You really may want to look up where and how CCC was founded. I’m always amazed at people being shocked that left to extreme left politics are the norm on an event from an organization that was founded in Kommune 1 in hippy Berlin

So far I haven't met anyone there who was into politics. People there are sometimes slightly anarchic, but definitely not interested in any left and right. But there are a lot of furries - the biggest visible group of visitors - they're just there for sex and party.

As far I can tell only some of the organizers (the people with the money for equipment) seem to have some ties to the fascist left. (Nowadays called Europe Socialism - they absolutely don't like Europe Socialism being called National Socialism - Europe is absolutely not National... But they don't really do anything that looks like CCC - they just spend some money there - and put a little bit of fascist propaganda on display...

		Then you have ignored the majority of the event. Don’t get me wrong, I’m also there for the technical talks or at least tech-related talks. But most of the tracks aren’t that. And I would say at least 50% of the assemblies and Co are political. The Sea Watch people, the ones who are regularly detained by Italian authorities have their home base there. The CCC, as an organisation, always has been a political organisation first. I wouldn’t call them a particularly successful one. But they are the opposite of agnostic or worse apolitical
