Anarchism06 - Discussion day
1 - 6pm - discussions based on current issues along the following themes:-
- workplace struggles
- community struggles
- social struggles
- international struggles
(confirmed so far: autonomous workers struggles with Gate Gourmet, Laing O'rourke workers & tube cleaners; the current uprisings in France from those who have been involved; as well as the recent Broadway Market occupation in Hackney against gentrification; plus a discussion on why today there is so few genuine working class anarchists).
There are still available places if people, or their groups, wish to contribute discussion topics. Should ideally fall within the 4 themes with the emphasis of how anarchism does, or should, positively contribute to these struggles
