Leftist youth groups conduct street battles with police in Copenhagen

But kid my sailboat is just like this meeting place. It is not a necessity. It is not necessary for survival-- heck according to the Danes, it wasn't the accomodation for these folks.
So the inability to pay rent for a building is irrelevant. Lots of people want all kinds of amenities they can't afford. Sometimes government will provide them . . . sometimes they won't .
But rioting and proclaiming a right to have your own meeting building. That just goes to far.

Yeah, dangnabit, I want a free rehearsal and recording studio! These damn capitalists expect me to pay for it at the moment. Taxpayers should pay for me to have free access to rehearsal and recording facilities.
It's not fair! I should start a riot and accuse the police of fascism if they stop me!
Nope, nothing to do with lots of poor people that hasn't a place to live. As far as I know, noone had their address there. Most of the users were teenagers that still lived home with mommy and daddy while others were students/workers/artists with their own college rooms or appartments.
It's not an housing but a socalled "Folkets Hus", wich many danish cities have. They were build by the unions as meeting places typically in the early 1900's. They typically has some administrative office areas and one or two large rooms used for parties and political meetings. The current building had two such.
As I suspected. They are not now without a place to sleep or eat. They've lost their social/political gathering place. They could take the money they've received in donations and buy a new one, but that is unacceptable to them for ideological reasons, apparently.
Reverse the situation in your mind, Kid. The fundie group is granted the use of the building for free in 1982. The house is sold to a progressive youth group (perhaps, for fun, we'll make it a gay group) recently. The Church group refuses to surrender the building to the "spawn of Satan" and barricades themselves inside. The matter is brought before the courts. The youth group wins. The Church group vows to fight on. The cops come in and evict them. The fundies call in "brothers in faith" from other countries to protest. The protests turn violent ("wrath of God!").
The youth group prevails in the end, tears down the building and erects a gay counseling center (?) on the spot.
Would you be backing the fundies in that scenario? I wouldn't.

You aren't going to riot Flubber. There are plenty of legal things for you to do to get a sailboat.

Well every action has a reaction. It is what it is.

There are peaceful, legal ways for this youth group to get another meeting place. But they rejected that path and chose violence.
Which, in turn, is what led me to side with the authorities against them.

You're generous. I sided against them when I learned they were acting indignant over not getting something for nothing. Hippie...hatred...rising...
