Αθήνα Burns
Es ist faszinierend zuzuschauen wie sich die Menschen organisieren. Welche Rechte sie sich wieder aneignen, der Spielplatz und Park sind Ausdruck davon. Tatsächlich drängen sich Fragen auf, wie würden wir mit einer derartigen (überlebens-)Krise umgehen? Continue reading

Toward Utopia
Solidary living is something that must be learned, of course. Therein lies the current limit of our social movements: acting beyond the promise of monetary reward takes practice. Continue reading

Der Utopie entgegen
Solidarisches Handeln will jedoch gelernt sein. Darin liegt wohl auch die derzeitige Grenze der sozialen Bewegungen. Handeln abseits von monetärer Belohnung muss trainiert werden. Continue reading

Eyes With No Memory See Nothing
More than ever the answer to all our mounting grievances must be active solidarity. This may of course be met sooner rather than later with the inhuman resistance of state violence. Continue reading
MANIFESTO
The Antidote Writers Collective seeks to resist and counteract the poisons that course through the veins of our politics, our cultures, our movements, our relationships, ourselves.
We believe that a strong collective immune system is built through knowledge and understanding and that the struggle against division and repression requires building a new culture of discussion that goes beyond flat definitions, brittle ideologies, stubborn dogmas, idle preconceptions, and petty rivalries.
We will share knowledge with each other, aiming to build empathy, and in turn enable the emergence of genuine solidarity—one which does not demand uniformity across contexts, one which does not “include” you, but in which you include yourself.
In this spirit, we will provide a platform for a diverse set of voices, especially for those otherwise silenced or ignored in “mainstream” discussions. We want to hear from people engaged in radical struggles all over the world. We seek neither agreement nor conflict, but rather to identify issues at their roots, and to consider different radical approaches to their resolution. And though we at the Antidote Writers Collective have voices—and we will use them—we will not presume to speak for anybody.
On the contrary, we invite you to offer us new ways of thinking, new ways of seeing. It’s not about establishing a space for comfy ideological self-indulgence, but for questions, for a true diversity of voices and viewpoints, and for turning all of this into action.
One World. One Struggle.

“… in the midst of putative peace, you could, like me, be unfortunate enough to stumble on a silent war. The trouble is that once you see it, you can’t unsee it. And once you’ve seen it, keeping quiet, saying nothing, becomes as political an act as speaking out. There’s no innocence. Either way, you’re accountable.” – Arundhati Roy
