When Fucking The System Isn't Enough

30-03-2004 10:21

Audio
Experiences of anarchist organizing in Scotland, leading up to a five-year anti-poll-tax campaign. Includes a look at lessons learned regarding anarchist organizing, anarchist groups, and vanguards.

The talk is broken into 3 parts: 2 halves of Ramsey's presentation and about 30 minutes of discussion afterwards.

[Y note: This is one of the best talks on anarchist organizing that I have heard, and considering the mixed success of the anti-war and anti-globalization movements in the UK today, it seems worth learning as much as possible from past struggles.]

International Demostration Freedom Imprisoned Anarchists 24 April Barcelona

29-03-2004 22:28

From the Coordinating Freedom Imprisoned Anarchists we summoned to a manifestation at international level next the 24 of April in Barcelona, to 18 h. in the Seat of the Cathedral. The logic of the system based on the exclusion, repression and the hardening of the pains cause the continuous increase of the prison population. The dissidence is more and more represaliada as we have been able to state in so many places (Barcelona, Valencia, Madrid, Salonica, Italy...) We see ourselves in the necessity to show our rejection all prison system, thus we make this call at international level to demand the freedom of lxs compañerxs anarchists encarceladxs, and by a world without prisons
JAIL DEMOLITION!
CALL: BARCELONA (Seat Cathedral 18 h.) 24 OF APRIL OF 2004
