Syndicate: gettoattack: austria against racism |
hi syndicateers, finally we got the english version of this text going. it would be great if someone with spare time at thei hands could translate it to his/her native language (hey, your chance to trick us, as we won't most likely not know what the hell you wrote anyway ;). the rest is self explanatory, the url is: http://www.t0.or.at/gettoattack today we have a full day of actions, tomorrow a big deomonstration. i know, this is peanuts in the mayhem europe is going throuhg, but i thought you might want to know... if you want to link to our page, please use one of those: http://www.t0.or.at/gettoattack/img/gta_logo_small.gif http://www.t0.or.at/gettoattack/img/gta_logo.gif lots of love, micz -- Get to attack is opposed to the institutionalization of racism, sexism and nationalism. Get to attack propagates the active consolidation of individuals, groups and institutions with the common goal of establishing an offensive political alternative. Get to attack is a call to action from all those who wish not to be forced into the defensive by the 27 % right-wing extremist Austrian voters. Get to attack stands for those who do not want to passively linger in the 'xenophobic mob'. Get to attack propagates a dynamic and democratic culture in which open conflict is possible, opposed to the continual manufacturing of stereotypes by right-wing populism. Antagonism versus populism! We demand the enactment of a law against racism. We demand a right of citizenship which is not born out of the myth of Austrian Blut and Boden. Get to attack does not ask for your passport or nationality, but rather challenges this very question. We are not demanding an extension of privileges to an additional group, but rather questioning the seemingly self-evident model of 'inside' and 'outside', which this kind of thinking presupposes. 'The Austrian' exists as little as 'foreign infiltration'. Xenophobia is not a consensus, but rather the effect of exaggerated social conflicts which should not be tolerated with an affirmative reflex, but rather with opposition. Whoever calls for the erection of borders ultimately condoning ghettos, only imprisons himself. Get to attack represents all those who will fight against any government which would lead Austria into the muck of vindictive provincialism and international isolation. To react to the result of the elections with cynicism, indifference or internal emigration is the same as total political resignation. For this reason, we are making a call to resistance against populism and against any coalition with racism. Get to attack attacks any collaboration with the racism, sexism and nationalism of politics driven by envy and hatred. Get to attack now!
