The 2013 London Anarchist Bookfair will be on
Saturday 19th October. From 10am to 7pm.
Bancroft Building, Queen Mary, University of London, London, E1 4NS.
(Mile End / Stepney Green tube. Buses: 25, 277, D6)
There is full disabled access / Creche available for children 2-8 years./ For older children there is a supervised space and hopefully a youth space.
In the 80s we saw widespread working
class resistance. The militant strikes and
urban uprisings of the mid 80s, and the
defeat of the poll tax. In the 90s Labour
rushed into wars for oil and the Coalition
that replaced them now use the threat
of economic collapse to go to war
against the poor.
No one can seriously think that there
is any future in the charade of parliament
and political parties. Resistance
is growing again on the streets, in
workplaces, on campuses and central
to it is self-organisation as it becomes
clearer that wherever we need to fight
we need to do it for ourselves.
One of last year’s speakers described
the London Anarchist Bookfair as
possibly the biggest annual anarchist
event in the world. We see it as a tiny
part of a movement that seeks to stir
up resistance and solidarity. It’s a space
to set out our ideas, experience and
arguments, to get involved and to show
that whatever the state throws at us
doesn’t isolate or crush us. More than
anything a chance to meet other people
who want to build a new world. It’s proof
that Anarchism doesn’t have to mean
lack of organisation.
Don’t miss out, come and celebrate
30 years of the London Anarchist Bookfair

Is there some kind of time-dimensional worm-hole in Brixton?
Anarchist Bookfair - the blurb says it all

Hey, better not wake any anarchists up and tell them, but so far as most working-class people are concerned, the main thing the State "throws" at us are things like water supplies, electricity, roads, education and HOSPITALS for fuck's sake (a certain Monty Python sketch springs to mind). And, yes, 50,000 people did march in defence of State-provided healthcare in Manchester... better not mention that though, Comrade, some of them might have been (shock horror) middle-class?!
As for whoever wrote this blurb, in your OPINION "no one can seriously think that there is any future in the charade of parliament and political parties", but in everybody else's opinion far fewer people think anarchism offers anything remotely resembling viable alternatives. If Anarchism ever changed anything this Bookfair would be illegal.......
