Witzenhausen mutiny
Class struggle with organic soap
The member store Fette Booty has the soaps from “Vio.Me” (again) in the range! On this occasion we present the products and the special place of production: In Thessaloniki/Greece, Vio.Me workers have been producing since 2013 in the organic soap collective in a factory they occupied. An eventful and combative decade lies behind the workforce. Part of the factory has now been evacuated, but production continues. The lecture recapitulates the origins of the occupation and locates it in Greece's recent history after the financial crisis. As in many places in Europe, the political right has now become stronger in Greece. We ask ourselves the question, how we can work together with collectives like Vio.Me and learn from each other in the spirit of a solidarity-based economy.
