Anti-christmas: why and what to do!

Anti-christmas message
Anti-christmas message


It's a big mistake to view Christmas as a merely daft but harmless and antiquated festival.

Christmas is a major, pro-active, assault on the psyche whose main function is to indoctrinate the young into a consumerist, and by extension, pro-capitalist way of life.

That way of life is destroying the planet, causing poverty, climate change and war.

For anyone fighting capitalism, Christmas must be seen as a major target.

As an alternative to the 'festive' consumerism:

OVERGROUND - SATURDAY 21ST DECEMBER

Day of Disobedience

Meet Oxford Circus, midday onwards

The WOMBLES, with others, will be creating an autonomous space in the middle of Oxford Street featuring:

A FREE SHOP - Come & get stuff for free. Books/cd’s/toys/clothes. Bring stuff down you want to give away.

A MOBILE KITCHEN - Giving away WOMBLE veggie burgers & wonderous edible delights

MUSIC - with free dancing lessons. Learn to tango Argentinean style. Bring old pots & pans to bang (like the cacerolazo of Argentina), create your own DIY samba band.

Guerrilla Santas will be on hand to show you how to make the most of your ‘disposable income’.
