And as Britain moves into depression and austerity, the SSA and other Socialists will demand that the Scottish Parliament take the necessary powers to oppose the Bosses Europe. * r Europe Despite criticism from other anarchists, Class War celebrated violence against the ruling class and police, and built one of Britain's stronger anarchist federations.
Their newspaper inspired many other anarchist papers to adopt a more humorous and provocative approach. They published a book, Unfinished Business: The Politics of Class War, which was widely distributed.
The final edition of their newspaper is subtitled "an open letter to the revolutionary movement." The articles explain their reasons for folding the federation, and make many honest and sober self-criticisms. Class War is dissolving to clear the ground to try to build toward something new, but they don't say what.
The majority of the London Class War group disagreed with the decision to fold, and is continuing with the original project. * Source: Love & Rage Vol.8 #4, August-September 1997 Berlin squats evicted
The three major squats in East Berlin were evicted in the early hours of July 29. All had been squatted for seven years. Some 500 riot police took part in the evictions, including SEK special units with machine guns, dropped by helicopter onto the roofs of the houses.
According to the Hausermob squatters network, "these were just about the last squats left in Berlin. You can count the rest on one hand... People need to stop hiding in their shadows and complaining that there are no new perspectives. There won't be any unless we make them ourselves!" *
