Yes, there are other social centres....
EX-SSEES Occupied Social/political Centre – 21 Russell Square, London
WC1
//Closed Circuit City
Evermore spaces for students are being regulated by commercial
interests,
mediating so-called public and common space for the benefit of
expanding
markets and profits. Our ability to participate and interact on our
terms,
with our environment has been severely undermined. Leisure time becomes
an
extension of work, studying is quantified by our ability to assimilate
and
conform to uniformed timetables, common rooms are designated
‘financially
not viable’, whilst the bars become corporate money-makers. But not
just in
universities, all around us, the enclosure of public spaces is ongoing
and
being resisted.
//SSEES seized!
As the New Year started, a new occupation began. The former School of
Slavonic and Eastern European Studies (SSEES) located at 21-22 Russell
Square, London which had been vacated some months previously, was
occupied
by students and non-students, aiming to create free accommodation,
denied by
speculative property prices and in refusal of the debt trap exacerbated
by
the creeping privatisation of education. We seized what has been
denied, and
we don’t seek to re-create private property, but rather, to realise a
new
radical, public space for all.
Following on from and inspired by previous occupations for use as
social
centres in London and further a field, our dream is to actively involve
not
just ourselves but everyone who seeks and is willing to participate in
a
reformation of space, contesting that space for the development of
collective social and political needs.
We reject all forms and systems of domination and discrimination. We
organise collectively and welcome people to come and contribute ideas
and
energy to the time and space we have at SSEES. We hope to re-make our
world
for the benefit and enjoyment of all. We welcome you to get involved!
Ex- SSEES Occupied social centre, Jan 30th 2006
EXTRA! EXTRA! LAUNCH EVENT SATURDAY 4th FEB
Extravaganza of political presentations, urban contestation of space

you people really do live in a strange, little world, don't you...
as opposed to the world of sitting in a half demolished building day after day huddled round a 3 bar fire & no toilets?
You didn't strike me as the judgmental type. Pity.

That forthcoming activities agenda is almost like its written in another languague.
It doesn't show any focus at all - do rampARTS wish to campaign for all the worlds oppressed at the same time?
Just who is supposed to appeal to? The only people who would be interested in this is just a small clique on the left, which, I feel, is only those that currently use the centre and who have organised and written the forthcoming activities.
montevideo said:
sad also, monte, that you seek to misrepresent the occupation here in such narrow and austere terms, when the point i was trying to make (perhaps obliquley, i grant) is that the way forward in these cases s/b to attempt to include local communities in resistance rather than exclude them culturally.
it's not really about 'judgement' in any moral sense, but strategy.

ASBO squat in Nottingham
http://asbo.squat.net
ASBO stands for 'A Simple Building Occupation' if you're wondering.
closely linked with Nottingham's Sumac Centre and Notts Indymedia.
the building used to be a crack den apparantly. it's got a lot of local support since it was opened. it's a council owned building and after a few lacklustre attempts at eviction notices they seemed to have backed down and the squatters seem fairly safe for the time being.
interesting recent article:
