police state

A country where the police watch what you do and try to control your life. Where there's cameras in town centres and on public transport. Where you can be arrested because of something you said to a friend about the leaders of your country. Where police stop and search people for no reason. Where you can be detained without charge or trial. Where the state plants bugs with impunity. Where protesters have to get police permits, and where police regularly attack protesters.

Hang on. That sounds like America and Britain today!

Smash all police states! Down with Patriot Act, ASBOs, CCTV, ID cards, biometrics, no fly lists, Terrorism Act, Gitmo, Belmarsh, Public Order Act, and Nazi bastard politicians and pigs!

Get the police state mug.

autonome

German word for autonomism. Sometimes used in the English-speaking world because of the importance of the movement in Germany, where it is particularly associated with militant direct action and direct resistance to police violence.

In contrast to autonomism and autonomia, this word refers to an individual activist in the movement as well as to the movement itself (in its plural forms). It seems to be used instead of a general appelation.

Autonomes were in the forefront of mobilising to smash the Nazi demonstration.

Omwati

Bird-like humanoid, with blue feathers covering a human-like body; native to the planet Omwat. The Omwati are very intelligent. Omwat was plagued by imperial forces during the time of the Rebellion, and cities were obliterated to pressure captured Omwatis into working for the imperials.

Qwi Xux, the scientist who designed the Death Star and the Sun Crusher and who played an important role in the Star Wars Jedi Academy novels, is an Omwati.
