The Anarchist Bookfair at the Camden Centre on Saturday 20th October, London, was possibly the best ever - really well attended, good workshops and meetings at two busy sites and excellent information. An initiative by a David Pegg allowed an open mike for a while where stall=holders were able to talk about their stalls and meetings/literature. Speakers including Jello Biafra (ex Dead kennedys) were good and there were several highlights - everyone will perhaps have their own. I attended a crowded afternoon workshop on how the SWP were taking over the anti-globalisation movement for very cynical party-building purposes through Globalise Resistance, and the meeting came up with preliminary ideas about how our movement can stand up against Leninist power zealots and have the confidence to remove the SWP obstacle - even more pertinent following the exposure of internal SWP Stop the War memos on the indymedia and all sorts sites recently. Schnews launched the cheap (only 50p) brochure on the SWP - called Monopolise Resistance - how Globalise Resistance would hijack revolt- and available from Schnews,Po Box 2600, Brighton BN2 OEF (2 first class stamps and an SAE), which will be an essential piece of starting literature for us all. The new issue (No 4) of Notes from the Borderland was also released at the Bookfair - containing articles on September 11th (a better analysis than the rather tame and superficial rantings of Alice Nutter!), two on Mayday Monopoly, one by RTS themselves, and a major piece on how the inbtelligence forces - who are already targetting the anti-globalisation movement- are infiltrating and disrupting anti-eu forces. I think this is essential reading for Mayday activists who want to link in opposing the European Superstate a la Gotenburg into a wider analysis and praxis. This magazine is available from Notes from the Borderland (indy), BM4769, London WC1N 3XX, at 3-00. The editorial by Larry O'Hara has a sharp attack on SWP leaders Harman and Callinicos who have sought to cheaply attack Italian autonomist Toni Negri, something else to do the Vampire SWP on ! I sincerely hope that the Bookfair will be a watershed at least on that issue - let's staND UP TO THE swp who are looking to parachute into every genuine struggle and, after all, as was mentioned at the workshop on the Schnews pamphlet, if the Leninists (the Last CEntury Left) were ever successful, it would be libertarians/anarchists/anti-capitalists who would be up against the wall first. Remember Kronstadt. capitalism is crumbling and war is ravaging the planet - those of us at the Bookfair and reading this will form a significant part of the new 21st century movement that will plant the seeds of the future society we so need.
