Radical London
www.radicallondon.net

A network of community-based anarchist, solidarity and pro-working class resistance groups
Are you fed up with the current system where profit takes place over people
- a system corrupt to the core, where the rich prosper while the rest of us scrape by just to survive?

Do you want to get involved in working alongside your neighbours, building a sense of community and self-empowerment
- where you can actually make a difference to you, your family, friends and workmates on a day-to-day basis?
 
Don't panic, we have a plan!
Radical London is a network of community-based anarchist, solidarity and pro-working class resistance groups. We want to collectively take back control over our lives, and the resources and decision-making where we live and work.
 
If you live in London and agree, sign up now! 
There are a number of active groups we can refer you to.  If there's no group in your area and you'd like to set one up, please tell us! We want to see an active local group in every local area throughout London.

AN APPEAL TO ALL RADICALS AND ANTI-AUTHORITARIANS
Why we should all help form radical local community-based groups
 
Our goal should be the creation of  a society free from the exploitation of capitalism and the oppression of the state - a society which is non-hierarchical and in which everyone is free, yet works together collectively. This will be achieved when the mass of the working class share these goals; in other words, we need to help build mass grassroots movements in which radical and anarchist ideas and ways of doing things can flourish in our communities.
 
Radicals are involved in a wide range of activities. The media tend to stress the more visible and physical roles such as the direct action at demos, arrests etc. But to overcome isolation and not just be a mere pinprick in the side of capitalism and the state, we must also reach out to the mass of the working class.
 
So what can we do?
The groups that are linked into the Radical London network believe that setting up local radical/anarchist/solidarity groups and networks, with the aim of engaging in local community actions as well as supporting local workplace struggles, is a key way of spreading ideas, solidarity and resistance amongst the wider working class. In addition, we are strengthened by our connection to others and we are in a better situation to actually participate in and win struggles.

For example...
 
Campaigns against cuts, to save a local market or a green space, or challenging the impact of the Olympics;
Supporting community groups and activities such as tenants and residents associations;
Local industrial disputes and supporting local workers involved in national strikes;
Practical solidarity work with claimants, people fighting eviction etc;
Fighting oppression, working with others to challenge racism and other forms of oppression;
Putting on activities such as film-shows, public meetings or radical history walks;
Producing leaflets and news-sheets with alternative ways of thinking about current issues & organising.
 
The groups in Radical London (and around the UK) are doing all of these things. If there were groups throughout London and the UK doing similar things and sharing our experiences and learning from each other, it would be a crucial step in making anarchist & radical ideas influential in a range of grass roots struggles - and a serious alternative to the current establishment / status quo.
