Funny. Have you tried crack? Discussing maker spaces will be further down your priority list if you do.
German maker spaces are not nice for people with different views i.e. not left wing.
Simply not true.

I know a lot of people who couldn’t be described as leftists in the German makerspace scene, even in the CCC itself.
If you are rabidly right wing (AfD, for example), then yes you will be shunned. But if you are a normal decent person you will be fine.

The CCC being political and left-wing is a feature and not a bug.

Isn’t anarchism typically aligned with libertarian views?

They are a lot more compatible than people like to admit.
Both have a strong ethos towards promoting individual liberty, and generally agree somewhat on the approach that an individuals rights have a “limit” when they infringe on the rights of another person.
The main difference seems to be that a lot of libertarians take a strictly individualistic approach, whereas anarchists tend to prefer a mutualism approach.
Honestly, if you explain both in neutral terms to someone, they sound almost the same with minor differences.
> taken over by
Many German hacker/maker spaces and groups were founded by people who are somewhat leftist or anarchist in outlook. There was no takeover.
Also, to Americans, even centrists or conservatives in Europe look like communists.
