Capitalism is war - militant feminist resistance against the enemy in our owm country
We women, inter, non-binary, trans and agender people (FINTA) have been taking to the streets for over 100 years now. These streets are the place where we fight for a society free from exploitation and gender-based oppression. Our struggle against the same old nonsense continues - like our fellow activists 100 years ago!
Salarial and labour devaluation, sexual assault, domestic violence, transphobia and feminicides are just a few examples of the impact that this patriarchal system has on us women and genderqueer people.
And this system has a name: capitalism.
The capitalist economic system cannot survive without exploitation. It depends on the devaluation of “female” work. Wages in jobs perceived as female, whether in care, education or cleaning, constantly suffer from wage cuts and hard-won labour rights are under attack. However, the majority of the work performed by FINTAs is not even wage-based. Housework, childcare and domestic care are expected to be done by us complimentarily and with pleasure.
This work is reproductive labour. It is essential to sustain a productive society. It is vital that capitalists extract the highest possible value from the population to remain globally competitive. Those seeking to only accumulate capital within their own national borders quickly fall into the scheme of imperialism. Switzerland, an exporting nation, is all too aware of how its capital can exploit every corner of the globe. Neutrality cannot exist under the rule of capital.
After all, the wars of this world also adhere to this cruel logic. It is not malicious, power-hungry individuals who control the tanks, aircrafts and drones, capital must intervene. The control of weapons lies in the hands of profit-driven motives. Capital must intervene when sales markets, resource exploitation and imperialist spheres of influence are obstructed or halted.
War is in the nature of capitalism.
Wars particularly affect us FINTA people. It is our hard-won achievements that are the first to be attacked under the forces of militarisation. It is us, the workers across the world, who must help finance the wars of the ruling classes. It is the wages of “female” social work, our social achievements that are attacked by budget cuts in order to make the military “combat-ready” again for the elite. FINTA individuals face particularly difficult challenges trying to escape bombs. Rape along escape routes or as a war tactic is not an isolated incident; it is the terrible reality of today's system.
Therefore, we are the ones who have the most to gain from opposing their imperialist wars.
Together, we join the global struggle against oppression, exploitation, and war.
Their wars are global, our resistance is international!
From Congo to Sudan, Venezuela, Iran, and Western Sahara: We stand in solidarity with our siblings in Argentina – Ni Una Menos!

Only when we are all free, can we be free.
Let's take to the streets!
The Hobknobs / Birdwatching @hirscheneck
"‘natural’. And what you will mean is: fitted to itself; essentially, albeit politely, uninterested in whether or not you’re looking. You might think of early rock ’n’ roll and you’ll be thinking of its energetic nonchalance and honest economy minus any sentimentality. Sonically and lyrically, the elements of the songs dovetail showing how they move but giving no temptation to take them apart. The duo Yaël Dekker and Arie van Vliet have long admired each other's music but their collaboration here is not a closed conversation -- at the same time colloquial and cerebral, we are invited in, if we can hang. As a natural thing is self-possessed, The Hobknobs deftly maneuver so that we stand with them, hearing and seeing with them, and find that each song is a place to be.” – Karina Gill (Cindy)" "You don’t need binoculars. Forget the wellies. Picture the sky and open your ears. They shriek, they sing. Their dialect may be crude but let them play and maybe you will find half a spectrum of culture critique, dilettante dilemmas and incessant bleating verses. Birdwatching are a four piece band from Basel, Switzerland with LoFi guitars, sometimes spoken word vocals and their heads looking to the clouds." Doors 20:00 / 10-15CHF
