Ditch Coal – have anarchists swapped sides in struggles with the coal industry?
Coal Action

In the 1980’s anarchists battled alongside miners to save the coal mines, now anarchists fight to end the coal industry. A workshop from the Coal Action Network looking at why this change has come about and examining the global social justice and ecological impacts of the UK’s addiction to coal.

Introduction to green anarchism
A green anarchist

Why do so many anarchists care about animal rights and environmentalism? This workshop seeks to clarify why resisting oppression goes hand in hand with green politics. The topics discussed will include anti-speciesism, social ecology, deep ecology, and total liberation. Around half the session is reserved for open discussion.

Swimming against the stream, the challenge for revolutionaries
Communist Workers’ Organisation

Capitalism faces its longest ever unresolved crisis. In Britain we find ourselves between the illusion in state capitalism spearheaded by the Corbynistas or a rejection of the revolutionary potential of the working class (communisateurs, Paul Mason etc). A discussion for those who want proletarian revolution not capitalism with a left face.

Anarchy: rules!
Ruth Kinna & Thomas Swann

How do/should anarchists agree principles of association and rules of co-operation? Are these principles and rules constitutional statements? Can safe spaces policies, social spaces agreements and rules governing disagreements be agreed by consensus, or do principles like anarchy or non-domination matter too? Come and discuss this contentious topic.
