proverb

Every manifestation of friendship is needful and encouraging in the situation of my son. Thanks to all of you that found the open heart for my Pavel. Your financial help is really important for him and for me, thanks a lot for all the presents I have been on an invalid welfare for a long time and after the divorce with my husband we lived with the "life minimum" but Pavel was modest and brave so we mastered it In time when Pavel got a job and moved to reputed more quiet Brno - because of danger of skins from Mlada Boleslav - we had a hope that he would start a normal life. But everything changed by his fatal and accidental visit to home. Thank you for all the support and ifyou want to write to me, here is my address: MuDr Lydie Kroupova' / ul. Bendu 509 / Benatky n.

ofkill-

ing and now he is accused of excessive defense. It means that it is better - but only for lower rate. According to topical information there will be a reconstruction of the situation. The first trial will take place on the beginning of next year. We will try to inform you about the concrete date. There were collected about 18,000 Czech drowns ($600) on benefit actions. This money is given to Pavel's mother for his support. The estimation ofthe lawyer is about 25,000 crowns ($900), but we think it will be much more It is good to keep collecting the money, be sure that we will use it for

The attackers left him laying on the ground until he was picked up by an ambulance that was called by a friend passing by. Right after the transport he was operated but without any effect. He died one week later. His friends wanted to make a candle march but it was forbidden by the police. The police are indifferent to this case. We well try to find more information about this sad news to spread it around. We think this is the only way to prevent this case from being kept silent. Don't be silent, don't be indiffercnt!

On Sunday July 7, over 350 activists

see.

walked straight up to the gates ol the Temelin nuclear power plant and simply lay down, marking the greatest public protest over a single environmental issue in the history of the Czech Republic. Plant security and the police were given a week's notice via a press release offered by Hnuti DUHA/Friends of the Earth Czech Republic, the principle organizers of the action. lf that didn't lay any doubts to rest, the patrol cars sent past the action camp could hardly have missed the growing number of people during the week, only 2 kilometers from the plant. I positioned myself on one of the three main gates, known as gate 4 or the "old main gate". An hour after our presence was clear, eighteen of the 60 smiling laces were titted and locked into large concrete tubes that stretched completely across the entrance. Besides making it a greater task for police to clear, the tubes made for a stronger sense ol unity. Once they were locked into place, the other participants went oul in to the surrounding area, pulling out massive blocks of concrete, old fencing poles, ladder-shaped steel, large rubber tires, and other abandoned pieces of garbage, and placed them in from of the human chain. At last year's blockade, a plant worker had nearly run over demonstrators with his car so the barricade was erected as a satety measure, not as an attempt at making entry more arduous. The rest of the tirst evening was relatively

quiet except for the wandering folk singer, Jaroslavem Hutkou, who played every gate regardless of how small the audience. At nightfall, soup, tea, and bread was doled out and those who were not locked into concrete tubes sat around the fire playing games and occasionally chatting about the possibility of police intervention. Soon a faint rain started drizzling down, umbrellas were put up and plastic sheets placed over the chained string of humans. I crawled into my sleeping bag next to a few other internationals near the wilting fire. Around 4:00 in the morning, we woke up to loud thumps that shook the asphalt beneath us. A small group of men were unloading large bar-

rels which were carefully filled with concrete in such a way that one could chain themselves on either side to the center of the drum. The tube lineup was then taken away and replaced by a chain of interlocked people and seemingly unshak-

able barrels. Then reporB form the other gates started to make their way arcund tho small community and

For the rest of the morning, plant constructmwenlon hannered only bythe inconvenience

The rain kept coming down with even regularity and the cold weather made for mixed feelings; it seemed that the longer we sat blockading

the gates and causing mischief, the stronger we grew despite the rain. But one could not help cursing the uncommonly cold and rainy July. Nevertheless, as sure as the fire kept bouncing back to the raindrops, the general feeling at gate 4 was to continue on.

That night over 40 or 50 ot us inhabited an old house in a village that had been abandoned after being bought out by the plant. The ground was dusty but we all seemed extremely grateful to have our own square meter of dry land to lay on. Tired, cold, and wet no one mentioned the possibility of arrest. The police found out about the dry sleeping grounds the next day and drove people out in to the rain without taking anyone

and out of the gate and action organizers began to consider strategies for sealing ofl the plant once

again. Eventually, they waited until the afternoon to send in the "guerilla group" which was trained during the action camp to be sent in for riskier situations and fast emergency support. With lighter more mobile concrete tubes, the small team ran from hiding, up to the gate and, lied down chained and circled below a stopped bus awaiting entry to the plant. The police instructed the driver not to move but he relieved the brakes iust long enough to nearly run over the head ol a screaming member of the team. The danger of injury along with police pressure forced the group away from the gate.

Organizers then decided to change tactics torm securing the gate to generally causing mischief on the grounds of the plant. lt started early that afternoon when reports trickled in that activists had stolen blueprints of the plant; leaders form

Hnuti DUHA/FoE agreed to return the plans to security, but only after photo copies had been made. At our gate, a reporter asked a Public Rela-

tions representative from Group 4, the outfit responsible for plant security, for his opinion on overall control. He declared that his men and women were fully competent to handle the situation and there had been no loss ol control at any time during the blockade. As these words lellfom his

lips, 4 activists came storming from grounds past the Group 4 officers atthe gate. Theiriovial screams were belore reaching the exit and the trom the PR representative to the back again to speechless gaping man. Other similar actions with or4 people were constantlydoing lions throughoi the day. A banner ol

People sat and read the papers, looking lor any mention ol the blockade while warming their hands and leet by the fire. Food came again like the other days with breakfast, lunch, and dinner. The lack of clean dishes and utensils went unnoticed by most. I watched as a Polish Earth First! activist cut open a plastic bottle, to make a soup bowl; and found himself a tree branch laying to the side which he whittled into the shape of a primitive spoon. Smiles were still easy to find, but the overall sense of accomplishment seemed to be shrinking in the rain. ln the afternoon I was invited to loin a clandestine action team comprised ol about 25 loose members of the "guerilla group". The majority ot the participants were Czech volunteers but England, Slovenija, lreland, the United States, and Austria were also represented. ln typical Hnuti

DUHfuFoE tashion, the action was carefully planned and even simulated before execution. The plan was for 3 crews ol disproportionate numbers to run into the plant and light fireworks trom the top of cooling towers; it was as one participant put it - every antinuclear activist's dream. The first team was made up ol 2 Czech ac' tivists who canied bags strapped to their backs filled with various flying rockets; they were to gain

access moments before everyone second crew were instructed to lollow close behind the former team and cre-

ate general lrustration lor security by running, dancing and singing about. This was to lead the way lor third team, who were to the particular cooling and stand on the stairuell

obstacles for the while the firework crew

ceeded uninterrupted. According to the main organizers, this action was

not only designed

boost the waning morale of the other participants, but strike at the very heart of one of the principle arguments against nuclear power: no plant can ever be completely secure. So I boarded the van along with the first and second crews and a dozen ladders for use in climbing the fence. To practice, we went only a lew meters form the action planning site, stopped next to an abandoned building, unloaded the ladders, threw them up to the roof of the building, and clamored to the top. Next we discussed any practical details that were noticed during the simulation and then crammed back into the van for the real thing. I sat in the far back of the van, right up against a couple ol damp giggling Czech activists and the rear window. Just as I started to comlortably watch the passing headlights, the van stopped, and the front and side sliding doors went flying open with a dramatic swiftness. Then our back door opened like a claw at the end of an oversized arm and one by one we removed the ladders. My partner and I grabbed the final ladder, ran down and then up and over the small ditch they had warned us about at the initial briefing. I threw the ladder up against a fence post, followed my partner over and lumped down onto plant soil. I immediately started logging in a random direction, only changing after hearing one of the guards' dogs barking aggressively. Once I gained a sense of clarity, I raced along with a number of other shadows trying to find the way to the stairs of the cooling tower. We rounded through two of the giant hour glassed shaped structures and then landed at the base of the staircase that zig zagged up into the night's sky. We climbed three or four cases upward before stopping to collect ourselves and to watch lor the plants reaction.

lnterestingly, we were allowed to sing, whistle, put on a complete lirework display, and laugh without interference. lnstead, the security officials promptly dispatched large vans to the towerand waited quietly atthe bottom. There was some confusion over whether we should try to escape or practice noncooperation during arrest; but everyone involved agreed to gently walk down the stairs hand-in-hand and surrender without protest. The guards shipped us to the main gate still controlled by the local police where we were then handed over and taken in on charges of trespass. At first, the feeling in the holding quarters, which doubled as some sort of conference room, was grave but soon people from the camp arrived bringing watermelon and tea for everyone. The seemed almost entertained by this quickly started talking laughing as if this was The Czechs were and released af-

Another told us that he border police had been called and we were going to be exiled from the Czech Republic for 5 years. ln return, we suggested that our Embassies be notified of our situation before any international police bureaus were

brought in on the matter. A bit later another

ficer said he would release us at 200 crowns per

person; we wasted'little time in taking the offer. From the time of security custody to release, we were detained for no longer than 3 hours. Everyone arrested simply went back to their respective gates. The next day was the third and final day ol the blockade. Afler hours of discussion it was decided that everyone free from the banels would march to gate 10 where the police were still managing traffic for the plant. Over 120 people walked down the road bordering the plant to the gate holding various banners, laughing, and talking amongst themselves. The marchers slowly eased up to the row of police while various cameras snapped and flashed, recording.the confrontation. A few Czechs started to sing a gentle bubbly song which made even an officer or two stretch their faces into short grins. Adorned in a Group 4 security hat, Paxus Calta, a leading antinuclear activist f rom the United States, gave a short speech discussing all the triumphs which had

been accomplished during the action. Then, the large mass silently broke into two equal groups walking in opposite directions. At about 50 meters from the police occupied gate, on either side; the marchers once again, simply sat down to protest any further construction of the plant. Trattic began to build almost immediately on one side and the police quickly dragged people from their sitting spots to idle vans which carted them away. At the police slation, hall the people in custody escaped either through a bathroom window which had been left ajar or by sitting down with others who had already been processed and were escorted out by a different officer. Weeks later, there were discussions by certain members of Parliament concerning a national

referendum which would let voters decide if Temelin should be continued. A political move such as this had never been considered before, despite years of lobbying efforts by various ecological groups. Questions concerning the corrupt bidding process (which eventually was won by Westinghouse ol the United States) for the construction of Temelin was finally reported by national media after several years. Today, organizers are already planning lor next year's blockade and'an activist culture, absent since the Velvet Revolution, has seemingly grown by leaps and bounds overnight. lf nothing else, the 350 or so participants have proven once again that there are no new tricks; nonviolent direct action can still act as a place of community and challenge.

This zine has been going for years, but for some reason I can't seem to get into it.

I am currently readlng Meltzer's fascinating autobF ography "l Couldn't Painr Golden Angles,,but that will have to wait for the next issue as I,m about out of timel Published irregularly since 1970, I have actually only ready maybe the last half dozen issues of what has become one of my favorite anarchist publications. With a politicrl stance of traditional working-class based anar-

chism, this mag zine keeps true to their politics supporting working class issues and non-hierarchical organizing worldwide. Aside from several tributes to Albert Meltzer, this issue also has articles on hunt sabbing, land reclamation

(dis)action, a British war criminal and member

of the Waffen SS during World War Two, chemical toxins, Mclibel defendants update, pornography and loads of news aflicles of prisoners,,

BOOK REVIEW Not For Rent: Conversations wlth Cre-

atlve Anarchlsts ln the U.K.

By StacyWakefield and Grrrt, Evil Twin Publica-

tions. With an explosive force a new and re-

vitalized underground activist movement has recently appeared in Britain, taking shape in a variety of appearances and involving numerous

social struggles. Undoubtedly, much of the urgency ofthese stnrggles has onlybeen reinforced with the passing of the Criminal Justice Act, which criminalized many resistance struggles, like squatting, and gave the police broad new powers to crush political dissent. This book is an extremely well put together documentary of this growing culture ofresistance and a look into the thoughts of the people taking part to make them happen. As a vehicle to best express the viewpoints and ideas behind the activism, the authors present this documentation as a series of 21 interviews. They are conducted based on participation in various campaigns, actions and groups with a icon-coded key denoting different political issues (i.e. squatting, road protest, ecology, etc.) andlor subcultures (punk, hip hop, rave etc.) associated with each interview. This seryes a graphic demonstration the overlapping and interconnections of issues and various resistance tultures in Britain at present. The interview format can be a little tiresome to read all in one sitting, but it is also an important way to hear the opinions and ideaS first hand from those involved and really get deep into the complex issues behind them. You may have to read this book in several sittings to fully absorb all of the information presented in the texts. I found this to be the best strategy to soak up as much of the information as possible without comprehension overload! A small sampling of what kinds of topics are covered would include interviews with people involved with SguaJ,l m agazine, "No M 1 1 " (anti road) campaign, Hackney Squatter's Center, 1 in 12 Club, to name only some. The interviews tend to concentrate on the issues, but also give some insight on how they affect people's personally, thus creating a more friendly and warm presentation. There is also an introductory opening and a summary of the Criminal Justice Act in the beginning pages of the book. These help explain the current resistance situation in Britain at the moment and the social and political climate in which these actions take place. As well, a more complete and useful picture is created with large sections of contact addresses for different organizations, resources, underground

zines, record labels, and activism.orientated bands.

Throughout this book there are dozens of photographs of the events actions and people involved with the subject of each of the interviews. The layouts are boldly constructed as well, giving a good sense of continuity throughout the book while incorporating a loc

of ar$vork produced by various groups and individuals, often giving the appearance of an

oversized magazine. Constructed in soft-cover, perfect bound format, excellent use cover stock texture and two color printing is consistently put to creative use throughout. Without a doubt this book would win a 'best looking book of the underground" award on top of the already high marks given on the content. Conspicuously absent from this book

are the inclusion of any of the traditional, work-

ing class-based anarchist groups. If this is an oversight, or an intentional move can only be

speculated. If it is the later, it can be understandable to avoid having the book become an ugly platform for infighting and attacks by var! ous factions.

All in all this book seryes as an excellent look into a huge cross of the very different yet related social struggles and the varying approaches taken by those involved.

I'd never thought I would live to see the day where things like this come into existence. A

thoroughly bizarre combinarion (in my eyes!) of anarchism and (authoritarian) communism, both coming from a punk and antifascist background. Circle A's, hammer and sickles, and enough traditional German communist artwork to make shivers go down my spine! The editors consider the

left to be in such a dire state that unity of all extreme left ideologies should be encouraged. Needless to say, I think cerrain things like Le-

ninist fascism should have no place on this earth,

no matter what the circumstances! While mv first reaction was to totally rip apan this publication, I can't help but notice some of the positive aspects in here, like the desire to build a politicized, radical and militant punk movement instead of making do with the drunken social club it seems to be deteriorating into these days. As for the contents, there's a very strong current of anti fascism in the various opinion pieces and articles, as well as an interview with Graue Zellen. With time, these folks could possibly approach the special status people Iike Seein Red earned themselves in my political universe, but before that happens, the)'will have to dump a hearty share

two people.'

seems

tion? Bobs: As a band? Yeah, in the late '80s there was a whole flurry of releases outBobs: We did an ep and an album in '87 an '88. Then we got really slow at doing stuff. We were concentrating on releasing other bands' stuff. Set: I think we did about 10 releases by other bands in between our own stuff, and kept putting ours back and back. Bobs: We also went through a period of about five years without a practice place. We used to practicetwoorthree times ayear. We usedto tour

in Europe every year and we would just do a couple of practices before that and if we were going to record a single we'd do a couple of practices before that. Set: That really slowed down writing new songs. Bob: Then we got ourselves a new practice space, where we can practice every week, about a year and a half ago. Since then we been a bit more active.

Is it diflicult in Scarborough to frnd a place? Bobs: Yeah, it's only a small town. Set: Also, since there's only two ofus, you've got to split the cost two ways instead of four or five ways. And some of the places were Pretty expensive to get we thought. Bobs: We used to hire out a recording studio, then it closed down three years ago. Also, we rnake a lot ofnoise, even though itsjust two ofus, and its not the type oftown where people expect you to make a lot of noise.

Is the a set reason why Active Minds has

always been just two people? Set: Its asmall town to startwith. We'veonlyhad a choice of maybe five or six people to be in the band. Mostof themwe hadalreadybeeninaband with anyway and found that we had to split up because of that. We wanted to expand on the lyrics. When our last band split up, there were five of us in it and these people had different disagreements about lyrics and all we could sing about was vivisection and anti-war. Bobs: And those people weren't really serious about what we were doing nearly as much as we were. We sat down one New Years Eve and thought 'this is going nowhere, we could probably do it with just two. We don't know anyone

be out around December or

January.

Bobs: We've just perfected it in the last couPle of

years. Set: It used to hit or miss at gigs depending on the guy who ran the PA knew what he was doing' We sometimes got a really good sound, but sometimes it was pretty crap. Bobs: We also used to play with only one amp, so sometimes the sound was a bit thin' If you were borrowing equipment and some bands depend on a bass sound and have a really shit guitar amp, so

yourselves?

Bobs: Yeah, same as usual. Then we've got two more sPlit eps. We haven't done anY sPlit eps in ten years.

Will those be split releases with other labels?

we would have a really shitty sound. But then a few years ago I saw another band EARTH CITIZENS, and what they did was wire up a bass amp and a guitar and together and it sounded really powerful. Because they didn't have a bass either. I thought it sounded really powerful, but I thought if I could get something that played through a bass amp at one time and guitar amp at another and you could play through one orboth orneither, then it would sound realiy good. So I went to a guy at a local music store who sells and repairs

equipment and asked 'Could you make me a pedal that does this?' And he said 'Oh, I don't think so. But I'll give it a try.' Andhe made it and it was just twenty dollars. So that's total D.I.Y'

pedal. Aoneof akindpedal. Sothenit'squite eaiy now andweusually getaquite decent sound. And it surprises people too when only two people can get a sort ofheavy sound. It makes more of an impact. So now that you guys are practicing more, do you plan on putting out a lot of new releases? Bobs: We're already halfway through recording an album and a single which should have coming out in about November. We just spent four days the studio and after all that we'll probably have to chuck it all away because all the equipment was breaking like desk and the tape machine were

really fucking up. Set: It was really weird because as we were actually mixing it, the tape was changing the was actually deteriolevels itself. It

say

Set: Some of them are. One is a

split with about five other labels.

Bobs: We're doing one with

sort

of project called UM-

BRELLATRIBE which is a sPlit between about half a dozen labels.

That flexi was released bY nine different labels? Bobs: Yeah, that was nine labels.

How did that come about? Bobs: I thought of the idea of

doing flexi because it would be really easy to mail everywhere and it would be quite cheaP to do if we did loads, so we did 10,000. We asked a load of labels who we knew if they would be interested Some peoPle had in doing expressed an interest in co-releasing ourstuff, but sometimes it was abit too expensive, but we thought this one we can do because it will be cheap. So we wrote to all these people and said it's onlY gonna fl25 for 500 copies.

it.

Set: We were surprised at good a response we got. And get it released in places like Brazil where it's really difficult to records

that's about right, we'd play it and there'd be drop outs that weren't

there before. Bobs: We were about to put it onto DAT, but

mailed in because theY haven't got much money over there. Be-

Set: Then you re gonna buy the ril'=fi€ri<--,t-

cause all of these labels actually released them, it meant that they would translate all of the lyrics and we could get our message across to other

people Does every record have a different cover? Set: No, they all inserts with all the lyric translations. Bobs: There were seven different languages in that. Set: Some people think that we are amazingly clever and can speak seven different languages,

but actually we're really dumb and can only speak one.

Bobs: Yeah, we get all of these letters from people who write in Spanish and German and must think what we can speak all of these languages. Some sort of multi-lingual punk band.

a long time ago' you guys were not doing CDs. Doyoustill feel that way?

D?.tt'

again and again. In England, the same in America, not necessarily punk stuff,

butmusic across the board- all the best sellers, are being re-released as best of hits of stuff already released before. And all the major record labels push these CDs, like best of hit collections of Queen and that sort of thing. So they don't actually have to get any new bands. So notjust punk, but music generally is being killed off because these labels don't want to spend any money on new bands or promote new bands, they

just say 'let's release a new Elvis collection. Bobs: I'm sure ybu've noticed, but there is a revival in old punk stuff from 1977 to'82 and there are all of these bands reforming that are absolutely irrelevant. Not even just the Sex Pistols. but bands like The Special Duties, One Way System, Anti-Pasti, all these bands. You know, we've moved on a long time sinbe then, you've got to comment on new things. And since they've reformed, all their stuff has been reissued for a new CD market- just repackaged. Set: CDs are just a dream come true for the music

industry.

j a.'l

same things I don't know ifits

What are your general bad feeling toward the CD? Set: It's a scam by the music industry to get everybody to buy the same records again. Bobs: How many CDs have you got in Extreme Noise that are actually just re-releases of stuff that people have already got and then say 'Oh, I'll have this on CD'. Have you ever seen a CD that's rotted away? Have you seen how they deteriorate? I was speaking to a guy at a hi-fi shop back home- and they hate CDs, these hipeople- and they said if people could see these, a CD that was about eight years old- it was just corroding inside. They make thesethings with a low life expectancy- ten or hfteen years maybe. If you think of the type of music that you listen to, I know that the stuff I listen to is fifteen years old anyway. If I haditonCD,Imaybewouldn't be able to play it. People say, 'oh, you canjust go and buy them again.' But from experience, you can'tjust go out and buy seven inches or album from'82 in shops. Really, its a thing that has a very short life expectancy. If you remember when they came out, people were saying that these things would last forever. You could bash them against the wall, you could shoot bullets at them, you could cover them with jam and everything, and they'll always play. But it's not true. They're actually quite flimsy sort of things, they're very expensive, they're not getting a long life expectancy because this is progress. All of these corporations expect that they are going to have a better medium in the next ten to fifteen years. Then they will release all of the same things again.

But also in a lot of ways it can be a dream come true for the D.I.Y. punks. You can release on a CD for about the cost of a seven inch record and have 72 minutes of music on it. Set: People say this, butnobody does it. It's great in theory, but I don't see many CDs around for three dollars with72 minutes on them.

Another problem is the recording costs. Bobs: Well that's it you see. But that's always gonna be there, but to actu' ally make the CD its possible. Bobs: It is not actually as cheap. I don't know about over here, but it's still actually a lot cheaPer

to do vinyl in England than CDs. Especially seven inch vinyl. With CDs, you've got a minimum print run which is actually quite higher, and ifyou think about places like Firiland, where a lot of the bands used to do one sided seven inches in print runs of 300, because that's all they could afford. Ifyou take that away and can only do print runs of a thousand on CD, unless you've got four times as much money as these bands had, you disappear- your irrelevant. The starting point to get your band heard, and get yotir band's release out is a lot higher. Set: New bands don't have like 70 minutes worth of stuff anyway. And who wants to hear 70 minutes of a brand new band anyway? It's too much of it all at once.

the disappointing aspect is that there aren't the Bullshit Detector compilation ideas.

I think

And rhcne/ Lrt fuddce{cVe drry

Recently there was that double LP Bullshit Detector Four which was $8. It had a pretty nice package, so you could see why it would cost so much. But the same thing could have been done on CD with a $3 cover price be' cause nobody got any royalties, they made it to be royalty free. Set: It could have been done on vinyl a lot cheaper. We were involved with that. Those covers we increclibly expensive- they nearly us much as the rccords themselves. lti there had been a cheap

cover,itcould

have been quite

abit

cheaper. Bobs: That's thc otherthing. CRASS, there' $ no doubt about it. would neverhavc existed in this day and age. The thing with CRASS' was that when you wcnt into a record store. their records stood out as being difterent because of the way they we packaged. Everything about them was more importanl than the music. When you go

into a storc thst just sells CDs. it's the same with Bxtrcme Noise aod these other son of punk shops we've been to in America- everything Iooksthe same. You don't really get the chance to look dift-erent, to Put yourself across in a different sort of way. Also, there's another Problem. The problem with CDs is the same as what's wrong with MTV. They' ve sort of created two differenl scenes. If you rclcasc D.l.Y. stuffon CD. then your telling people i nto D.l. Y. stuff who alrcady have vinyl record pliryers, thatthey'vegot tobuy

yourstuff. And that's unnecessary. And yef at thg same time, all the new kids, or the yomgkids willjust buy CD players. In some countries, they only release stuff on CD. New ,sort of sccles like some new technology in order to play

Poland where they've got this tjnancial frcedom after CDs were made, so everyooc ju$ hag CD players. But in Spain there areno CDs atall, and it just splits the world up. There are sonre places where people don't know how to play vinyl' and some places where they don't know low to play CDs. Suddenly, the world has betnmc trag'

mented- the whole scene has become fragmented

between certain countries where this technology has caught on and where it hasn't. And also. r*ktween certain age groups rvhere it's taken off antl where it hasn't. Forthose people like us who are older and have a lot of old records on vinylwe're supposed to then buy a load ofnew technology that some company has forccd on us just tro be able to play this stuff. To me it's just nol wor0l it'

ln a lotof ways,jurt to rtach to new people you lreve to get to their technolo6r. Like around bere. it's a lot cheaper and easier togeta CD player than a turn&rble. bobs: That's righr and that is a proble,m. Having said that and rve stafled moving on to do CDsi sc would just accelerate the problem becauseitwould just get more and more and more. Theotherthing about CDs and CD players- I thittk they have a shon life cxpectamy because they are an advaoced tectmological advancement that companies are going to ditcb. There's going to be recordable digiral formats very soon' They're hcar now really. And onL'e these happcn, nmne will give two fucks really about an ordinary CD player. Noone's gonna givc a shrt. You can buy thtm no*. Bobs: You can buy them now, bur they're very expensive. Once thry become cheap- these minidisc systems, or even a perfected DAT system which will be evod bener for most people because you can play them on walkmans and they woo't skip around and therc von't be any problems. Set: Every twenty years they are gonna want to invent a new technology so you can buy the sdne thing again. If you draw the line with vinyl and if CDs are never acceptable, then your not going to find mini-discs acceptable, or whatever the fuck they want to invent next. Bobs: If something goes wrong with your CD player, who can fix it? If something goes wrong with the laser systern, who in this city knows anyhing about laser technology? But I know

probably 100 people in our town who can make

you a tumtable out of bits of old shit they've found oo the scrap heap. Because the technology is l'ery simple- it's just a thing that goes around. It's got nothing to do with lasers. If there was something wrong with your CD player and you rook it to a hi-fi shop to get it mended' all thcy lf there was anything rvould do is clcan actually wrong with it, you'd have to send it out to the corporation. Now if tte corporations in 20 years time decide thatthisis no longer a viable thing, they won't-be fixing thero. But people will always be fixingyourturu table,even if they just put a rubber band on it.

it.

The problem with the technology-and especially with CD players, is that th market is getting so flooded with them that the whole ergument is becoming irrelevant. The re' placement cost for th@ perts is becoming so

Bobs: But if you can imagine a car that is_ thirty years old, and if you try to End an old junk part. they'll say "Noone bas every made any of these' you'll never find it. You might as well just buy a new one." Wdl I don't want the new one. It's a

different rype of thing. If you can imagine in thirty years time, tlrere e'on't be lhcsFCD playcrs, and there won't be the parts, and therewon't really be thc peoplc ttho want and give a shit about doing thcrn. They'll say "Wby don't you just buy a mini.disc system? Everyooe is using mini-discs these days. Throw these old things away, All tbse CDs are getling rotten anyway'

Set: Plus on top of it, it's an En$ish perspeclive and the same for some other countries. but I think they are a lot cheaper here in America. I haven't really looked at them, I haven't got a CD player. But in England, they're like $25 for a CD in shop' And it's not just the D.I.Y. punks who are saying that this is something fishy. Actually the Labor Party, which is the equivalent of your Democrat Party, have tried to put on investigations saying it's a sort of scam. If someone like Bill Clinton said "I think CDs are a total scam", you'd think "Fucking hell, if someone as dumb as that thinks that, you don't have to be very D.I.Y' to know'"

(conversation goes into long discussions about the financial pros and cons regarding CDs.") Set: I think it is a bit irrelevant to say it can be done so cheaply if it isn't actually being done. You can press vinyl for very cheap' We did our album for 12.50, and we still are'

ACTTV€ N-(tNDS

Bobs: And nooneelseeverhas. I rememberat the

time, people were really pissed off when we released our album eight or nine years ago because it was so cheap. SORETHROAT came up to us and said "We're gonna release an album for f2.00, yours itf2.50it's arip off." Likeit's some sort of war. Wejust said "Great, we'll have some, we'll buy some." They said "We've got a deal with Earache, were we've got Dig of Earache to sign on the dotted line to say that our album will be no more than f 2.00." But of course it wasn't.

The proof of all this shit it that when it actually happened. People say "ACTIVE MINDS, you can release your stuff CD for like 49 pence." Why don't you release a CD for 49 pence and leave us

to do what we want to do. We're happy the way we are. If you can release a CD for $3.00, then release it for$3.00. Just don't tell us to release it for $3.00. We'll do what we want to do- and we are by selling our stuff through vinyl. I don't think we'd be selling anymore if we did it on CD.

It's

we got old.

And now you are touring over here. What brought that on? Set: We like to go to new places, and we just kept going back to Europe all the time. Bobs: For almost l0 years. Set: When we first started, we were like- I know what we'll do, we'll go to Europe for the first year, then on the second year we'11 tour America, and on the third year we'll tour Japan. But what we actually did was tour Europe for the first ten years and never got to go anywhere else. Bobs: We figured that when we had a label over here help us put a record out and people knew us,

we'd come over. The last ep was gonna be released in America ("Dis Is Getting Pathetic") on Unite And Fight Records. But about a week before it was supposed to be pressed, he pulled out and stopped the label. So itjust dawned on us that if we didn't do it, then we were never gonna

do it. Set: It's the same with lots of things. If you wait until the ideal time, the ideal time never happens. You just have to press on and do it. Bobs; No one knows us here, but it will probably always be that way until we get over.

Last night, you were talking about how the D.I.Y. scene was older people and there aren't ma4y younger people involved. What do you think can be done to bring in new people? Set: It needs a fresh injection or something. That's easy to say from someone who's olderand hasn't got the fresh injection to do it. Just like when you're young at school, at when you first got into all this stuff, you said "Wow, this stuff is

distributed

through the mail and at gigs. The only people that can get into it are people who know that already. If you're likepunk sounds good, I'veheard a few things on the radio, or seen Suburbia or something like that, you haven't got access to mail-order because you don't know the address. And you don't know where the gigs are happening because you haven't got the fanzines through the mailorder. So you need some sort of open access like a

great!" and you played it for your friends. But nowadays I think that if someone doesn't like punk, that's up to them. I'm not going to hassle

it. Because I haven't got that enthusiasm about it in a naive sort of way. If someone want s to listen to the music, that's fine by me. Bobs: It's very difficult because young people now, because of CDs, technology and the way that society is going, in England record shops are almost finished. Notjust selling vinyl, but selling music, like with shopping malls and such, because they've become entertainment complexes for young people. You go in and there's CDs on sale and computergames. Computergames have almost taken over as the new thing that kids are into. They'renotreally into communicating with each other very much. They would ratherjust sit around and play with computers all of the time. I don't know how it can be changed. The D.I.Y. scene is a lot older, and maybe it's because we are sticking with the technology that everyone in the D.I.Y. scenq already has. It almost becomes a bi t cliquey. Hereyou've gotExtremeNoiseRecordswhich is punk record shop, we don't really have those in England and I guess there isn't many here. But the D.I.Y. scene in England has got to the stage where it either wasn' t dislributed through shops at all, or people decided that they didn't want it distributed in shops because they wanted it to remainreallyunderground. We've neverhad that opinion. We've always tried to put our stuff in shops if we can. And if people say "Why do you deal with these sort ofshops. It's big business and all." When I was at school, like 15 or 16, I heard CRASS and fhey changed my life and you probably did too. The reason that I heard them was because I went into an ordinary record shop when I was a young kid and there wasn't really a D.I.Y. scene. You didn't know anything about these things, they werejust there and you bought someone to get into

it because it was that cheap.

YOIJ CA}ICLOSE YOUR EYES

Ideally, we should aim to break away from shops, but to if you get to that pointBobs: The scene will just be all by itself. There came a point a few years ago where because we were releasing records cheap, no distributor would

stock

any. The distributor that we did have,

which was Southem Studios, who originally did all the CRASS stuff, said- you don't do your stuff on CD, you do your stuff with price limits. Now CRASS are involved with Southem Studios and CRASS are now releasing CDs and took all the prices off their stuff. We said- yeah, but we don' t give a shit! They meant a lot to me at one time, but this is us now.' They said- oh, we're not interested then. And it sort of died down. For a few years, we didn't have our stuffdistributed in shops. Now we've got a place that will take some. We're not really happy about what we do. We don't have any illusions about the people we're dealing with. They're just business people. We know what we' re dealing with, but we sell throttgh them because we want new people to get involved. The only other way new kids can hear it is if they know someone. That doesn't always happen if your in a small town with no D.I.Y. scene.

Did you get any angry responses to the 'Dis is Getting Pathetic'7"? Any death threats from Sweden? Bobs: We haven't actually. Set: We've heard that a few people were a bit upset about it. We've had a few people who said they didn't want to deal with us, or trade for it. Bobs: We are used to getting threats and angry responses. Back when we did the album, a long time ago now, we said all this stuff aboutPeaceville Records and Earache Records, and you wouldn't believe the attitudes we got from some people. All these people now will deny that they ever gave a toss then because Peaceville have turned into such abunch of fuckingjokers. We saw this

END THE INEFFECTUAL AND Jason Justice

The search for a cure to AIDS has long exceeded the predicted years of research decided by scientists since its known outbreak. AIDS was thought to be a syndrome which could be countered in its virus stage by a vaccine. The AIDS vaccine was planned to be developed within two years of research lollowing its discovery. Yet, now, well over a decade later, the vaccine which was supposed to emerge is nowhere near discovery and AIDS continues to spread around the world. The slow progress in the scientific battle against AIDS may be the result of various problems within the community; many people believe that the use of monkeys forAlDS research (the largest form of AIDS research) is not only inconclusive, but it is regressive as well. lt is not just the use of monkeys, however, which many considered regressive, it is also the search for a vaccine itself. lt is questionable, in fact, whether or not the search for a vaccine and the subjects of study are useful at all. AIDS is well known to be the result Of HIV (Human lmmunodeficiency Virus). But HIV comes in more than one form and has different eftects on people and animals which it infects. The two dilferent forms in which HIV can attack humans are HIV-1 and HIV-2. HIV-I is the deadly virus which can become full blown AIDS and kill people. HIV2 is a less serious form of the virus and usually causes lingering and sometimes serious infections, but seldom causes death. HIV-1 is the virus which is more deadly and therefore demands a prompt cure, however, it is also this form of HIV

keys, even chimpanzees, are solid and safe mod-

els for finding cures to human illnesses. ll the results of testing monkeys for SIV and HIV-2 are inconclusive, then perhaps research using primates that involves HIV-1 and vaccinations to AIDS is also questionable. HIV-1, the more dangerous form of HlV, continues to batlle vivisectionists in monkey research. Researchers have been testing the HIV-1 virus in various monkeys looking for a vaccine for years. Rhesus macaques, crab-eating macaques, squirrel monkeys, stumptails and many others have been infected time and time again, with the intent of forcing these monkeys to come down with AIDS so that researchers could use their monkey modqls in place of human AIDS Datients. The results.

fected by a different disease which is similar to HIV-2. Avirus known as SIV (Simian lmmunodeficiency Virus) minors in monkeys almost exactly HIV-2 in humans. The afiects are also similar lingering sickness and infections but seldom death. Examined carefully, resemblance between SIV and HIV-2 are almost identical, they are close to 90% the same. However, the viruses are not interchangeable between humans and monkeys. People infected with SIV are literally not affected. Humans can carry SlV, but there are no damaging affects to the immune system and cause no sickness. The same is true for the reverse situation, monkeys can carry the human HIV-2 virus but are not atlected by it. This is true in rhesus macaque monkeys, as well as crab-eating monkeys, as well as squirrel monkeys as well as almost all monkeys tested in these experiments. Only pigtail macaques have really been affected by HIV-2 dying in some cases, but even they are only afiected sometimes and have proven poor subjects Of study for HlV. Even chimpanzees, the closest primate to human beings, are not altected by HIV-2. Yet these monkeys can all be infected with SlV. The fact that HIV-2 and SIV are almost identical viruses, yet aftect humans and monkeys differently, begs the question of whether or not mon-

against, regardless of the research. Vaccinations in general have been questioned by doctors, researchers, parents and activists. lt has been argued that vaccinations are not a cure, and, in fact, don't even work to prevent various illnesses, but instead do the opposite ol which they are supposed to do; they may actually promote the disease which they are supposed to prevent

and, in fact they have caused other illnesses in humans which are a direct result of vaccinations. It is has even been argued that AIDS itself was introduced to people through vaccines which carried some form of HlV. But whether or not these arguments are valid or accurate, the issue of a vaccine lor AIDS is quite different, because AIDS works quite differently from other illnesses which vaccines are supposed to prevent.

A vaccination works, at least theoretically, by inkoducing some form of a virus into the immune system. The immune system is then supposed to be able build an immunity to the virus and be able to recognize it if it encounters it in the future. Most single viruses are essentially the same as one another. Polio or pertusses, for example, should always appear basically the same when it infects the immune system. A microscope should always be able to detect one of these viruses, and an

immune system should be able to recognize it, because these viruses don't change dramatically.

They basically copy themselves in infectious growth. Polio in the U.S. in a baby girl should appear roughly the same as it would it in a grown

which continues to make little or no progress through animal research on monkeys. Monkeys which are used for vivisection are af-

be, in fact, that AIDS can never be vaccinated

however, have been less telling than even the results found with research involving HIV-2 and SlV. After continuing to infect monkey after monkey,

researchers got no harmful response from their

subiects. lnfecting monkeys with HIV-1, in fact, did nothing to the monkeys. They just ignored it HIV-1 has not sickened, has not caused immune deficiencies, has not caused any kind of problems with monkeys. Monkeys can carry HIV-1 , but they cannot gets AIDS and they are not affected by it. Using chimpanzees has not been any more helpful. When HIV-1 is in.jected into the blood stream of chimpanzees the immune system actually does react but it only detects the virus without any need for alarm. The immune system in chimps is not in any way harmed. Nor do chimps become sick or even slightly ill by HIV-1. lt was thought that maybe some chimpanzees needed more time to be infected by HIV-1 . But today there are chimpanzees which have been living lor over 10 years with HIV-1 ; they continue to be unaffected.

The fact that Monkeys in AIDS research have proven to be unatfected by the virus which causes AIDS in humans means that the use of monkeys for finding an AIDS vaccine is probably poor scientific practice. But even if monkeys were affected by HIV-1 or HIV-2 it is still questionable whether or not a vaccination is possible for AIDS. lt may

man in China. Therefore if vaccines do what they're supposed to, the immune system should always recognize a virus which it has been inoculated against. With HIV-1, however, the virus is quite different and vaccines, whether or not they work, cannot prevent AIDS. AIDS vaccines are problematic for two main reasons. The first is that AIDS works directly to destroy the immune system which vaccines rely on to build a stronger immunity. Unlike most viruses, where immune systems may be able to build a resistance to their intrusion, with HIV the issue is different. HIV-1 works to undermine the immune system so that AIDS can destroy it. Human immunity cannot resist HIV-1. By injecting some form of HIV-1 into the human blood stream, the immune system cannot build the resistance required for any form of vaccine to work, the im-

mune systern can only be conquered by HIV-1

An AIDS inoculation would only further this conquest, by further attacking the immune system. The second reason why Al DS cannot be countered by a vaccine is perhaps a more important reason. HIV-1 does not repeat identical patterns in people the way Polio and other illnesses do. HIV-1 is a constantly evolving and changing virus. lt never attacks or evolves in exactly the same way. An HIV-1 positive person carries avirus which will appear difterently as it grows, and which can-

not be recognized identically in any other HIV-1 positive person. This is problematic because the

HUTA]I FREEDOT Al{D AI{IHAL RIGHTS...

CRT]EL ANIMAL AIDS RESEARCH immune system can only build a resistance to a virus if it can recognize the virus and build a stronger immunity to it. lf a vaccination where given for AIDS today (assuming it were safe and possible) and the patient became infected with HIV-1 tomorrow, the immune system could not detect the new virus because it is constantly evolving. Therefore, even il an inoculation were safely possible, there is no way that it could recognize the ever changing face ol HIV-|. Researchers are well aware of these problems in creating a vaccine and in using monkeys that are not aflected by HlV. However, there seems to be no limit to the optimism ol science today. The research continues, using the same monkeys and trying to find the same cure lorAlDS. ln considering the costs of this form of AIDS research many tax payers are growing less patient and less optimistic. Not surprisingly, since it is working and tax paying people, both HIV positive and not, that are footing the bill of this research, and not the researchers themselves, many people are becoming discontent with the lack of progress and the channeling of money for these prolects.

Over $10,000,000 ot U.S. tax paying money is granted to AIDS research on primates for the purpose of finding a vaccine annually. The revenue just continues to flow. But working people in the U.S. may want their tax dollars spent more wisely. There are few people who don't want a cure for AIDS. However, there is yet to be a medically

preventive and permanent cure for cancer, or herpes, or leprosy, or any disease for that matter. ln fact, while there may be some medicines which

help to counter the effects of illnesses, there has never been a permanent and medically preventive cure found for any disease in 'history. Yes, cancer may be removed, yes cancer may be removed, yes anti-biotics may help fight various sicknesses, but these aren't preventive or permanent cures. These diseases still prevail and there are no solid, medical methods that can permanently abate or prevent them. So it is not surprising that a cure for AIDS has yet to be found. The problem, however, with AIDS is that the researchers

are barking up the wrong tree; their research is

inconclusive and wasteful and the results which are desired are impossible through the current

forms ol study. AIDS research on monkeys and other animals has been proven faulty. This is largely due to the reality that most research on animals cannot be etfectively extrapolated to human beings. We are difierent life torms, and we react differently to different viruses and medicines, and the concept of vivisection, especially in lhe case olAlDS research continue to ; more and more

The vaccine desired, as explained, is unfeasible. The money spent on AIDS research for vivisection on monkeys and on vaccine research should be redirected into a more appropriate direction. The millions of tax payer dollars spent on monkey vivisection and vaccine research should be redirected into more progressive forms of research.

AIDS research must continue; we should never give up hope for a cure, but it is not acceptable to continue a form of research which is wasteful of money, animals, science and the victims of HIV who continue to wait for a cure. Those persons

current sicknesses today would greatly diminish or disappear if prevention was lunded instead of vivisection. Prevention would greatly reduce cancer, it would almost end colon cancer as well as strokes and heart disease. Furthermore, prevention could almost halt the spread of HIV today; this may be the only cure available, and is certainly more promising than regressive research on monkeys and a pointless search lor a vaccine. Prevention, education, better care for AIDS patients and progressive research is something we must demand.

Seein'Red are an insPiringly dedicated political hardcore band from the Netherlands who have never failed to surprize the scene with a constant llow of new energy and new ideas. With a history that goes back more than a decade, Seein Bed finally made their lirst US tour and which included a stop in llinneapolis. Being a bit neruous in the company of such a 'legendary'band I managed to Piece together the following interview... PE: Well, I guess we should lust start with the usual boring introductions... Olav: l'm Olav, l'm 33 years old and PlaY drums. Jos: My name is Jos, l'm 32 years, and I play bass. Paul: l'm Paul, l'm 35 years old, and I sing and play guitar. PE: That's tunny that you mentioned your ages, since some people from Extreme Noise wanted me to ask, but I didn't think it would be appropriate! (laughter)

Lirm, Etc... PE: Your former band, Ldrm, has received some sort of legendary status, playing this relentlessly fast and brutal style during the mid-80's. Did the popularity of LArm help you when you moved onto Seein' Red, or did it hamper you with preconceived ideas about the style of music you should play? Jos: We were actually hampered by it because people were expecting one kind of music, which is the main reason why we changed the name, because we didn't want to do that stuff at that point. When we were in England, and people came to see us play, and people were saying, "This is totally ditlerent. We don't like it. You're shit,' because we didn't sound like LArm. When Seein' Red started out, we were more melodic. ln the beginning, it would say "exLArm" on all of the flyers, but we haven't seen that in a long time, until we came over here and saw some flyers, but not in Europe anymore. Has it really helped us? No I don't think so. PE: Was there any time in between LArm and Seein' Red, or did it go from being one and then the other? Paul: Maybe there was two or three months in between. We lust came to a point where we were pretty much tired of the whole situation. Not of the music, but at that momenl the audience that came to our shows, during the crossover period, was metal and there was lots

of violence and shit like this. Jos: The main reason was also that everyone was constantly shouting, "Play laster! Play faster!" At the end ot LArm we started to be treated sometimes like we were some kind of rock stars. Like people would almost carry you into the venue. PE: The music you played tonight was much laster than say the stuff on the early Seein' Red records... Paul: Yeah, yeah... I would say something like a yeai ago, the politics in our lyrics became more angry again. lf you compared our lyrics to the earlier stuff when we started Seein' Red, they are much more angry now. I think that fast music or brutal music lits more to the angry way we feel, which is why we started to play faster again. There is some times when we can't control the angry feeling. There is a triend of ours who always says, 'You play much to fast," but we don't notice ourselves. When we go up on stage, most ol the songs are even faster than the records, which I think is a question of adrenaline. PE: A dumb record question... The lirst Seein' Red record I saw was a split 7" with Sanctions we distributed through A.Y.F. Was this the first release as Seein' Red? Paul: No, there is a T" before that. PE: What was that called? Jos: Well, when we lust started out, we wanted to make every record to iust be Seein' Red without anything else, but people started getting mixed up after the second 7'. Then after that there was a 12"... PE: The "Workspeil" 12"? Jos: No, there was another one belore that also called "Seein' Red" Paul: After the third record, the one with the brown cover, people started getting really confused, especially the metallers. Like, "ls that a new record or an old one?" Atter that we started giving them names. So the first three records are all called 'Seein' Red", which is two 7"s and an LP. Jos: After that was the split ep, then the "lt takes Three to Fuck Shit Up" ep, "Workspeil" 12", "More ot the Same" ep, Trefwoord Punk" ep, the split ep with Stack, and now the "Marinus" ep on Ebullition and bunches ot songs on compilations.

Anarchy, llarxism & Punk Bock PE: On the "lt Takes Three..." ep, there is a statement which reads, "lf you are opposed to the current system and want to make change there's no point in being anything but a Maxist." Would you say that reflects the philosophy of

the band? Paul: Yeah.... um...

Jos: Yeah sure, you bet! Olav: I think there are basically three kinds of

very personal teelings about being communist in practice, not in just.thooql. Jhis is lar more important for us.l Like all of the ottciiiha'ff69*

that side of things, not necessarily the orthodox Communist Party. A lot of

systems. There is capitalism, fascism and socialism. lf we have to choose between the three of them, I would have lo say we are opposed to iapitalism and also against fascism, which makes me think I am a socialist. PE: Would you, or have you, ever worked with any of the existing socialist parties? Olav: For a short while, Paul and me belonged to Communist Party... Paul: lt was called the New Communist Party, but after a few months we recognized there was nothing new about

it.

lt was the same old

autocratic system and people. So I would say we are not in favor of a party at all. We would much rather get in touch with people who are really socialist. People are always attacking us about it, always shouting, "Oh, you are not a socialist or a Maxist if you are not in the Communist Party,' but I don't there is any party we could lit into. There is just our ideas and nothing we could iust join at this point. We have

I think both sides will come back like 70 or EgJears3goJ l!in!_!ng_ tendencies will come back like in the 30's where people used eachother for scapegoats.... PE: When there was a real competition of different ideologies... Paul: Yeah, I think a good thing that came out of the fall of the Stalinist countries is that people now can't use this argument... like when we started talking about our ideas on communism, there was always this, nvhat about Russia?'or, "What about the DDR?' like some kind of a scapegoat. lt just proves those countries weren't really socialist or communist or whatever. There were just using that as a name. PE: Has your communist ideals caused a lot of friction within the punk scene? Paul: Not in Holland, because in Holland you don't have these sections fighting eachother. ln 1988 there was band called Collective who, although their ideas were really red communist, they also had these really anarchist songs as well. There was always cooperation. Even now when we play with a lot of bands, like Anarcrust, things go really well. Of course there are some ideological differences, but there is also so much common ground. I think we must put some of these ideological ditferences aside. I mean, like for myself, l'm pretty much into getting organized into some kind ol organization, but not necessarily a party. I know a lot of anarchist are opposed to this because they don't want to be involved with any kind of party, because they are afraid that you will get some kind of authorig or hierarchy. I have thought a lot about it and I think you can do it in a real

democratic way, like with the leadership rotating. I think the shitty thing about it, well, like we have been into the anarchist movement tor quite a long while also, and we have friends involved in ditferent anarchist collectives, is that what you see if there isn't any kind of organization, people will leave. Olav: To put it really blunt, mankind needs some form of leader. You see it everywhere. ll you let people go, you create only chaos, which isn't really what we need. So theres the challenge to find a lorm of leadership, that all people can have an input in, that would create kind of like democracy to the max. PE: Like voting on people to make decisions? Paul: Well, not necessarily decisions, but people to make proposals, like, "We can do this or we can do that...." That's the way it works. Olav: Just as I am opposed to these communist parties, I still did find like when we were involved, that there were these people that were 50 years old and still being active. Although they've always followed this Stalinist line, and l'm really opposed to that, I still think those people really wanted to change things, although they've thought along the wrong line, but are still committed. I had a lot of respect lor those people in their age and at this time who still go to demonstrations and still fight. I think that is because there is some kind of organization to it. I think that the anarchist, well, a lot of my old friends got disappointed and left the scene and are not anarchists anymore. That really bothers me... and we still exist. All of these anarchist bands in the 80's that started the same time as we did have all disappeared. Like in England, ten years ago, there was this really big movement that started atter Crass. Now everyone has disappeared and there is no cooperation. And there are all of these fractions; anarchist over here, anarcho-socialist over there and they all go together to form a blockade or whalever, but they don't make a front. The movement is now really divided over

there. There was once a really big movement,

mean Crass sold over 100,000 records... Jos: Yeah, but I don't think you could say there really was a big movement, because Crass was this big "peace punk" thing that was really hip at the time, but l'm not sure if you could say the movement was really big. Sure, they had a lot of followers across the country and around the globe I guess... PE: For a while, I guess you would have to say Crass inspired a lot more people to participate that normally would have, but I don't think you can find a band that can do that today... Paul: Yeah, the effects it had then were bigger than now. Like everywhere it is dying. The whole political thing is moving out of punk rock. ln Europe there are not that many political bands left, or at least bands that have a really political statement.

cars instead of the problems of society...'' I thinkthat's a political statement. As well, if you sign to a major labels, that is a political statement you are saying you are iust a part of the silent majority. You can pretend not to have political ideas, but you are always making statements about society. Jos: Also, il you want to distinguish yourself from society, that can be political. Certain things that you don't even talk about, like the way you dress, the ideas you have, the things you do and don't do, and that way punk is political as hell. I don't think the punk movement will ever really be able to change the world, but surely it can influence a lot of other people. PE: Do you see this common political message, once so blatant in the punk scene, is declining now more or is more hidden? Jos: I guess that to a certain point, the whole common political thing was,'Fuck this, fuck that!" and there was something that was common... I guess it's really hard to say... I can notjudge for American, but in Holland, you see so many people come and go, like be active lor one or maybe two years. Now there are really not that many people involved, in like doing labels or putting out fanzines. there just really aren't that many around in Holland. Most of them, say the

think a lot of decisions in life are political. There are a lot of bands that say they are not political, but even a punk band that is singing about girls and cars are in fact making political statements like, "We don't care about what goes on in society; we'd rather sing about girls and

[Maybe we should bring Reagan and Thatcher back to revitalize the punk scene+d.1. The strange thing is now the unification ol Europe is coming. Europe is tuming into some kind ol

America. lthinkalot of people have fallen into this political apathy in America and it is happening in Europe, especially the youth who are getting very apathetic as well. Its this whole competition thing now. 'l want to get a job as fast as possible to survive in society." All of these things like good social security and good health care are coming down and people want to get off school and get a job as quick as possible. They don't want to think about things like changing society now that there is this competition for jobs, to gel a house... Plus, with the European unity, some things in Holland are just changing so tast. Like the whole squatting laws. lt is so much more difficult to squat today than it was ten years ago. We used to play every show in squats and now all the sguats are evacuated. ln Amsterdam and other big cities, some squats are still happening, but it is so much more difficult. Jos: lt is possible to squat a house, but it only lasts for a week or so, unless its a really abandoned place where no one cares and they're gonna take it down in a few years anyway. Paul: lfs because of the new laws about squatting coming out of Germany. lt's the same

'Paul: Yeah, and other things are changing... lJos: There is a lot of pressure on the Dutch lgovernment because everything has to be iequal. To a certain extent we have a really lgood system in Holland, when you speak of like lhealth care or social security and stuff like that. that's all coming down as well. Especially lBut rfor people who are unemployed or are over 65 lor if you are unable to work because of an laccident... they are vulnerable people and are :going to be hurt as well. I

lWelfare or Warfa;e? I

PE: Do you think the social systems in Europe were created to keep people passive or is there a genuine socialist philosophy behind it? Paul: All of these things didn't just fall out of the sky, there was a lot of struggle behind them. The unions in our country were quite big, in the 30's and after the second world war. The Communist Party was the second biggest party after the war in Holland and during those periods a lot of things were changed. The normal Social DemocraVlabor party started to back off when the communists started to make all of these laws, good laws, like social security. The same things happened in the Scandinavian countries, where the left wing parties were really big after the war, when red and communist ideas were really popular, which is why I think they have got such good systems. You can see it in every country, where after the second world war, where left wing parties were really big and had a lot of support. Those countries have the best social systems, which I think has a lot to do with social struggles as well. But to a certain point you are right, because of the welfare system, that people become passive as well. They say, '\rvhy should we fight?" Or like if you don't have a job you get money from the bank. PE: Perhaps people don't miss it [welfare] until it's gone. Jos: Still, it's really easy in Holland where you can barrow money from the bank really easily. So, you can still get all of those status symbols like a car or a televisioh or a house, or even a nicer house. You don't need any money, you can iust go to the bank and get so much money pretty easily. So what you see now is that poverty is on the rise again, but people are still buying their new car or television. Paul: lt must be said that the systems are all paid for by the money that people pay in taxes, because we also have a totally ditferent tax system than like here. lt's not the money ot the government, but the money of the people who pay taxes into all kinds of funds. Jos: lts about a third of the money that you earn goes to health care... PE: Yeah, about a third of your money here goes to paying taxes as well, but you hardly see any direct benefit as a result. Paul: lt is just what your government in doing with all of the money. I mean your government has different priorities than ours... PE: Yeah, like world domination.

ol times they just vote against everything, no matter what it is. They do really stupid stutf. On television all of the political parties have a broadcast every day and, for example, Holland lost a soccer game because one of the Black players missed a penalty, and this party started ott their minute of political bullshit with that

Paul: At first, thete was an idea was that we should make one Dutch song compilation, where all of the bands on it would sing in Dutch. That project didn't come off and was ooino to

councils. lt are some cities Like the city where two members on the council. fascists crowd are pretty obvious because maybe they belong to a party, or talk a lot ol bullshit. So most people get a clue and don't vote for that party, but what has been happening.... well, the liberal pafi that is called the Liberal Democratic Party, to a certain extent accept the same ideas, but they can phrase it a lot better and use more people are for that party, that in my point of view is

of people with colored skin who were born in Holland. Olav: There are two generations who were already born in Holland. Paul: But there are more problems, say in British communities, where there is a higher level of unemployment. ln all maior cities, it is happening in Europe, where all of those people are put into let's say 'ghettos.' That's where these problems started and it's the lault of the governments themselves. They created those ghettos and a lot of stutf is going on there, like there are hard drug problems. lt has nothing to do with these people or the color ol their skin has to do with the you are unemand have nothing to do than to do crime or whatever.

more and more underground because of a lot ot actions that have gone on. At the same time,

they have also really radicalized, so you get more attacks against Turkish restaurants. They'll go into a Turkish restaurant and beat up a whole mess of people. PE: They are getting more bold? All: Yeah. Olav: There is this theory that the CD (Central Democrats) have'distanced themselves trom the CB, a more radical fascist party, on purpose. This way, the less radical can go to the CD and the more radical can go to the CB. Paul: The strange thing is you see a lot of people change all the time. Some people are members of the CD, as well as members of real neo Nazi groups. There is this whole network; I read a book about a network in Holland that has been detected connecting these groups with other Europe groups, the KKK, the World Aryan Nation, the Anti-Communist League, and stuff like that. Like the KKK has big divisions in Europe. lt's slowly growing and it's getting more radical. PE: Would you say that'our side' is loosing ground? Paul: Yes, but mostly because the left side is the most divided like I said before. We have one group of people who say, "Yeah, we should talk to them," and a group of people who say "No, we should ignore them," and anther group that says we should beat the shit out ol them. There's no real thing that says "Ok, we have to work together to stop them." Olav: lt is the problem, not iust in the punk scene but in general, with all of these people slagging eachother off. That's why we also wrote this song "PC Not.' We were having this strange discussion on the subjec-t about being politically correcl We don'i seem to be coming together on cornmon ground; we only seem to be fighting eacholher. Thinking about this, "We can't work with you," or "You're an asshole," or whatever. That b one of the biggest problems

within the left wing movement. There are so many groups pretending to do the same, bul they are also tighting eachother. lf you look back at it, it is because of such small differences it's really crazy. Also, the right wing has always been even more blind to their leadership than the left wing. They do what they want to do, but the left wing always says, "Let's discuss thls first...", have a meeting, or whatever,

The oppression placed on punks lnside our nation's penal syetems is staggering. fe are forcetl to cut our hair because they fear individualieu. others are allowed to have their eamingo, but our various body jew-

elry is strictly prohibited.

our

nuslc is eonsidered to be dtfiant of eetablished penalogically ideas and therefore forbidden. The ideas tve hold are understootl to be iusidious and rloious. For eryressing our vierrs He are put in itolatiou. Is this the

justice orr society says it values so highly? If so, tear it donn my brothers and sisters beeause it is fascisu in its highest, form. The enslavenent of fellow punks and anarchists is an everyday occrr* rence. Forced to labor for

nies an hour or iu sone c86e6, for free. The vork involveil would nornally bring anyrhere frou nlnluun wage up to l5 or 16 dollara an hour. Those of us *hon defy the ailnlnlstrations are made exanples of in order to keep the mindless nasses in line. Isolation, denial of privilege, anil pub-

All these things are onrltiplieil ten fold inside one of these places. The reason behind this is to renind those of you, chai know people like me, in prisons throughout the nation, that they still need your support.

see

these hard-nosed Texas judges giving 18 year old kids 99 1'cars for PettY burglary. Just to make an eruPle of them. And the rorst thing'about [hrt is, the exarnple is not ts teach others not to burglarize, the exanple is to nake the judge look "Lough on crime" whenever
