RIOTS IN UNGDOMSHUSET COPENHAGEN
Anarchist youth were evicted from a home which has been abandoned for a number of decades and used by youth on the street. This has been a youth center for many years for young leftists and punkers. It is Denmarks worst riot in over a decade. It has resulted in dozens of injuries and over 500 arrests. All this not only here, but all over the world, Capitalist's are trying to destroy every vestige of resistance in their blind march behind the US led West.
Sympathy protests were held in Germany, Norway, Sweden and Finland. In recent years this center has been the destination of people like Bjork and Nick Cave. It is interesting, if you read the reports in newspapers across the world it is like a regurgitation of the same information - like robots they voice the same facts without any explanation of what is happening on the ground.
I will repeat what I have said on other blogs in regard to this incident, it is neither isolated nor uncharacteristic for Western industrialized countries. The question is the same, do we allow dissent as a "free" country should, and what do we care more about - the people, or property and a small elite? All government is nothing but a franchise of an elite, some governments claim more social tolerance and programs, but beneath all of the facade is a intent to enrich the few - eventually this always emerges.
We found a similar situation in France recently, as one example. There they tried to disenfranchise the youth from their future. Having very liberal work laws, they tried to overturn them. Their excuse was the same as it is throughout the industrialized world - "we have to be competitive in the world market." However, the real intent is always the same - more money for the few elite, and the people can go to hell!
These elements, or the elite, are always trying to gain precedence, it is like an on and off button that can be pressed at any time. The governments are steeped in a connected framework of social science, if they think something works or shows promise in one country (to disenfranchise the people) they will try it in another country, sometimes it devolves to the full force of state apparatus - they trade notes. What the people need is a worldwide democratic revolutionary movement, to answer the global Capitalistic onslaught!
