Aber wir müssen auch bedenken, dass wir, wie in den meisten der letzten vier Jahrzehnte, nicht über die nötigen Mittel verfügen werden, um dies zu tun oder es auch nur zu verlangsamen. Was sind unsere <a href="https://mastodon.trueten.de/tags/St%C3%A4rken" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Stärken</span></a>, <a href="https://mastodon.trueten.de/tags/Schw%C3%A4chen" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Schwächen</span></a>, <a href="https://mastodon.trueten.de/tags/Chancen" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Chancen</span></a> und <a href="https://mastodon.trueten.de/tags/Risiken" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Risiken</span></a> als Bewegung mit begrenzten Mitteln? </p><p> </p><p><strong>Stärken</strong></p>Seien wir ehrlich, physisch haben wir im Moment nicht viele. Es gibt viele unverbundene lokale Gruppierungen, eine kleine (wenn auch lebhafte) Szene von <a href="https://network23.org/ass/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Hausbesetzern</a>, ein paar Orte wie <a href="http://freedompress.org.uk" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">„Freedom“ </a>oder „<a href="https://www.starandshadow.org.uk/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Star and Shadow“</a>, ein paar Kooperativen wie „<a href="https://www.radicalroutes.org.uk/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Radical Routes“</a>, Verlage wie „<a href="https://www.activedistributionshop.org/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Active</a>“, etwas <a href="https://greenandblackcross.org/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">rechtliche Unterstützung</a>, ein <a href="https://kolektiva.social/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">soziales #Randnetzwerk</a> und so weiter. Das soll nicht heißen, dass es kein Potenzial gibt – wir haben schon früher ernsthafte Fortschritte gemacht. Die letzten drei Wellen anarchistisch geprägter Aktivitäten, <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anti-globalization_movement#Impact" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">1999–2003</a>, <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2010_United_Kingdom_student_protests" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">2010</a>–<a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Occupy_London" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">2013</a> und die Bewegung für gegenseitige Hilfe <a href="https://freedompress.org.uk/product/fight-for-a-new-normal/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">2020–2021</a>, sind noch nicht aus dem Gedächtnis verschwunden und haben viele Lehren zu ziehen. Außerdem gibt es eine große Welle von Ehemaligen, die möglicherweise von einem Angebot begeistert werden könnten, das einige Lektionen darüber gelernt hat, wie man Bewegungen nicht nur inspiriert, sondern auch aufrechterhält. <p> Im Gegensatz zu unseren frenetischen Freunden in der <a href="https://mastodon.trueten.de/tags/sozialdemokrat" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>sozialdemokrat</span></a>ischen und <a href="https://mastodon.trueten.de/tags/gewerkschaft" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>gewerkschaft</span></a>lichen Szene kämpfen wir nicht am falschen Ende eines Challenge-Fail-Zyklus und tatsächlich wurden viele unserer Vorhersagen über die <a href="https://freedomnews.org.uk/2016/12/29/editorial-british-anarchism-in-2016/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Mängel</a> des Corbynismus voll und ganz bestätigt. Wir haben ein hervorragendes aktuelles Beispiel für spontane gegenseitige <a href="https://mastodon.trueten.de/tags/Massenhilfe" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Massenhilfe</span></a> (<a href="https://mastodon.trueten.de/tags/Covid" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Covid</span></a>), auf das wir verweisen können, wenn wir für den (Wieder-)Aufbau dezentraler <a href="https://mastodon.trueten.de/tags/Solidarit%C3%A4tsnetzwerk" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Solidaritätsnetzwerk</span></a>e in der Arbeiterklasse plädieren. Obwohl es uns an großen föderalen Organisationen fehlt, die das ganze Land abdecken können, verfügen wir über Räume, die als Knotenpunkte für schnelles Wachstum dienen könnten, sowie zumindest über einige freundschaftliche Kontakte zu Zentren, die von Gleichgesinnten betrieben werden (Friends Meeting Houses, <a href="https://mastodon.trueten.de/tags/Arbeitervereine" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Arbeitervereine</span></a>, <a href="https://mastodon.trueten.de/tags/Arbeitergenossenschaften" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Arbeitergenossenschaften</span></a> und dergleichen). </p><p> Und trotz all der vielen Schrecken, die vor uns liegen, wird unsere <a href="https://mastodon.trueten.de/tags/Politik" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Politik</span></a> wahrscheinlich durch das zunehmend repressive Verhalten der <a href="https://mastodon.trueten.de/tags/Regierungen" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Regierungen</span></a> im In- und <a href="https://mastodon.trueten.de/tags/Ausland" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Ausland</span></a> schärfer konturiert werden. Die britische Öffentlichkeit hat sich im letzten Jahrzehnt insgesamt erstaunlich gleichgültig gezeigt, wenn es um den Schutz ihrer eigenen <a href="https://mastodon.trueten.de/tags/Freiheiten" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Freiheiten</span></a> ging. Sie schaute weg, als Proteste auf von der <a href="https://mastodon.trueten.de/tags/Polizei" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Polizei</span></a> genehmigte Spaziergänge reduziert wurden, während direkte Aktionen kriminalisiert und <a href="https://mastodon.trueten.de/tags/Gef%C3%A4ngnisstrafen" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Gefängnisstrafen</span></a> verhängt wurden, während die Innenstädte im ganzen Land unter die ständige Beobachtung der gläsernen Augen von <a href="https://mastodon.trueten.de/tags/BigBrother" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>BigBrother</span></a> gestellt wurden. Wir können auf jahrelange Warnungen verweisen und Maßnahmen vorschlagen, wenn das eine oder andere Ereignis, das durch die neue Ordnung der Dinge ausgelöst wurde, die Öffentlichkeit dazu bringt, aufmerksam zu werden. </p><p> Die übliche linke, respektable Politik hat zu diesen Angriffen wenig Bemerkenswertes zu sagen, außer „das ist schlecht, mkay“, während der Free <a href="https://mastodon.trueten.de/tags/Englishman" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Englishman</span></a> <em>Ruuule <a href="https://mastodon.trueten.de/tags/Britannnia" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Britannnia</span></a></em>, der sogenannte Pro-Freiheits-Mob (<em>Spiked!</em>, rechte Broadsheets usw.) dies entweder ignoriert oder aktiv zu mehr anstachelt. Anarchisten sind eine der wenigen Gruppierungen, die nicht nur konsequent vor einem Problem gewarnt oder vage über <a href="https://mastodon.trueten.de/tags/Westminster" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Westminster</span></a> gejammert haben, das sich absolut nicht darum schert, sondern sich auch dafür eingesetzt und manchmal Maßnahmen ergriffen haben, um es zu bekämpfen. Während der Phase der Anti-Masken-<a href="https://mastodon.trueten.de/tags/Pandemie" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Pandemie</span></a> haben einige unserer verschwörerischeren Genossinnen und Genossen alles gegeben. Wenn wir klug vorgehen, gibt es viel Spielraum für Gegenwehr.
