The anarchist movement conference,deep thought from someone who couldnt be there

One of Doorpeople from Bradford conference98 | 07.06.2009 14:38 | Analysis | Globalisation | Social Struggles | World

From title it seems organisers have anarcho patent though I still wish I could have gone& that it went well.The Anarchist movement has been going for over a hundred years,its diverse& anarchists inspired what little modern day democracy we have. I wish work+ finances& allowed me to go too.

On The Four themes

Movement or why we aren't one..........
We are often based in theory & cando too many demos without building up unions,cooperatives & mutuals to

Resistance or are we futile?...........
Sometimes dont we resist too much it seems against what little democracy we have that is being eroded by corporations? Although we need to working class based, we dont need to use rigid class analysis or it divides us


Anarchism has been its most effective when it has had its roots in the workers movement. How and why was this? And why has it changed? What do we and other working class people do as we face deepening recession? What does working class mean today? What possibilities are emerging for a society-wide questioning on capitalism and the state? Are anarchist ideas fit for purpose?
Ideas into reality and what's in between?...................................Working class based movements do lead peoples movements, anarchism needs to campaign for more social & economic direct demcracy & get out of the ghetto.


Anarchist ideas have always been characterised by imaginative and uncompromising visions of what a future free society would be. We all have our own personal visions of how society may be like without all the shite we have to go through – work, housing, poverty, boredom, powerlessness. How do we get from here to there? Can we find common cause despite our differences and turn our dreams into reality?................
Yes we can move on from corrupt corporations with mutual aid, cooperatives & syndicalist power!:)



Would you agree with Crasses song that went like this if I remember right, I know you want to include people from other class in a working class movement, but Marx a middle classer backed by corporate industrialist Engels himself & Bakunin came from a aristocratic backgground, wording divides anarchism as a peoples movement
W/C,M/C its all of shit,
W/C,M/C its all of shit,
its all a load of shit



Lets hope that abit of £$ doesnt divide us again in the future.
For the £7,500cost of the conference I know people who could have made v large portable luxury portable geodomes or polytunnels& could have done up a van to move them, lets do it
