A-Infos (en) Germany, Die Platform: Report: The platform at the System Change Camp in Erfurt (ca, de, it, pt, tr)[machine translation]

The System Change Camp took place in Erfurt just over a month ago. 
Hundreds of people from all over Germany and beyond came together for 
seven days on a meadow in the Thuringian capital to learn from each 
other, discuss and make plans. One of the main focuses of the camp this 
year was the fight against the rise of the extreme right, the need for 
which has become even more acute with the recent electoral successes of 
the AfD.

Another focus was the ongoing acute capitalist destruction of the 
environment. After all, the System Change Camp was originally launched 
by the climate justice movement. In addition to anti-fascism and 
ecology, other topics and overlaps with other questions were also 
addressed during the camp days.

This year, we were represented at the camp as a platform for the first 
time in an organized form. Members from three local groups traveled 
there to contribute to the content of the camp with a total of three of 
their own lectures and to attend the discussions at the camp. Our first 
lecture dealt with the question of how we analyze fascism historically 
and currently and what path we as revolutionary anarchists propose in 
the fight against it.

With the second event, we followed on from our ongoing solidarity 
campaign with Sudanese anarchists. We gave an insight into the history 
of Sudan, the revolution that swept away the old regime in 2019 and the 
war that has been drowning the successes of this revolution in blood 
since 2023.

In view of the rise of the extreme right, in view of wars and crises all 
over the world, we are convinced that a revolutionary alternative to the 
status quo is essential. But in order to fight for it, we must organize 
ourselves. The last lecture that we brought to the camp therefore 
introduced two anarchist organizational approaches - platformism and 
especifismo - which are of great importance to us as a platform. We held 
it together with our comrades from Perspektive Selbstverwaltung.

All three lectures were well to very well attended. We would like to 
thank everyone who attended for their interest, especially for the 
lively discussions and questions afterwards. We would also like to thank 
the entire System Change Camp for allowing us to be there and to put our 
ideas forward for discussion. A special thank you goes to the many 
people who made the camp possible in this form by taking on cooking, 
awareness and protection shifts. We look forward to hopefully being able 
to be there again next year.
