+## Where we come from {#wherewecomefrom}
+
+The world has changed in the 23 years since the Chaos Computer Club
+stepped forward to keep an eye on the impact of technological advances
+on people and society. Technology and electronic communication are a
+driving force in companies, government, and entertainment and enable a
+lot of new developments in the first place.
+
+The creative-critical approach to computers is therefore no longer only
+a topic for a few specialists without any connection to the actualities
+of life of most people. As the public’s interest in hacking grows, the
+demand on hackers to convey values and to influence society in their own
+interest grows equally.
+
+## Hacking
+
+The CCC has always made clear that hacking obligates to conscientious
+behavior. The claim on handling the data so obtained – protecting
+private data, using public data – applies to everyone, even companies
+and governments.
+
+But hacker ethics are more than an unbinding set of instructions for
+moral behaviour. They require us to question the alleged reality and
+mistrust authorities, because truth lies behind speciousness. Hackers
+abstract from outward appearances, they tweak structures and processes
+to actively form our society.
+
+In an almost naïve conviction we have so far assumed that the
+confrontation with the machine alone suffices to free its users and in
+the long run drive them to make our world a better place for all people.
+
+## The Club {#theclub}
+
+Openness has always been a principle of the Chaos Computer Club, which
+is expressed in the fact that we have gladly accepted people with new
+positions, as long as they have not come into conflict with our previous
+positions. We have done well with this, because it has enriched the club
+with new topics. Important topics like civil rights, the engagement with
+free software and copyrights, or Blinkenlights became reality, which
+extended the “Hackerverein” of the 80s. But openness is not
+arbitrariness. Precisely because openness has turned out to be useful,
+we must not forget the borders and our historical roots, especially at a
+time in which nationalist content is increasingly pushing its way into
+the centre of society and the centre is increasingly losing itself in
+right-wing extremism, racist exclusion and social exploitation.
+
+## Technological Infatuation and May 8, 1945 {#techand1945}
+
+Sixty years ago – on May 8, 1945 – the Allies liberated Germany from
+National Socialist rule. In order to stop the German murder machine, in
+the end no other option remained other than the complete military
+abolition. In particular in light of the fact that the logistics of the
+Holocaust were driven forward by Hollerith punch card machines, trains
+rolled on sophisticated railway networks into the extermination camps,
+and Nazi engineers in love with technology tinkered with “retaliatory
+weapons”, it is clear today that completely value-free discussions about
+pure technology for its own sake are no longer possible without a look
+at the social consequences. Hacking is about much more than soldering
+irons and gcc, it is also about the dream of a better and free society.
+The horizon of the hacker goes far beyond the edge of the screen.
+
+## The Statement {#thestatement}
+
+We are a galactic community of living beings, independent of age,
+gender, descent and social status, open to all who have new ideas. But
+those who approach us with ideas of racism, exclusion, and the
+structural and physical violence associated with it have abandoned
+dialogue and are beyond the limits of acceptance. Anyone who wants to
+destroy coexistence in this society and work towards an alternative
+society whose principles are based on chauvinism and nationalism is
+working against the moral principles that unite us as a club.
+
+The CCC declares the representation of racism and the trivialization of
+historical and current fascist violence to be incompatible with
+membership. This includes in particular membership in or support of a
+right-wing extremist or right-wing radical organization. By this we mean
+not only numerous “free comradeships” but also groups such as the
+“Deutsche Liga für Volk und Heimat”, DVU, FPÖ, the “Hilfsgemeinschaft
+Nationaler Gefangener”, Lijst Pim Fortuyn (Partij LPF), NPD, ProKöln and
+“Die Republikaner”.
