if you look at the indian example- one that ideological passaficts constantly turn to for some kind of endorsement of their ideology, you actually see there zas huge violent resistance and struggle. ghandi is only the famous aspect of popular resistance, baghat sighn is forgotten for his contributionj to indian libration because it suits the western discourse of passivity in the face of violence. look at south africa the ANCs violent bombing campaign tied with worldwide boycott and democratic electioneering zas zhat won, it was not just the peaceful martin luther but also the panthers and malcom x who helped the struggle in america. I have no fixed ideology as to which is better i look to what is tactically most useful to achieve the ulmtimate aim of liberation, passivity will only lead to loss. to blame people like me for the governments decision to ban squatting is to accept state pacification, to except that individuals or people are to blame to the crimes of the state….

I think I see our difference. You seem to be wedded to a fixed ideology that is more important than the complex relationships between real human beings in the world. Your response to the divided aspects of modern life (personally, I think that the welfare system is a greater force for social decay than capitalism) is throw yourself into an ultra-divided mindset that precisely mirrors the oppression that you detest.

I don’t care about ideology, I don’t care who is “right”, I only care about positive change for everyone, regardless of their wealth or lack of it. We are all in this together, like it or not. Your brand of divisive ideology, with its rhetoric of violence and taking what other people have worked for, is good for one thing: creating fear. Fearful people do stupid, dangerous and selfish things. Squatting may have been criminalised because of selfish economic reasons, but voices like yours are the perfect poster child for whipping up powerful emotions against squatters. If squatting has a real future, it is in constructive cooperation with “mainstream” society, not in combat with it. For a real world example, compare the self-perpetuated plight of the Palestinians with the prosperity of the Sikhs in India (and around the world). Both nations were faced with great injustice and loss of territory at around the same time, at the hands of people of opposing religions. The Palestinian leaders committed themselves to destroying their “enemy” without mercy. The Sikh leaders committed themselves to putting down their grudges and making a better nation for everyone, even though many fiery young women and men were demanding violent resistance at the time. Think about that.

There is more than an us and them, there is war social conflict and rupture inside every interaction in a capitalist system, there is us and them even within ourselves, there is oppressor and oppressed at every level in every sphere of life. Some people are rich precisely BECAUSE others are poor, some people have many properties precisely BECAUSE others have none. It is not me who draws a dichotomy between us and them, this rift already exists, has been created by those who have, not those who have not. For me squatting is not some alternative lifestyle it is both necessity and a practical weapon in the war against private property…. I dont feel entitled to empathy, i am commenting on the fact that a battle line has been drawn between those who have so many properties they leave some unoccupied, and those who can not afford so much as a room of their own. Of course on some meta level ze ar(e all cousins, we have the capacity to work and live together in harmony, but ze must also be prepared to act, if we are n ot given what we need to survive, we must take it

Well, I’m a long term squatter and I disagree with most of this post. There is no “us” and “them”, that kind of thinking is totally toxic to the future of alternative lifestyles. People like Gluck aren’t “filth”: no human being is filth. Dehumanising anyone is plain lazy: switch off brain, call someone nasty names, don’t bother engaging with them or showing any of the empathy you feel so entitled to. It never leads to anything positive: on the contrary, the first step towards horrors like war and mass incarceration is always the derogatory identification of a group of human beings as essentially “other” and “bad”. We are all cousins, remember that. Gluck is simply a human animal, doing what he thinks is right for him and his family, according to the section of the society that he was raised in. At that core level, he is exactly like you. Why is it that only poor people get to be victims of their environment?

This sort of post is exactly what the Daily Mail needs to support its anti-anything-unusual agenda. Bravo.

A wonderfully written and articulate article. We need real action to target the dodgy private landlords, poor living standards and homeless people and households at risk.

Properties that have been abandoned should be released for opportunities to renovate and rebuild them as social housing.

There should be no need for squatters like yourself. Squatting while still dangerous may be OK for independent, single people like yourself but what about those who have families that are dependent on them? More temporary and permanent housing needs to be made available.
