Earlier quoted context omitted.

Agreed in principle, but 37C3 is a volunteer-run event. Admission fees are low and (barely) cover expenses.

Volunteering is a very tricky and shady business. If it was not - we’d all be volunteering and getting paid without tax. There’s a reason for some limits in volunteering laws whenever they exist in a country. I bet the same people running this whole thing are also very well paid techies. Not sure about the volunteers though. And third, not last, the fact something is run by volunteers does not change it’s nature - it…

I have it on government authority that taxes are voluntary.

I'd like to see some credible sources for this claim please. My impression is that individuals involved and associated with the CCC are not only experts in their field they often also have good understanding of how society is being challenged by climate change, deforestation, pollution, urbanisation and individual transport.

The volunteers range from well paid techies to couchsurfing students.

I'm not convinced of your last line. A business is typically maximizing profit, which isn't what's happening here to my knowledge.

You mean the CCC that was founded in the rooms of leftist newspaper TAZ at a table that was stolen from the anarcho-left commune "Kommune 1"?

If you don't understand that the CCC is and has always been anti-fascist, you're way off the path, friend.

Edit: forgot to mention: any notion that Antifa is a state-organized thing is misguided at best and wrong and in bad faith at worst. It's just not true.
