Hard for the authorities to catch, they use text messaging to organise spontaneous night-time demonstrations across the country, especially in university towns.

The protesters wear black cloaks and white masks, reminiscent of the hacker-anarchists Anonymous, to hide their identity. After 15 minutes on the street, they are gone. --- Supporters of the far right want a new order in Germany, but while they live under the current system, some are establishing what they call "national liberated zones", dotted across the country.

The most famous example is Jamel, a village in northern Germany which has been largely taken over by the far right.

In the middle of the village is a brightly painted Nazi-style mural in which a traditionally dressed German mother cradles her baby, surrounded by her other children.

Also painted there is a proclamation that Jamel is free, social and national.

[WS:] Interesting. Reminiscent of the anarchist practices described by Graeber.
