Vorläufig nur eine Show am 19.08Vegan Reich Communiqué
As we stand at the 30th anniversary of Vegan Reich's formation (25 years since we broke up) and are preparing to play our first show in 18 years (since our last reunion), it seems appropriate to take this opportunity to clarify the band’s position on a number of matters to ensure that our legacy is not misrepresented by a collection of assumptions, half-truths or fabrications amassed over the course of time, and to prevent us from remaining a stagnant historical footnote, removed from the ongoing struggle for animal and human liberation with which we are still involved.
As the years have passed and the connection between us as individuals and those who knew us (and what we were/are about) became disconnected from the entity of and/or the idea behind the name Vegan Reich, it is ever more likely that such a name will become misconstrued outside of the milieu within which it arose. That people hearing the name Vegan Reich may fail to realize the spirit in which the term was originally used. Similarly, those who do not know of our continued involvement in various liberation movement struggles over the years may perceive us through only one small window’s view into our existence, without truly understanding the essence of what we were or are about as a whole.
As fascists have sought to rebrand themselves with vulgar euphemisms such as “alt-right,” along with a co-optation in certain countries of veganism or straight edge by racist, and xenophobic elements, it becomes clear that we must clarify our name and beliefs in order to preserve our legacy from being used by those who hold such retrograde and ignorant views.
First and foremost, Vegan Reich started out as an anarcho-punk band. Our members have always been committed anti-fascists, and the band has historically primarily been made up of people of color throughout its existence.
We were formed during a time when militant currents of veganism/animal liberation had not become commonplace within the U.S. anarchist movement, let alone the American punk or hardcore scenes.
The name Vegan Reich came into being as a sardonic reappropriation of the pejorative term “vegan fascists” being leveled against us (as anarchist animal rights activists) by some members of the then American anarchist movement (which saw no place for the inclusion of animals into their notions of equality and social justice, and consequently felt it was “fascistic” for any group to argue against their “right” to use animals for food and clothing). Before there was a band, a group of us took to using the name Vegan Reich as a way of shoving our militant animal liberationist and abolitionist views in their faces.
The band was formed as a way to further this agenda.
At our inception, we were not a straight edge or drug free band, but over time as we saw more activists succumb to alcoholism and drug addiction, we embraced a strict drug free lifestyle.
During this phase, our members were also exploring various spiritual paths, from Taoism and Buddhism to Eastern Orthodoxy, Islam, and Rastafarianism. Those influences led us to a strictly ascetic lifestyle, during which time we wrote and released the Hardline EP (that in turn gave birth to the Hardline movement, essentially a modern day monastic order).
The purpose of this communiqué is not to debate the merits or flaws of Hardline as an idea, movement, or historical occurrence within punk rock and hardcore. No one who was in Vegan Reich then has been Hardline since 1992, and the movement itself was intentionally disbanded in 1999 (with our support and encouragement).
No doubt, the mere mention of spiritual or religious influences will make some wince (if not outright reject those who have such connections) due to the false assumption and prejudicial belief that people of faith are somehow inherently reactionary.
We cannot hope to alter such bigoted views with this statement. If in these times of an increasingly interconnected world some people still fail to understand the diversity of opinions that exists within the multitude of cultures and spiritual beliefs—in addition to the complex nuances present within each one of those traditions—there is little we can do to enlighten such people by way of this statement.
This is not an attempt to justify the cultural and religious underpinnings that helped shape the viewpoints of some band members, nor to explain how various members’ views have changed or evolved over the years. However, it is important to clarify that the band was never a vehicle for any one member’s particular religious or non-religious views. Over the course of our different line-ups, we have had atheist members and we have had religious members. We have had Irish and Mexican Catholics as well as a convert to the Russian Orthodox Church. We have had those who have embraced some aspect of their family’s Native American traditions, as well as others who were Baha’is (and a new member who is involved with Krsna Consciousness). And of course, the most prominent and consistent member, Sean Muttaqi, was heavily influenced by Rastafarianism (as well as Buddhist and Taoist thought) before converting to Islam 22 years ago.
Although some Vegan Reich lyrics drew inspiration from religious symbolism, the band has never been a vehicle for any religion, and there has never been any one such belief present within the band at any given period of its history. Similarly, although our members are still drug free in this present incarnation, we have never considered ourselves a straight edge band.
Vegan Reich's underlying raison d'être—our existential purpose— has always been to forward a belief that no animal or human should live under oppression, coercion, or slavery: that the earth should be respected, protected and nurtured as the life-sustaining synergistic system (necessary for our survival) which it is.
All shock value aside, we have never believed in achieving animal or human liberation by implementing an authoritarian system of governance. Our political stance has always been anti-fascist, and anti authoritarian.
Seeing right wing, racist and or xenophobic groups embrace veganism while promoting hatred of their fellow human beings is incredibly disheartening. The underlying ethic inherent in veganism is that all living beings have an equal right to live out their life free from subjugation, torture and murder.
For the earth, for the animals and for ALL humanity—we will continue that fight.

naja anscheinend gab es mehrere Angebote von bekannten Festivals, die alle abgelehnt wurden und das wohl zum Jubiläum des Ultras eine einmalige Sache war. Also ist das Geld eher zweitrangig.SammyJankis hat geschrieben: ↑Mo 26. Mär 2018, 16:37Schnell nochmal abcashen!
Btw, wieso gibt es nur diese Totale als Kameraperspektive?
Ich mag The Smiths ja sehr, aber sorry, das was ein gewisser Herr in letzter Zeit so abgesondert hat, darauf kann ich gerne verzichten.
