Reading | A Guide to the Democratic Offensive | Democracy, Resistance, Hope | with activist and SPIEGEL bestselling author Arne Semsrott
Away with helplessness and doom-and-gloom—it’s time for a democratic counteroffensive!
Much of what Arne Semsrott described in his book *Machtübernahme* as a grim scenario of a right-wing conservative shift has already become a bitter reality: a strict border regime, the denigration of financially disadvantaged people, attacks on democratic civil society, an end to climate protection, and a politics of fear.
In his new book *Gegenmacht*, Arne Semsrott uses numerous concrete examples to show how we can move from the defensive to the offensive. This evening, we’ll discuss methods and formats, strategic legal battles, care work based on solidarity, the importance of having our own spaces, strikes, civil society crisis response, fair governance, and, of course, enthusiasm and humor.
This book proves that we have all the tools we need to turn the tide. We just have to use them.
This is a joint event organized by Hackspace Schwerin e.V. and the Heinrich Böll Foundation MV.
