This talk will focus on Ramsey's experiences as an anarchist organizer in Scotland with the Edinburgh anarchist group, Community Resistance. It will look at the various activities, both propaganda and more important, activist, that the Community Resistance group was involved in -- culminating in their five-year anti-poll tax organizing campaign -- and the conclusions that can be drawn in terms of anarchist organizing, anarchist groups, and vanguards.

This talk was presented at the third Renewing the Anarchist Tradition conference, at the Institute for Social Ecology, August 2001.
