The large A in a circle, sprayed on the walls of every city in the world, is leaving its niches. Personalities from science, art, pop music, and other fields are no longer met with misunderstanding when they declare their allegiance to anarchism - and they do so even more since the current global crisis has not only discarded the familiar welfare state but also the institutions of parliamentary democracy. In Austria, nonconformists like Dieter Schrage have contributed to this renaissance. Few embodied the bridge between high and subculture, between parliamentarism and anti-parliamentary opposition, between poetry and discipline (as Walter Benjamin envisioned the range of a revolutionary) like he did. Dieter Schrage (1935-2011) was an activist, cultural politician, art mediator, Green politician, and subculture researcher. He studied theater.
