Oh, yeah. I mean CHAZ itself started as a joke. The actual struggle that lead to it was very real (and very cool). But nobody in the battle against the police leading up to it was aiming for an autonomous zone.
Would you say the people battling weren't necessarily fighting for anything but simply against police oppression? And when that oppression was gone, improvisation happened?
Not really, there've been pretty consistent demands (halve the SPD's budget) that still haven't been met.
The primary thrust of the protest is to move money from the police to social services. It's mostly not the radical anarchist vision of the future that CHAZ was.
