autonomist: A longstanding tradition for independent action groups. Rooted in New Left intersectionalism and anarchist concepts like the affinity group and propaganda of the deed, but often divorced from anarchist theory and more devoted to punctual causes. A group professing to be "autonome" is rejecting centralised chains of command. See https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Autonome
demo: short for "demonstration". A street protest, typically a peaceful march with slogans and posters.
Küfa: Küche für alle, "cooking for all". Community kitchens. An event where volunteers offer free meals to all interested; or a structure dedicated to such events.
Macker: macho guy; man who hasn't overcome toxic masculinity.
mate: yerba mate—not the original ground herb but as fizzy, caffeinated soft drink. misteriously ubiquitous in the left scene.
plenum: plenary, assembly. a group meeting to plan and discuss actions. often boring.
OAT: Offenes Antifa Treffen, "open antifa meetings". Events to interact with the public and recruit new blood.
repro: "reproductive labour", i.e. not to create products, but to keep things running. the type of work traditionally left for women and servants: cleaning, cooking, carework, daily planning… "The Macker talk big about communism but no one offers for repro."
