To Anyone who has been doing this a while...

[anarchista666]

I need some help. I am a new anarchist and I am really eager to be active in the movement. I have been doing little tiny things around my community to raise awareness but I believe I am truly not doing this right. So...

To Anyone Who Has Been Doing This A While:

What are the best ways to take direct action in my community and help raise some kind of awareness?

And...

What resources should I be looking at to further my knowledge of Anarchist Ideas and such?

[OneBrickOneVoice]

Join a group or party.

[anarchista666]

Do you have any in particular in mind?

Though I haven't been doing this awhile, and am a new Anarchist myself, I can say that going to the links down below would help you out tremendously, and I suggest learning all you can, and to do DA work, you could take LeftHenry's advice and join up with a good organization in your area, which is what I am also trying to do.

Start a food not bombs, organize a group for discussion, start a zine or newspaper, anything is a possibility.

I don't know. I'm not an "anarchista". I'm part of the Revolutionary Communist Youth Brigades, but they are Maoist. If you're looking for something anarchist, try Red & Anarchist Action Network, they are ultra-sectarian anarchists.

[Mujer Libre]

^ Those are all great ideas. You could also get a reading group going if enough people would turn up.

You could also get involved in other autonomous collectives, that may not be explicitly anarchist, but due to their nature often have anarchists in them, to meet more people.

1) I am an affiliate of this group and I am NOT an anarchist!

2) Yeah, opposing the authoritarian left is suuuuuure "ultra-sectarian"! :rolleyes:

All hail Lord Mao! Dude...so I was flipping through my little red book the other day...and I was trying to figure out which section the "starve your own people" and "political re-education camps" were at. Hit me up if you know.

How is this constructive, and or how does this add to the thread?

if you have a critic on Mao era china, and or on Marxist-Leninist-Maoist theory (don't we all, :P), then make another thread and address it, don't sit here, and post idiotic sectarian bullshit.

[Nachie]

Trashing Leninism is NOT sectarian! Nobody calls it sectarian to bash nationalists, nazis, capitalists, or any number of other groups who have no legitimate claim to radicalism, so then why shed tears over the red fascists?

Besides, LeftyHenry was the first person to make a random "sectarian" attack in this thread, as I addressed above.

[Krasnaya]

Oh god. The middle class produces such reactionary trash. Im glad it is limited to the first world.

[Aurora]

Would you ever fuck off Nachie!and you consider yourself a marxist?!?!

Red Fascist is a term used by people like you who burned crops in the USSR

[Chocobo]

Yah, as organic revolution said, i'd suggest you do the communal things/individual things.

LeftyHenry, Iwouldn't suggest parties or anything. Personally, I think if anyone gets involved in politics in that degree, your lost. Politicians, no matter which side, aren't to be trusted. If their under a party, their under guidelines, and thats not to be trusted.

No!

[Rollo]

As far as I can see there's a hammer and sickle at the top of this page. The symbol of the bolshevik party, we have as much right to be here as you.

[Red October]

way to derail a thread guys.

if you want to get active, you can join groups, like many others have said. you can also hand out literature at social events or provoke discussion with people you know. if you have the skill and are willing to take the risk, graffiti can be helpful in raising awareness, even if its just a message scrawled on a bathroom wall.

[anarchista666]

thank you red october for sticking to the topic

geez you guys

Welcome to RevLeft. :rolleyes:
