Autonomy and self-organisation
After the beginning of the last century, Chief Womba of Leverville, a place called after the founder of Unilever, the Dutch multinational company, collected coconuts for Mr. Lever. Mr. Lever was earning a lot of money, as you know. Chief Womba only had to deliver his coconuts for a good living. After a year, he had all he needed for a good living: ten wives, a big village, pearls, brass poles and so on. He no longer collected coconuts. Mr. Lever couldn't understand this attitude. "Why didn't Chief Womba carry on collecting coconuts? Every palm tree could be a full bank account for him." [author: Karl-Heinz Thier]

Zur Verschränkung von Rassismus und Sexismus [DE]
Vom 17. - 20. Januar 2002 fand in Bremen die 1. cross-over-conference statt - mit dem Untertitel: Machtnetze attackieren! Ziel dieser conference war es, gesellschaftliche Herrschaftsverhältnisse auf ihre jeweiligen Verzahntheiten hin abzuklopfen, also mit einem Anspruch ernst zu machen, welcher zwar regelmässig formuliert, viel zu selten jedoch umgesetzt wird. Konkret heisst das: Geplant waren ausschliesslich workshops, die 2 oder mehr Herrschaftsverhältnisse miteinander verknüpfen, wie z.B. Heterosexismus und Kapitalismus oder Sexismus und Antisemitismus. In diesem Sinne soll im Folgenden anhand eines konkreten Verknüpfungsbeispieles veranschaulicht werden, worin denn theoretischer wie praktischer Nutzen eines solchen Vorgehens besteht.
