppose state repression, we oppose the imprisonment of people, be it through analogous walls or the technological imprisonment in the open air prison.
