Yeah, so, a couple of months back, a couple of us started an anarchist collective in Sydney known as "Alarm".
It's a youth Anarchist Collective.
Anyway, I was wonder if anyone has any tips we can use for organizing and what forms of propaganda would be most affective to use?
We're slowly organizing a zine, and have spoken about posters, etc.

As well, any thing that we should add to our Manifesto-thing to improve it?

It's on this page. (https://lists.riseup.net/www/info/alarmcollective)


cheers,

good idea, for what specific age group?

"Youth".
It's directed mainly at students and young people (who fit into that age) - but it's termed as "youth" because not all young people go to school, and a lot work (Which is the case for a couple of comrades in the collective).
The idea is to have a space where Anarchist youth can organize and feel comfortable.

its also a chance to spread ideas to high school students who otherwise would most likely have little access to any form of information or organising of this sorts until they go to university (if that's what they do) or are bombarded (and possibly scared off) by some "socialist" groups.

Get active in the underground music scene, if there is one. Do it particularly in the hip-hop and hardcore/punk/metal (I link them together because there are so many crossovers that they have nearly become integrated into one another) scenes because those would generally have the most potential as they are both rooted in the working class and have a history of rebelling against the status quo.

Well, we've thought about that, but there's a possibility that it could come off as unwelcoming to some people because of that very reason, particularly if we concentrate on something like the punk scene to much.

Unwelcoming to who for what reason? I'm kinda confused what that post means. Do you mean unwelcoming to people wanting to get active if there is too much concentration on a punk scene (depends what you would call the "punk scene" in Sydney :lol: )?

Yes, yes indeed.
