No 2010 Olympics on Stolen Land - Talk Thurs 4th in Brighton

Cowley Club | 31.05.2009 22:36 | South Coast

A presentation and discussion on Thursday, 4th May, 6pm at the Cowley Club, Brighton, with a comrade from Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada, to exchange ideas and experiences of anarchist thought and action, with a focus on resistance to the 2010 Winter Olympics in Vancouver.



Social War is Everywhere - No 2010 Olympics on Stolen Land.

The “Bosses Grand Idea,” the Olympics, aptly termed by Greek anarchists in
the time leading up to the 2004 Athens Olympics, is coming to Vancouver in
2010. We say it is already here. Before winning the Olympic bid in 2003,
urban development, tourism and resource exploitation were heavily promoted
as a way to sell BC on an international level. Not just an event, the
Olympics functions to market this land, through ski resorts, mining,
shipping ports, highways and security; to catalyze and secure the projects
of the bosses. The Olympics serves to enforce projects of exploitation and
social control across British Columbia that will, in many cases, integrate
and bolster capitalist infrastructure internationally.

Initially, anarchists in British Columbia, were inspired to participate in
anti-Olympics efforts by the ongoing indigenous resistance to ski-resorts
and development, destroying land and ways of life. By continuing in
long-term pre-existing struggles, indigenous resistance is at the
forefront of the anti-Olympics fight.

Thursday, 4th May, 6pm, Cowley Club social centre, 12 London Rd, Brighton BN1 4JA
followed by tasty vegan evening meal served at 8pm, 'beef' pie only £3.
