The "Mehringhof" center in West Berlin, once a squatted
complex but now a collectively owned project, has been home to scores of
political projects and initiatives ranging from alternative and ecological
collectives, Turkish and Kurdish leftist organizations, and autonomist and
antifa groups for well over a decade. Despite a marked decline in the
strength of the extra-parliamentary left in Berlin over the past few years,
police repression against the (autonomist) left has never lessened. First
the wave of repression against the autonomist periodical
"Interim", then the elimination of the remnants of the squatters
movement, now the recent anti-terrorist police raids on the Mehringhof can
be seen as part of the "green-left" German government's
determination to cleanse the new capital city of all forms of fundamental
opposition. Following the murder in Vienna this September of alleged Red
Army Fraction (RAF) member Horst Ludwig Meyer and the arrest of Andrea
Klump, the German government's current wave of repression aimed at the
now-defunct Revolutionary Cells (RZ) is further evidence that the
"social democratic" states of the European Union are just as
determined as ever to elimate the revolutionary movement, despite the fact
that most of the militant armed left in Europe has disbanded itself and
given up the armed struggle. Updates on the Mehringhof raids and the
repression against alleged RZ members can be found (in German) at:
