Der Brandanschlag auf das Berliner Stromnetz wurde auch von Linken fast durchweg verurteilt. Doch nicht erst die Methode ist falsch, sondern bereits die in der Klimabewegung verbreitete Analyse, dass unsere »imperiale Lebensweise« das Problem sei.

How do you topple an autocrat?
First, identify segments of his support base that are not permanently committed to his reign, but whose backing is essential to his power.
Analyze their interests. Identify what is more important to them than maintaining his reign. Identify their vulnerabilities.
Identify a form of activity that could put that segment of the autocrat’s supporters in a situation in which they will prefer to withdraw their support.
Engage in that activity—whatever it takes.
Repeat as needed until enough sectors of society shift their commitments.
The anti-Tesla protests of spring 2025 demonstrated the effectiveness of this strategy.
Facing a unified front of fascist demagogues, Christian nationalists, and tech billionaires, protesters applied pressure to Tesla dealerships and forced Musk out of Washington within just three months.
