    Christiania is a wonderful place that should be forever preserved. My wife and I visited in 2013; we went back to Christiania three times in our brief stay in Copenhagen. Got better every time. Wonderful place. I would literally live there, and I realize that it would be very challenging in many ways. But what a humane existence!

      Christiania is still there; as the saying goes "They can't make us go away, we are a part of what they are" (it sounds better in Danish, and even rhymes too - but you propably get the idea :-))

    The Hash & Weed market out there is still going strong. I personally never had any problems buying out there even when it was supposedly shut down. Most people (myself included) see it great little (car-free, which I don´t think they mentioned) oasis, where you can quickly get away from the noise and stress of the city. Plus it´s one of the biggest tourist attractions we have, so I don´t think it´s going to change too much anytime soon.

    There's nothing wrong with the way people in Christiania wants to live but the crackdown of the illegal weed market out there is due to organized criminals like Hells Angels and other dubious, violent criminals that exploit the free market and push their power onto the community (and pay the community a small fee for letting them deal there). A poor 18-year old boy tried to go there to deal weed and was beaten to death by organized pushers. No one wanted to come forward and point out the guilty people. They live in a society of fear where organized criminals are keeping a stranglehold on them to not interfere.

      @@uncleseth9 So when the state uses socialism to try to wager you into it's political division are you going to buy it? If a people is free of a external threat it is because they are free and live without modern society encouraging on there god given rights. You can try to redefine that and in fact you can try to change it but If you put a price on it you no longer can say I'm a free man I'm a socialist. Also, let's not be naive socialism is a type of classism and free people are not ruled by the state. As for social ownership I think that's an illusion and there is nationalism that ties people to a land but that does not mean that they are socially bound to that land.

    Socialism and Capitalism simply cannot exist on the same planet. The ONLY way for a Socialist society to exist is from the destruction of Capitalism. And when I say the destruction of Capitalism I'm not talking about just the idea alone, but the people as well.

    My band played a show there in 1991, what a trip! It was like a Viking Hippy commune, but they had their sh*t together and paid us, fed us, and we got to crash there and hang out for a day before slogging off to the next town. Don't know if it's still there, but they had a big community center that regularly had rock shows, mostly any kind of alternative music.
