Anarchy on the Airwaves
Martyn | 10.07.2005 11:49
Tonight at 22:45 hrs. as part of the "Westminster Hour" there is the first of a two-part programme:
Whatever Happened to Anarchism?
The programme blurb is as follows:
1/2. Earlier anarchist thinkers could never have imagined that the powerful nation states they hated so much would be undermined not by popular revolt, but by global corporatism.
Twenty years ago, covering an anarchist conference in Venice, journalist Wayne Brittenden became fascinated with the diversity of delegates - from Spanish Civil War veterans to squatters, ivy league professors and punk rockers. He reflects on this extraordinary event and on the heyday and potential fate of a largely forgotten political movement.
[Rptd next Wednesday at 20.45 hrs] If you miss it you can listen to it online at the BBCs "listen again" page for the next few days.
Not "forgotten" just written out of official history
