features our pamphlet
<http://www.monochrom.at/hacking-the-spaces>"Hacking the Spaces" and
posts a couple of suggestions:
This is just the start, of course. I'd also suggest that efforts be
made to develop more radical hacktivist projects, particularly
aligned towards ongoing social struggles. What if an Anonymous-style
movement went after the Minutemen and nativist anti-immigration
groups rather than the Church of Scientology? Hacklabs should also be
connecting to these ongoing social movements and offering their
technical expertise and support. Imagine if a worker-occupied factory
was able to continue production under worker control thanks to the
adoption of reprap machines or other open source 3D printers,
facilitaed by hacktivists? What if DIY robot hackers assembled fleets
of drones to aid in Copwatch programs, using sousveillance to keep
abuses of authority in line? Even better, what if these hackerspace
users took their politics back to the labs, factories, and offices in
which they work, enabling a new movement of radicalized scientists
and techies to counter the corporate uses and abuses of their
research and intellectual labor? What are we waiting for?
