No it is not a purpose of its own and UFS has already reacted when they
heard about us hanging out in the squat and promoting squatting. It was
quite a debate and I'd prefer it we talked about it IRL/AFK and not in the
list.

I agree, autonomy is of course desirable. What is more desirable though is
to have the resources to start physically doing things rather than meeting
up at cafes and talk. That is why we are a part of UFS and FUF

UFS is the district. FUF is the nation wide organisation. They are both
Young Researchers. Does that make anything clerarer?

Association is a tricky word since it can also mean organisations such as
FUF. Förening is a special word that means specifically a association that
is part of a "förbund" (or at least most of the time).
