The main arguments are illustrated by an analysis of the crisis protests in Germany in 2009-2010 and the Occupy Wall Street movement in the USA. The German apartment-house syndicate (‘Mietshäuser Syndikat’) functions as an example showing how the different strategies of the two political strands can be combined in practice.en330 Wirtschaftanarchismanti-austerity protestscrisis protestsGibson-Grahamhousing co-operationMarxismMietshäuser SyndikatOccupy Wall StreetCrisis protests in Germany, Occupy Wall Street, and Mietshäuser Syndikat: Antinomies of current Marxist- and anarchist-inspired movements and their convergenceArticle2041-0980
