− | Anargeek-manifestet er et forsøg i at kombinere anarkisme med hackerfilosofi.
| + | Hi!, |
− | | + | |
− | Det oprindelige manifest kommer fra [http://www.anargeek.net Anargeek.net]. Så dette skal oversættes til dansk.
| + | |
− | | + | |
− | Og jeg (valberg[at]anarcho.dk) har en idé, eller en drøm, om at lave et såkaldt anarnørd kollektiv i DK. Et kollektiv som laver IT til danmarks anarkister. Så kontakt mig gerne !

− | '''[EN]:''' I am an anargeek. An anarchogeek. An anarchist and a geek, among others.
| + | |
− | | + | |
− | '''[DK]:''' Jeg er en anarnørd. En anarchonørd. En anarkist og en nørd, blandt andre.
| + | |

− | | + | |
− | '''[EN]:''' I'm a geek, because I can be considered part of those who like to use,
| + | |
− | understand and alter those weird machines we call computers.
| + | |
− | | + | |
− | '''[DK]:''' Jeg er en nørd, fordi jeg kan blive opfattet som en af dem som godt kan lide at bruge,
| + | |
− | forstå og ændre disse underlige maskiner vi kalder computere.
| + | |
− | | + | |
− | '''[EN]:''' I'm a geek, then, because I am curious about the way they function. I
| + | |
− | wonder about what to do with their programs. And I feel excited,
| + | |
− | sometimes, by some of those uses that have not yet been explored or
| + | |
− | thought of.
| + | |
− | | + | |
− | '''[DK]:''' Så jeg er en nørd, fordi jeg er interesseret i hvorledes de virker.
| + | |
− | Tænker på hvad jeg skal gøre med deres programmer. Og jeg bliver spændt, nogle gange,
| + | |
− | over funktioner og måder at bruge dem på som ikke er blevet udforsket eller tænkt på.
| + | |
− | | + | |
− | '''[EN]:''' I'm a geek, because these machines are part of my daily life. I use them
| + | |
− | as clocks, as sound devices, as libraries, as typewriters, as coffee
| + | |
− | machines, as phones or memorandums. But on top of all, they're wide
| + | |
− | playgrounds. A support for communication, discoveries, creativity.
| + | |
− | | + | |
− | '''[DK]:''' Jeg er en nørd, fordi disse maskiner er en del af mit daglige liv. Jeg bruger dem
| + | |
− | som klokker, som lydapparater, som biblioteker, som skrivemaskiner, som kaffe maskiner, som telefoner og notater.
| + | |
− | | + | |
− | '''[EN]:''' I'm a geek, also because I have embedded digital communication at some
| + | |
− | point. Almost everyday, if not many times a day, I do read my e-mail,
| + | |
− | administrate some Internet servers, look after the network I'm sharing,
| + | |
− | inform myself, learn and exchange through forums, mailing-lists and
| + | |
− | miscellaneous websites, chat and meet through IRC.
| + | |
− | | + | |
− | '''[DK]:''' Jeg er også en nørd, fordi jeg bruger digital kommunkation på et eller andet punkt. Næsten hver dag, om ikke mange gange om dagen. Jeg læger min e-mail, administrerer servere, holder øje med det netværk jeg deler, informerer mig selv, lærer og deler via fora, mailing-lister og forskellige websider, char og møder via IRC.
| + | |
− | | + | |
− | '''[EN]:''' I'm a geek, still, because I like the term. It has first been an insult.
| + | |
− | But then, it's been reclaimed by those it mentions, turned positive and
| + | |
− | set the roots for a community, as some other "cultural minorities" did.
| + | |
− | | + | |
− | '''[DK]:''' Jeg er stadig en nørd, fordi jeg kan lide udtrykket. Det var i starten en fornærmelse.
| + | |
− | Men så, blev det taget af dem som det omtaler, vendt til det positive og plantet rødderne for
| + | |
− | et community, som mange andre "kulturelle minioriteter" har gjort.

− | | + | |
− | <p>I'm an anarchist, because I reject a society that's based upon
| + | |
− | domination. I'm convinced that self-empowerment and mutual respect are
| + | |
− | not only possible together and desirable, but that they can be achieved
| + | |
− | through equality, solidarity and self-management.</p>
| + | |
− | | + | |
− | <p>I'm an anarchist, then, because I am outraged by those social structures
| + | |
− | which cause mass exploitation, sufferings and deaths on a permanent
| + | |
− | basis. I want to contribute in putting this system down, by
| + | |
− | participating in social struggles and being involved in radical
| + | |
− | grassroots collectives.</p>
| + | |
− | | + | |
− | <p>I'm an anarchist, because I see my daily life as an opportunity to
| + | |
− | experiment my principles. I'm willing to break with social norms, by
| + | |
− | refusing calls to consumption and competition; reject alienation, by
| + | |
− | deconstructing oppressive & dominant behaviours, by developing
| + | |
− | collective & egalitarian alternatives.</p>
| + | |
− | | + | |
− | <p>I'm an anarchist, also because I tend to feel skeptical towards
| + | |
− | "official" information, I want to be critical towards mainstream and
| + | |
− | institutionnal media, since they format our vision with omissions, lies
| + | |
− | and misinformation. Rejecting self-proclaimed objectivity, I'm seeking
| + | |
− | for other means of informing and educating myself, for alternative tools
| + | |
− | to generate and spread the news.</p>
| + | |
− | | + | |
− | <p>I'm an anarchist, still, because I stand against the paranoia that
| + | |
− | seizes society, thanks to the manipulation of peoples' fears. I refuse
| + | |
− | the criminalisation, personal data collection and repression processes
| + | |
− | which are being launched by authorities against the poor, lower class
| + | |
− | and activists. Needless to say we have to resist.</p>

| + | |
− | | + | |
− | <p>I'm an anargeek, because I'm willing to bring together technological
| + | |
− | creativity and computer know-how with ethical considerations and
| + | |
− | political practices. While thought provides practice with meaning and
| + | |
− | direction, practice enhances thought and offers ideas a concrete
| + | |
− | expression.</p>
| + | |
− | | + | |
− | <p>I'm an anargeek, then, because I wish to live in a society based upon
| + | |
− | self-determination, free cooperation and collective intelligence. Thus I
| + | |
− | endorse the free software movement, which comes as the result of the
| + | |
− | worldwide volunteer collaboration of thousands, allowing anyone not only
| + | |
− | to share and understand, but also to modify and distribute computer
| + | |
− | programs.</p>
| + | |
− | | + | |
− | <p>I'm an anargeek, because I refuse to be enslaved by either a political
| + | |
− | system or a computer system. While states impose laws upon citizens,
| + | |
− | proprietary software force standards upon users. While authorities
| + | |
− | prevent agitation through repression, the companies attempt to kill
| + | |
− | alternatives through patents. I want to be able to self-manage my life,
| + | |
− | just as I want to be able to understand, modify or create the tools I
| + | |
− | use.</p>
| + | |
− | | + | |
− | <p>I'm an anargeek, also because I want to resist the never-ending
| + | |
− | consumption enforced by capitalism, that keeps on producing goods,
| + | |
− | throwing away and wasting resources, while manipulating peoples' minds,
| + | |
− | always. I recycle hardware that's considered obsolete, re-animate it
| + | |
− | with spare parts, liberate it with free software. I like reaching the
| + | |
− | limits of out-dated machines, creating rather than consuming, in an
| + | |
− | attempt to mix imagination and politics altogether.</p>
| + | |
− | | + | |
− | <p>I'm an anargeek, because I feel the need to disrupt some attitudes that
| + | |
− | stick to the communities I'm involved with. I wish the radical-left
| + | |
− | political and alternative computer cultures to get to know each other
| + | |
− | for a number of reasons: it is essential to challenge the strong sexist
| + | |
− | culture that lies within geekism and to critically assess the high
| + | |
− | specialisation that goes with computer science, as it is necessary to
| + | |
− | have militant movements understand digital potentials.</p>
| + | |
− | | + | |
− | <p>I'm an anargeek, also because computing happens to be an excellent
| + | |
− | medium for producing and spreading independent information. So do I
| + | |
− | participate to counter-information networks such as Indymedia: an
| + | |
− | autonomous media that is spread around the world and open to all, that
| + | |
− | breaks the borders between actors/spectators/journalists and raises
| + | |
− | issues mainstream media cautiously ignore or disinform about.</p>
| + | |
− | | + | |
− | <p>I am an anargeek, because I don't want to stay dumb, a know-nothing;
| + | |
− | or refuse to learn more, a know-everything. I want to remain open
| + | |
− | towards knowledge, learn and teach, share & discover skills I've
| + | |
− | never heard of, look beyond the rim of my teacup. I refuse to adhere to
| + | |
− | the traditional hierarchy which pretends that elders and superiors know
| + | |
− | better in any field of endeavour, just because they are older.</p>
| + | |
− | | + | |
− | <p>I'm an anargeek, still, because if computers do facilitate social
| + | |
− | control and domination, I do believe they can also be used as
| + | |
− | instruments of self-empowerment, communication and sedition. Since
| + | |
− | knowledge is more useful when shared rather than kept to oneself, I
| + | |
− | participate in skill-sharing workshops, or get involved in setting up
| + | |
− | collective non-commercial tools and "services" such as autonomous
| + | |
− | servers, free Internet access points, websites or hardware solidarity
| + | |
− | projects...</p>

− | <p>This "manifesto" does not aim at speaking up for you. You're free to
| + | |
− | partly adopt it, fully endorse it, totally reject it. And because
| + | |
− | there's just as many anargeeks as individuals, I encourage everyone to
| + | |
− | write and execute her/his manifesto, experiment his/her ideas, draw her
