What is Elitism(Hypocracy)?
To try to awnser to this question i will first describe a life experience.
Back in the begining. time:1988,place AMSTERDAM(squat Spartacus),People French mostly all millitants and without any monney, good organised and Solidaire(most of us worked then in a people's restaurant,also known as "volskeuken").
"Our" Squat was well known for the radical stand we had as well as the energy we gave to the Squat community in A'Dam(Amsterdam).Only we couldn't stand to be seen as "tourists"(the name some of the local Squatters gave us) or "Riot makers" (althought it was not wrong it was also not true).
This place was a place of respect,without rules a place where you could be yourself,and stand for your ideals without steping over others back,it was a place of Chaos as well of Respect,and did work(really good i should dare to say),But ,and there is always a "but": Klop Klop
somebody at the door.
I remember opening the door this day,before me,there was this guy a "junk"
He ask me "can i sleep here tonight?,i have nowhere to go,man"
My awnser was yes,but(no hard drugs here)and btw how do you know this adress?
He then told me(us)that he went to an other squat and they send him here telling him that the "French" squat was open for everybody ,i remember thinking then :"WTF? oh yeah! and they get money from the governement,are really critic other this society but are really acting petit bourgeois"...
To be continued...
P.S fell free to guess what hapened next,and what i meant with elitism.(and sorry for my bad english)
