Interesting look at a culture unfamiliar to me. My internal smug prick says it's ironic that an anarchist group used violence to enforce social norms, but maybe I haven't read enough theory.

Also, I find the act of printing and distributing a zine to justify beating the shit out of some guy really funny. Like, you can't just jump a guy who pissed you off, you have to make a production out of it, and provide documentation.

I will say that this article has biased me against the Montreal anarchist community. The festival FAQ [ https://constellationmtl.net/faq/ ] says that they basically have no plans for conflict resolution, so everybody be cool. Obviously this approach didn't really work out here, so I can't imagine it works at larger scales.
