Abstract:

Culture of resistance in the Czech Republic is not that uninteresting as some may think. Sure in USA there is the Occupy movement, in Spain the Indignados, but also in the Czech Republic there are as well organizations, which are trying to make a difference. Which are trying to change system to some kind of alternative one. No matter that they don´t know how the alternative looks like, but they are trying hard to find one and during that time, they are in streets showing their anger with right-government policy. In my point of view those movements which have enough of this system are the most powerful in today?s culture of resistance. In the Czech Republic there are mainly two organization of this type. One is called ProAlt ? Platform for critique of reforms and on support of alternatives and the second one is called Alternative from Below. I believe that these organizations are the most important protest organizations in the Czech Republic, because they have supporters from intellectuals, radical left, ecologist movements and Unions as well. But of course those are not the only protest organizations in the Czech Republic. There are plenty of them, but in my work I attend to those which influence the form of culture of resistance in the Czech Republic, or those which are at some point original.
