Concerning the start of a new to be social center that involves the long term depending on welfare ( Bijstand ) in The Netherlands :
First of all my sympathy for the struggle of the social center Spinhuis squatters. Autonomous social centers are of the utmost importance in The Netherlands I think. I regret having to write that there is no autonomous center by and for the longterm depending on welfare in The Netherlands. If you think about https://www.atd-vierdewereld.nl/ that is a christian initiative so not an initiatieve for fundamental change. I so much want to start such an initiative but thorougly lack any support what so ever and I tried for quite some time. I my self am depending on welfare longterm. The people longterm depending on welfare face this as an end station although the State does not recognize the fact that most depending on " Bijstand " Dutch welfare will never have a paid job again. Social work by the State does not help us. No one does. So here we are Bijstanders waiting for Godot or till we are evicted from " social " housing or being institutionalized. Total boredom nothing else to do than looking for cheap groceries or once a week to the Foodbank hand out Voedselbank charity. There is so much tot do start an initiative will be said by some of the radical left. People who say this do not understand poverty . Poverty means isolation means having no network for example. Often it also means in NL if on longterm Bijstand being elderly. Grey white hair will you still feed me will you still need me when Im sixty four. In other words we are not interesting enough.
Again I regret to say that a fight with the police seams easier for radical leftist activists than reaching out to often elderly long term depending on welfare in NL. My idea is for example to start a makerspace for and by longterm Bijstand dependend a makerspace dedicated to the issue of climate change and fuel poverty. So making and inventing cheap solutions for the poor.
An other idea by me is to start a coop in vacant shops empty for years . A coop by and for longterm unemployed depending on welfare in NL. " SPINHUIS TO BE EVICTED: WE ARE MILITANT AND DETERMINED TO RESIST " o.k. it looks that there is fighting to be done . This also means reaching out to us longterm Bijstanders a lot of us already elderly. Do not forget us please. Raymond.
