Boring answer: I have basic art education from design studies so I had to draw quite a few still life arrangements with white cardboard. Beyond that I’ve been just sitting down with photos of old maps, including pre-digital National Geographic maps and trying my best to replicate them.

Yeah, sure, that’s why they had the police beat up protesters and journalists.

It’s not over as long as the working class exists. Capital owners have addresses.

A bit late but with the glacial speed of the sub: thanks, yes, I draw it on tablet so folds are indeed just a texture.

Not long ago in Poland a pedestrian would have the right of way only after they were already on the crossing. So if you would get killed on a crosswalk that would be classified as intrusion and the driver would go scot-free

There isn’t much I hate more than Christiania. Started as a project of privileged kids looking for a place to smoke weed and occupying a land that was meant for redevelopment and actual communal housing. Cool, cool. It quite quickly became a class society, with peddlers (those who sell drugs) ostentatiously flaunting their wealth, with the other side of the “commune” developing into a typical bourgeoisie, nuclear-family powered suburb, all with a horse rink included.

In this revolutionary commune that is not bound by the laws of European Union, as they claim, you can buy Nestle products and pay for them with a card.

It is, ultimately, a weed dispensary with state monopoly, holding together with the police violence against mostly minorities that sell weed outside its walls indispensable for its well-being.

But then, I wouldn’t say it’s a problem of the anarchist movement. Anarchists are generally aware of those contradictions and the anarchist praxis is that of building an alternative to the society within the society. Christiana was a hippie project. Hippies, in my opinion, destroyed the left wing movement. They decided that they can use their privilege (because, of course, it was mostly white, middle class kids) to fuck off from the society. They withdrew from the class struggle at large. Instead of working in the unions, instead of organizing with Rainbow Coalition, they just fucked off the their “horizontally governed communes” to smoke weed and have sex.

Fuck hippies. And fuck Christiania.

Also, fun fact, last year they legally bought the land from the city, using a loan from the city.

Well, was it really unions or the bloodshed of the two world wars and fear of the world revolution?

US cities could be easily compressed to be third their size with people having access to green areas, walkable neighborhoods and basic convenience by the door but having 5 square meters of grass in front of their porch and F-350 parked outside is just too important for them.

No. The interaction between science and religion has always been a complicated one but, ultimately, it all regarded power.
