• A Call to The Community from Chrystalleni Loizidou

  by Chrystalleni Loizidou - June 2023

  There is clear dissonance between the person described in the attacks against Richard Stallman’s character, and the Richard Stallman I know and have been in conversation with for the last 5 years. There is an error here that is harmful not only to him as an individual (I am deeply saddened by this, what a phenomenon to experience, what strange times we live in) but is also harmful more broadly: it is a distraction from what he stands for and the work we must do to reverse the hold of exploitative technologies on the future of humanity.

  I call on fellow feminists not to get carried away by aggressive and divisive defamation campaigns, and to focus our energy against oppression where it is really played out: in the collusion of the non-free technology industry with the edu-war-health industrial complex and the expansion of its domination to nearly all aspects of life. Let wise, kind and meaningful activism prevail.

  Chrystalleni Loizidou, PhD. Organiser of the Free/Libre Technologies, Arts and the Commons Unconference, an event with keynotes by Richard Stallman and Silvia Federici, University of Nicosia, Cyprus, 2019.
