From environmental protest to social power building beyond the climate
Environmental and climate activism in the Czech Republic has evolved within a polarized democracy where both dominant political blocs, ‘anti-democratic populism' and ‘democratic anti-populism,' reject climate policy. This article analyzes how grassroots movements respond to this closed political opportunity structure, focusing on Re-set, an organization that emerged from the climate justice movement. Unlike earlier protest-based or NGO-driven adv…

Five essays examine key concepts of anarchist theory from various perspectives. Ondřej Slačálek presents a genealogy of direct action in the ideas of anarchists such as Carlo Cafiero, Errico Malatesta, and Voltairine De Cleyre, and compares it with Thoreau’s concept of civil disobedience.

Every city needs a Klinika
The article uses the struggle for an autonomous social centre in Prague to examine the concept of post-politicization in the post-socialist city.

The case of Klinika demonstrates that post-politics is not a one-way process – but re-politicization i…
Direct Actions in the Czech Environmental Movement
Direct actions constitute an important repertoire of action for environmental movements in Western countries. This article differentiates two ideal types of this repertoire of action: the anarchist concept, which understands direct action in terms of values and as a preferred way of doing things; and the liberal concept, which uses direct action in an instrumental way. Based on my empirical research in post-socialist Czech Republic, the article f…
Rethinking radical activism
Using empirical material relating to political squatting in Prague, the objective of this article is to problematize, complement, and extend the radical-activist type within the political-activism typology for postsocialist countries developed by Ondřej Císař. The text analyzes 3 crucial political squats that emerged after 1989: Ladronka, Milada, and Klinika. It aims to document that the radical activism presented by Císař is not homogeneous but …
