Hallo !
Wir sind die Autonome Sanität aus verschiedenen Städten und verstehen
uns als Teil des linksradikalen Widerstandes. Wir arbeiten zusammen mit den legalteams/EA?s und anderen selbstorganisierten Antirepressionsgruppen.
Wir kümmern uns vor, während und nach Aktionen um verletzte GenossInnen.
Wir finden es existenziell wichtig, das die Linke sich um diejenigen
kümmert, die die physischen und psychischen Konsequenzen von Repression erfahren haben.
Saniarbeit in unserem Sinne soll unter anderem dazu beitragen, dass ihr, wenn ihr bei Aktionen verletzt worden seid, nicht auch noch
strafrechtlich verfolgt werdet. Oft haben wir erlebt, dass Verletzte an die Bullen ausgeliefert worden sind oder ihre Personalien von
Rettungsdiensten und Krankenhäusern bereitwillig an diese weitergeleitet wurden. Deshalb haben wir eine eigene Struktur aufgebaut. Saniarbeit ist für uns also in erster Linie Anti-Repressionsabeit und notwendige Selbsthilfe. Wir finden es auch wichtig, dass ihr euch Gedanken darüber macht, welche Konsequenzen euer Handeln für euch und andere haben kann.

Ever and ever again left politics tried to love resisting art. And resisting art tried to love left politics. Ever and ever again emancipatory politics didn’t understand subversive art. And subversive art didn’t understand emancipatory politics. Politics were tall, rawboned, earnest and planned the revolution. Art was small, swift, liked to laugh and danced the revolution.
Both wanted the same and still they never found to each other. For some days of wild dances, a handful of impassionate discussions and a few moments of resistance one could see them together on the stage of another world. Temporary loves, short passions and high ambitions. A few enthusiastic people, many observers and even more sceptics. And time and again the separation after a short splendid performance together.
Fun guerrilla, Pink&Silver, adbusting, Rebel Clown Army, invisible theatre. Artistic expression of political analyses. Rotzfreche Asphaltkultur (Cocky tarmac culture), agitprop, graffiti, radio ballet. Art becoming politics. The boundaries are blurred, the possibilities unlimited. But besides the performances far too often and for most of the time art is the shadow child of politics considering themselves as emancipatory and undogmatic. As a toothless and minor attachment to one’s own political everyday life created for the private enjoyment or as an ornament for political events without its own possibilities of articulation, art is bearing its existence in the darkness of the night. At the time when lights are off.
11. November Bewegung
In recent weeks we have heard much discussion of criticisms of the current mobilization against the 2007 G8 (e.g. those of the "22nd of October Collective" published on the Indymedia UK website). Though we have taken part in such discussions we do not consider the debate between centralized and decentralized action to be very fertile. However, it is indubitable that as a movement our strength lies in our ability to innovate, and that the current proposals for Heiligendamm offer nothing but a repetition of tactics which have over recent years become increasingly ineffective, as the forces of order learnt from their mistakes and our internal weaknesses began to show through. For us it is clear that if the Heiligendamm G8 counter-summit goes as planned - with its array of single-issue demos, its symbolic blockade which will block nothing, and its camp which can be encircled by the cops at the slightest pretext - it will go down in history as the self-managed burial of the anti-globalisation movement.
Eight years after the first big summit blockades, activists are still
mobilized against. On several different occasions this summer there were demonstrations and discussions about political approaches and the planning of actions. For example at the G8 summit in St. Petersburg, the Campinski near Heiligendamm, and the PGA conference in France.
St. Petersburg - and what`s next?
The meeting of the representatives of eight of the most powerful
industrial states this year in St. Petersburg was once again joined by protests. Despite the fact that the preparations had been constricted by the Russian authorities, some succesful actions still took place.
A spontanous pink and silver demonstration playing samba paraded through a major shopping street in Moskau, and in a separate action, the St. Petersburg hotel where some summit participants were staying was symbolically blockaded.
It showed that even under such difficult conditions protests are possible.

There are many different approximations which can be used to analyze the 'war against terrorism'. No matter from which angle we try to understand the developments that followed the 9-11, it is evident that lagers, torture, and extra-legal executions are a constitutive part of this war. Many of these things are taking place completely before the eyes of the public opinion. Our experience, however, is that although all of this is associated with qualitative changes within the entire social structure, the left, especially in Germany, does not take the dimension of this war seriously enough. A key word in all of this is 'lawlessness', referring to the fact that more and more people have absolutely no rights. We want to focus on this within the framework of the European and international discussion. Our starting point for doing so is that human rights are a principal question which can have no tactical answers.
The 'war on terror' is not a US war against the rest of the world. "Good old Europe" was never nothing more than a rhetorical bubble. How silently the trans-Atlantic cooperation was already functioning as Germany's ex-Foreign Minister Fischer purportedly showed himself to be 'not convinced' by Donald Rumsfeld's war propaganda, and US citizens were pouring out French Beaujolais wine into the gutters of Manhattan became evident at the latest when the secret prisoner transport flights were made known. There was never antagonism between the unilaterally acting superpower on the one hand, and a Europe which relies on the United Nations and civil conflict resolution on the other. Practically every European nation has occupation troops in Afghanistan or Iraq. For their part, German politicians frequently mention the military contribution of the German Army.
