Against the Legalization of Occupied Spaces

The text first appeared in 1995 as a pamphlet addressed to the occupied spaces and social centers in Italy by two anarchist occupied spaces.

The authors first set forth their basis for choosing to carry out occupations and then examine the implications of the legalization movement in terms of the recent history of squatting in Europe- and in terms of the effects of negotiation and compromise with the institutions of domination on the project of self organization.
