It was attended by 30 Greenpeace office staff and at least another 25 online. He was asked to speak about his experiences and thoughts about the McLibel case and campaign, about London Greenpeace (which had been set up in 1971, 6 years before Greenpeace UK), and about his nearly 50 years as a community activist - mainly in Haringey. </span></p><p><span style="caret-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px;">He was invited as Greenpeace UK are reviewing their priorities as an organisation and as part of that considering the importance of community organising and action, including by their local support groups. They also want to be more involved in and supportive of current wider movements.</span></p><div class="WordSection1" style="caret-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px; page: WordSection1;">Dave speaks for about 15 mins, followed by 45 minutes of questions and discussion. He was able to distribute paper copies of the original, inspirational Greenpeace Broadsheet produced by Peace News in 1971, a 4pp History of London Greenpeace, and information about the Friends of Parks movement across the UK (as he is currently the Chair of the National Federation of Parks and Green Spaces).

The hugely popular television programme <i>Alfred Hitchcock Presents</i> ran from 1955 to 1965 in parallel to the most acclaimed period of Hitchcock’s film-directing career. Filmmaker Dominic Stinton traces the story of the <i>Alfred Hitchcock Presents</i> show and how it influenced Hitchcock’s public persona, his relationship with collaborators such as actress Vera Miles and his filmic output, culminating in his greatest critical and commercial success: <i>Psycho</i>. Throughout his long career, Alfred Hitchcock engaged with Freudian themes in his films, none more so than in his celebrated late trio of psychological thrillers: <i>Psycho, Vertigo</i> and <i>Marnie</i>. In <i>The Convergence of Psycho, Vertigo and Marnie: You Freud, Me Jane?,</i> artist Rebecca Asghar takes a closer look at these three key Hitchcock films, examining Freudian motifs such as The Mother, The Uncanny, The House, The Male Gaze and Voyeurism. Finally, in <i>Psycho at 60,</i> guest speaker local historian Gary Lewis tells the story of Hitchcock's best known film, its conception, casting, influences and aftermath.</span></p><p class="p15" style="font-family: Garamond; font-stretch: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px; min-height: 12px;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><i></i><br /></span></p><p class="p12" style="font-family: Garamond; font-stretch: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><i>Saturday 12</i><span class="s4" style="font-stretch: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; line-height: normal;"><i><sup>th</sup></i></span><i> March 2022</i></span></p><p class="p16" style="background-color: white; font-family: Garamond; font-stretch: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px;"><b><span style="font-size: medium;">Hackney Downs: The School that Dared to Fight and Didn’t Deserve to Die</span></b></p><p class="p16" style="background-color: white; font-family: Garamond; font-stretch: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px;"><b><i><span style="font-size: medium;">Speakers: Betty Hales and Jeff Davies, the last Head and Deputy Head of Hackney Downs School</span></i></b></p><p class="p16" style="background-color: white; font-family: Garamond; font-stretch: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px;"><b><i><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></i></b></p><p class="p17" style="background-color: white; font-family: Garamond; font-stretch: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: medium;">In July 1995, Hackney Downs School won a prolonged battle to stay open, against a corrupt, incompetent Local Education Authority, convincing the full council to vote against the recommendation of its own Chief Education Officer: an amazing<i> </i>victory, yet just ten days later<i> </i>it was taken over by the East London Education Association, a quango set up by the then failing Tory government, desperate to put the blame for all social ills on anyone but itself.<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span>The school was closed with unseemly haste & callous cruelty to pupils, parents & staff.

In this landscape, Black lives have been rendered as troublesome, perceived as having little value. Young people’s lives are increasingly informed by what it means to be poor in an affluent world, of feeling trapped and stuck in a system that appears to offer few routes out, on, or up. <i>Terraformed</i> is my attempt to connect the dots, locate the struggles, the wins and the losses of young Black lives within a structural, institutional and historical context. In the UK, simmering below the surface of luxury new builds and technological advance, the ever-widening gap between rich and poor, haves and have nots, is revealed via the sonic landscape, rising levels of violence and increasingly punitive measures to contain it. I will discuss the process of writing <i>Terraformed</i>; a ‘messy ethnography’ that uses a framework of hyper-local demarcation to analyse the impact of austerity, neoliberalism and racism in a specific neighbourhood [part of Forest Gate.] While there’s little doubt that young Black lives are lived with and through levels of disadvantage, we can’t underestimate the hope that comes from creativity in all its forms. I therefore consider how hope for the future & a better world isn’t just desirable: it is essential to our survival.’ Joy’s book will be on sale tonight.</span></p><p class="p19" style="font-family: Garamond; font-stretch: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px; min-height: 12px; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><i></i><br /></span></p><p class="p12" style="font-family: Garamond; font-stretch: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><i>Saturday 9</i><span class="s4" style="font-stretch: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; line-height: normal;"><i><sup>th</sup></i></span><i> July 2022<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span></i>*** Vi Gostling Memorial Lecture ***</span></p><p class="p23" style="font-family: Garamond; font-stretch: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px;"><b><span style="font-size: medium;">The Overlooked Palestinians<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span><i>Speaker: Andy Simons<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span></i></span></b></p><p class="p23" style="font-family: Garamond; font-stretch: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px;"><b><span style="font-size: medium;"><i><span class="Apple-converted-space"><br /></span></i></span></b></p><p class="p17" style="background-color: white; font-family: Garamond; font-stretch: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: medium;">Although the exiled Palestinian diaspora is worldwide, most of the refugees are in a dozen camps throughout Lebanon, a failing state like no other.

This well suits 'Big Food', the corporate industrial producers and retailers. We need to reclaim our food systems by taking back control in our own communities: eating seasonally, collecting seed, producing more locally, building fair economic relationships with farmers and food producers locally and abroad. It requires us to embrace agroecology and rethink our relationship with food whilst challenging land use and corporate power.

She presented, with Janine Booth, on Marxism and Autism, followed all the news about Universal Basic Income, and participated in climate actions. Dinah was a fervent proponent of technology, working on proposals to develop software to have on tablets that could be distributed to Autists in care so that they can communicate outside and raise any issue affecting their care. Dinah often wrote letters to compliment or complain so that organizations could improve. Of course, Dinah was also very supportive of Autistic artists and Autistic Pride events; she regularly attended the <em style="box-sizing: border-box;">Hyde Park Autistic Pride</em> picnics and proudly sported a homemade "<a href="https://neuroclastic.com/2021/03/01/march-4th-is-weird-pride-day/" rel="noreferrer" style="background-color: transparent; box-sizing: border-box; color: #0073ec; text-decoration-line: none;" target="_blank">weird pride</a>" badge as well as her "productive irritant" one.</span></p><blockquote class="v1wp-block-quote" style="background-color: white; border-left: 0px transparent; border-right: 0px transparent; box-sizing: border-box; color: #0f3c51; font-size: 16px; margin: 0px; overflow: hidden; padding: 0px; text-align: left; text-overflow: ellipsis;"><p style="box-sizing: border-box; margin-bottom: 1rem; margin-top: 0px;"><span style="font-family: arial;">Since realising I was part of the autism world some fifteen years ago, I have met many inspiring, clever, and kind autistic people – but none quite as inspiring, clever, and kind as Dinah Murray. A warm and cultured friend, Dinah would insist on serious, political conversations taking place over a delicious lunch or a pleasant walk. We presented alongside each other on several occasions, on capitalism, socialism, Marxism, autism, and neurodiversity. The general pattern was that I would give a flashy slideshow, then Dinah would follow up with some softly-spoken, brilliant insights. She knew very well that academic efforts alone would not liberate autistic people, so was active in campaigns and political initiatives to fight injustice and improve autistic lives, including attending the launch of <a class="v1glossaryLink" href="https://neuroclastic.com/glossary/neurodivergent-2/" rel="noreferrer" style="background-color: transparent; box-sizing: border-box; color: #0073ec; text-decoration-line: none;" target="_blank">Neurodivergent</a> Labour in 2019 and support its work since then. Dinah was thoroughly non-judgemental and always encouraging. When the history of how we won autistic liberation is written, Dr. Dinah Murray's name will feature prominently.</span></p></blockquote><p style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #0f3c51; font-size: 16px; margin-bottom: 1rem; margin-top: 0px; text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: arial;">------------------<br style="box-sizing: border-box;" /></span></p><p style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #0f3c51; font-size: 16px; margin-bottom: 1rem; margin-top: 0px; text-align: left;"><span style="box-sizing: border-box; font-weight: bolder;"><span style="font-family: arial;">Homily</span></span></p><p style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #0f3c51; font-size: 16px; margin-bottom: 1rem; margin-top: 0px; text-align: left;"><em style="box-sizing: border-box;"><span style="font-family: arial;">Ask 'Is that so?' of every claim you make<br style="box-sizing: border-box;" /></span></em></p><p style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #0f3c51; font-size: 16px; margin-bottom: 1rem; margin-top: 0px; text-align: left;"><em style="box-sizing: border-box;"><span style="font-family: arial;">If you imagine you're the centre of the show,<br style="box-sizing: border-box;" /></span></em></p><p style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #0f3c51; font-size: 16px; margin-bottom: 1rem; margin-top: 0px; text-align: left;"><em style="box-sizing: border-box;"><span style="font-family: arial;">Control the urge to say and see and do<br style="box-sizing: border-box;" /></span></em></p><p style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #0f3c51; font-size: 16px; margin-bottom: 1rem; margin-top: 0px; text-align: left;"><em style="box-sizing: border-box;"><span style="font-family: arial;">Don't laud the beauty of a good intent,<br style="box-sizing: border-box;" /></span></em></p><p style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #0f3c51; font-size: 16px; margin-bottom: 1rem; margin-top: 0px; text-align: left;"><em style="box-sizing: border-box;"><span style="font-family: arial;">Don't say, Oh Yes it must be done, and mop your brow.<br style="box-sizing: border-box;" /></span></em></p><p style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #0f3c51; font-size: 16px; margin-bottom: 1rem; margin-top: 0px; text-align: left;"><em style="box-sizing: border-box;"><span style="font-family: arial;">And now you've made these sentiments so neat,<br style="box-sizing: border-box;" /></span></em></p><p style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #0f3c51; font-size: 16px; margin-bottom: 1rem; margin-top: 0px; text-align: left;"><em style="box-sizing: border-box;"><span style="font-family: arial;">----------------------------</span></em></p><p style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #0f3c51; font-size: 16px; margin-bottom: 1rem; margin-top: 0px; text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: arial;">Dinah was active in the High Holloway Against the Poll Tax group in the early 1990s, making their banner and attending demonstrations.

A <a href="https://radicalhistorynetwork.blogspot.com/2013/02/report-of-rahn-meeting-6th-february-2013.html">previous RaHN meeting looked at the tradition of radical pamphleteering</a> and self-publishing that followed the invention of the printing press.
<p>Arguably podcasts are a manifestation of this tradition, but with radio / broadcast media - a hugely more accessible way of spreading the word than pirate radio...
</p><p>Anyway, below is a rundown of radical history podcasts I have enjoyed. If you can recommend others, please leave a comment below. I am especially interested in hearing about black history or feminist history podcasts, but I am sure there are lots of others.

<b><div style="text-align: center;"><b>Working Class History</b></div></b><p>Engaging documentation of working class struggles around the world, often including interviews with participants. For example the story of the Columbia Eagle Mutiny (about the hijacking of a ship full of napalm by two anti-war American sailors during the Vietnam war) features extensive reflections by one of the mutineers.
</p><p>Closer to home there are episodes on The Angry Brigade (with John Barker), women in the Miners' Strike, The Peterloo Masscare (with Mike Leigh) and the Asian Youth Movements in Bradford.
</p><p>Working Class History is now up to 50 episodes and has various related projects including a book and a spin off podcast on working class literature.

<p style="text-align: center;"><b>The Log Books</b>
</p><p>This podcast has a much narrower scope - it is based on the logbooks of calls made to London's Lesbian and Gay Switchboard from the 1974 onwards. The entries are brought to life by the presenters - and by contributions from many Switchboard volunteers past and present.
</p><p>It's an incredibly effective way of telling the story of the resilience and tenacity of LGBT+ people in the UK in the late 20th Century. The entertaining tales of odd things that callers have asked about is artfully intertwined with very affecting tales of coming out, or everyday prejudice. Ordinary and extraordinary lives are the foreground to larger societal issues like the HIV and AIDS epidemic or homophobic legislation including Section 28.
</p><p>The Log Books is a great podcast to recommend to friends who enjoyed the recent Channel 4 drama "It's A Sin" which covers the same era and issues.</p><p><a href="https://podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/the-log-books/id1483782744">The Log Books on Apple Podcasts.</a>

<p style="text-align: center;"><b>Bed Of Lies</b></p><p>One of the roles of radical historians is to draw links between past and present struggles. But sometimes those links are forced upon us. Bed of Lies is a podcast about the struggle of women activists who were deceived into relationships with undercover policemen (Spycops). It is, surprisingly, produced by <i>The Daily Telegraph</i>, but don't let that put you off.
</p><p>The narrative is driven by the women and their struggle for justice. The scale of the infiltration of activist groups and the trauma faced by its victims can be quite bewildering - I think the best thing about Bed of Lies is the way that it draws together the various strands whilst retaining the human stories underpinning it all.

<p style="text-align: center;"><b>History Workshop</b></p><p><i>History Workshop Journal</i> was founded by Marxist historian Raphael Samuel and others in the 1970s. They now have an occasional podcast.
</p><p>Topics are wide-ranging but can tend a little too much towards the academic for my personal tastes. Having said that, I do categorically recommend two episodes which are configured as walking tours of London - one on Marx's various haunts in the city and one on the irascible anarchist and atheist Dan Chatterton.

<p style="text-align: center;"><b>Bad Gays</b></p><p>There is a natural tendency for radical history to tell the heroic stories of struggles - and strugglers - that have been obscured by the conventional version of events. Bad Gays turns this on its head by focussing on complete wrong 'uns - who happen to be gay. Each episode covers the life of one person.
</p><p>In parallel to this there are fascinating insights into "what being gay" (or rather, experiencing same sex attraction) might have meant at various points in history.
</p><p>The Bad Gays universe is lavishly diverse - colonialist statue Cecil Rhodes brushes up against entertainers like Liberace and Morrissey. Objectively terrible people like Ronnie Kray or nazi-skinhead Nicky Crane are discussed alongside more complex individuals like Radclyffe Hall and John Maynard Keynes. </p><p>Each episode concludes with two simple questions that yield interesting discussions between the hosts: Was this person gay? Was this person bad?</p><p><a href="https://badgayspod.com/">Bad Gays website.</a></p><p></p><p></p><p></p><p></p><p></p><p></p><p></p><p></p><p></p><p></p><p></p><p></p><p></p><p></p><p></p><p></p><p></p><p></p><p></p><p></p><p></p><p></p><p></p><p></p><p></p>John Edenhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16337918276419889082noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4096690447802445485.post-20160371334594338372021-02-12T20:47:00.003+00:002021-02-13T10:08:32.518+00:00Ken Weller 1935-2021A <a href="http://radicalhistorynetwork.blogspot.com/2015/06/comradely-80th-birthday-greetings-to.html">previous post on this blog</a> celebrated Ken Weller's 80th birthday and the influence he had on us.
So we were greatly saddened to hear of his death recently, but also amused by this absurd press cutting posted on Twitter by <a href="https://twitter.com/cspannos/status/1354104987643748353?s=20" target="_blank">Chris Spannos</a>:

<p>A <a href="https://www.anarchistcommunism.org/2021/01/29/obituary-ken-weller-1935-2021/">more sensitive obituary</a> has been posted by Nick Heath (a former RaHN speaker) at the Anarchist Communist Group's site.
<p>An archive of Ken's writing, including his essential <i>Don't be a Soldier! The Radical Anti-war Movement in North London, 1914-18</i> is available at <a href="https://libcom.org/tags/ken-weller">Libcom</a>.
<p>Kate Sharpley Library were inspired by Ken's passing to post some thoughts on <a href="https://www.katesharpleylibrary.net/q83dd9" target="_blank">Don't be a Soldier</a>.
<p>A Ken Weller reader is apparently being published in due course by PM Press.

</p><div class="moz-text-flowed" lang="x-unicode" style="font-family: -moz-fixed; font-size: 13px;">This month is the 50th anniversary of the Great Post Office Strike of
1971. It is said that it was the longest mass strike (200,000 workers,
for 44 days) since the 1926 General Strike. Although it was ultimately
unsuccessful/sold out, it led to decades of greater shop-floor
self-organisation and militancy in sorting offices..

‘Safety’ Smith</a></span>, joined four years later by sister Alison. Her <span class="MsoHyperlink"><a href="http://smothpubs.blogspot.com/2019/04/">early childhood</a></span>
is recollected as a time of street games and unsupervised freedom on long
summer days and it was this vision of Stornoway that stayed with her in later
years. Her parents, large extended family, the wild landscape and stifling <span class="MsoHyperlink"><a href="http://smothpubs.blogspot.com/2017/11/all-sundays-were-long-days-in-isles.html">social
mores</a></span> of the island provided an ongoing source of inspiration and rebellion.
An outstanding and prize-winning student, she developed a facility for
languages and history in particular. The family moved to Dingwall in 1959,
where younger sister Marjory arrived just as Liz was preparing to go to <span class="MsoHyperlink"><a href="http://smothpubs.blogspot.com/2018/02/">Aberdeen
University</a></span> to study history in 1964 at age 16. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";">It
was in Aberdeen that her interest in politics crystallised, as she became an
active member of <span class="MsoHyperlink"><a href="http://smothpubs.blogspot.com/2016/03/ycnd-when-it-was-all-kicking-off-in.html">Youth
CND</a></span> and left-wing societies, attending regular meetings and hops.
She developed her lifelong internationalist, libertarian socialist outlook,
joining Faslane protests, a peace march to Paris, and hitch-hiking across
Europe to an <span class="MsoHyperlink"><a href="http://smothpubs.blogspot.com/2017/09/prelude-to-1968-lake-como-italy-summer.html">anarchist
camp in Italy</a></span> in the summer of 1967. After attaining her MA in
History, she chose Belfast to pursue a course in library studies, because it
"seemed like an interesting place to be in 1968" and found herself on
her second day in the province helping Bernadette Devlin up during a civil
rights march. It was in this heady atmosphere that she met her future husband,
Roy Willis. They married in 1969 and Janetta was born in 1970. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";">As
the political situation deteriorated, the young family moved to London, where
Mark was born in 1972. Roy’s social work course took them to Muirhouse housing
scheme in <span class="MsoHyperlink"><a href="http://smothpubs.blogspot.com/2019/05/a-council-flat-in-edinburgh-1972-74.html">Edinburgh</a></span>,
where Liz found time to get involved with tenants’ rights and demos in support
of the miners and other causes. Returning to London in 1974, they settled in
the borough of Ealing, where she spent the majority of her life. She found her
political home in the shape of Solidarity for Workers’ Power, remaining an active
member until its demise in 1992. Amongst her many contributions was the
pamphlet <span class="MsoHyperlink"><a href="http://smothpubs.blogspot.com/2015/11/">‘Women in the Spanish Revolution’</a></span>,
which remains a key text on the subject. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";">While
looking after young children she stacked shelves in Sainsbury’s before finding a
position at the Medical Research Council library at Hammersmith Hospital. Some
of her most treasured memories were family holidays in Europe, allowing her to
practice her proficiency in several languages and absorb her interest in the
history and culture of places that she could still recollect clearly 40 years
later. Her thirst for knowledge continued as she collected four diplomas and
her activism was undimmed as she took on new causes such as the Polish
Solidarnosc movement and provided support to an Iranian refugee friend. In the
90s, divorce and grown-up children allowed her more time to concentrate on her
writing, research and book reviews, joining Medact’s Medicine, Conflict and
Survival journal editorial board in 1991, which she served on until her final
year, and for which </span>she wrote well over 100 items. <span style="mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";">She also participated in the
London Socialist historians’ group, Anarchist Research Group and other radical
history forums. As grandchildren appeared in the new century, she proved to be
a devoted grandmother, from knitting baby clothes to excavating archive
materials to help them in their studies. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";">She
started the ‘<a href="http://smothpubs.blogspot.com/">Smothpubs</a>’ blogspot
in 2011, (so named after a mix-up when helping police with their enquiries),
with articles on a range of subjects including local and family history and
including a mine of material on conscientious objectors. When diagnosed with
cancer last year, she carried on through chemotherapy and a clinical trial,
taking it as an opportunity to learn about the latest medical research and the
state of the NHS, for which she was always committed but for most of her life
never had much cause to use. She was appreciative of the NHS staff’s efforts to
treat and support her in this time. Over the past year living in Walthamstow,
she showed little sign of slowing down, continuing her trips to the British
Library, Housmans bookshop and local libraries. She continued to collect material
for her blog and the Radical History Network blogspot, and even found time to
do translation work for an anarchist research project and take part in the E17
Art Trail. She managed regular trips to Scotland, including a flying visit to
Stornoway to see her uncle Donald Smith’s retrospective exhibition and retrace
childhood footsteps. It was only in the last month or so that the disease took hold,
but she remained a ‘free rebel spirit’ to the end.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;">For any entries that appear under your name or for which you otherwise have direct information, please be so kind to let us know if there is anything there to change, correct, or add. We would also appreciate it if you could send to the relevant bibliographer (see the e-addresses and postal addresses listed on each bibliography) any other references to texts written by yourself or by others, in any language, that would concern us. For information regarding bibliographies in languages not yet posted, please send this information to the bibliography project coordinator, David Ames Curtis <a href="mailto:curtis@msh-paris.fr" style="color: #1155cc; font-family: arial, sans-serif; text-decoration-line: none;" target="_blank"><curtis msh-paris.fr=""></curtis></a>.

<span style="font-family: "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;">Please also note that, as they go about their research, the bibliographers often compile on the side a list of "brief mentions" (passing references, mere footnote citations, etc.) of Castoriadis and/or Socialisme ou Barbarie and his/its work. Even though these "brief mentions" have not yet been compiled in any systematic way, it would be appreciated if you would also bring such "brief mentions," by you or by others, to the attention of the respective bibliographers or of the bibliography project coordinator.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="color: #999900;">WE HAVE RECEIVED THE FOLLOWING ANNOUNCEMENT: Annual Symposium: Cornelius Castoriadis in the Antipodes, November 29th, 2019, the University of Sydney, AAIA Rm 480 Madsen Building. CALL FOR PAPERS: AUTONOMY AND PHILIA (</span><strong style="color: #999900;"><span style="line-height: 16.96px;">ΑΥΤΟΝΟΜΙΑ</span></strong><strong style="color: #999900;"> </strong><strong style="color: #999900;">ΚΑΙ</strong><strong style="color: #999900;"> </strong><strong style="color: #999900;">ΦΙΛΙΑ</strong><span style="color: #999900;">) IN CORNELIUS CASTORIADIS' LIFE AND THOUGHT. Drawing from Aristotle's suggestion that "…cities are held together by</span><span style="color: #999900;"> </span><em style="color: #999900;">philia</em><span style="color: #999900;"> </span><span style="color: #999900;">[friendship] and legislators should study it more than justice," we want to explore</span><span style="color: #999900;"> </span><em style="color: #999900;">philia</em><span style="color: #999900;"> </span><span style="color: #999900;">as found in Cornelius Castoriadis' theoretical thinking and understanding of politics. Since his youth Castoriadis established life-long friendships with many individuals whose life, ideas and practical engagement had a permanent presence in his own work. The symposium wants to bring together the abstract and the concrete, the life of the philosopher with the social ontology of his theory. During the one-day meeting, we would like to explore the concept of political or civic friendship especially within the overall Castoriadis project to restore democratic politics to the immediacy and radicalism of their origins in classical Athens. After the recent death of the philosopher and friend Agnes Heller, papers are invited to address friendship as political virtue in contemporary anti-political societies. Key-Note Address: Professor John Rundell, The University of Melbourne, "Celebrating Imagination: Elective Affinities between Agnes Heller and Cornelius Castoriadis." Entrance Free. All Welcome. Sponsored by the Department of Modern Greek and Byzantine Studies; School of Languages and Cultures, The University of Sydney.</span><span style="color: #999900;"> </span><span style="color: #999900;"><strong>N.B.: The above message arrived electronically at Agora International via the following e-address: <a href="mailto:vrasidas.karalis@sydney.edu.au" style="color: #1155cc; text-decoration-line: none;" target="_blank">vrasidas.karalis@<wbr></wbr>sydney.edu.au</a> Despite a follow-up query, no final deadline for this "Call for Papers" about "friendship" has been communicated to us.</strong></span></span><br />

<span style="font-family: inherit;">In 2005 the McLibel case defendants, after the longest trial in English history (vs the McDonald's Corporation), celebrated a legal victory at the European Court of Human Rights. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: inherit;">See <a data-saferedirecturl="https://www.google.com/url?q=http://www.mcspotlight.org&source=gmail&ust=1569316248544000&usg=AFQjCNF751yIyVVjQALbtg1o_abUs0b7Zw" href="http://www.mcspotlight.org/" style="color: #1155cc;" target="_blank">www.mcspotlight.org</a> This capped a 15 year long successful global campaign of publicity and defiance against McDonald's attempts to suppress criticism.

<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">On October 23rd, 230 people from over 80 local and national organisations took part in a historic <b>Freedom To Protest conference in North London</b>. The conference was organised by and for campaigns and groups affected by recent repressive laws and measures being increasingly used by the government and companies to try to suppress public protest and dissent. Participants pledged to help develop and support effective strategies for standing up for the public's freedom to protest against injustice and oppression.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">There was a very wide and diverse range of local and national organisations supporting and taking part, including: Aldermaston Women's Peace camp; Birmingham Guantanamo Campaign; Campaign Against Criminalising Communities; Campaign Against the Arms Trade; Campaign to Close Campsfield; Cardiff World Development Movement; Corporate Watch; Friends of the Earth; Gate Gourmet strikers; Genetic Engineering Network; Haringey Against ID Cards; Hunt Saboteurs Association; Legal Defence and Monitoring Group; London Rising Tide; McLibel Support Campaign; Newham Monitoring Project; Parliament Square Peace Campaign and Brian Haw Supporters; Peace News; Rhythms of Resistance; Schnews; School Students Against the War; Torbay & District Trades Union Council; Trident Ploughshares; Undercurrents; and the Veggies Catering Campaign.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Those present shared their experiences and views in order to promote mutual aid & co-ordination between organisations, and to inspire and empower each other. At the end, participants sent out some positive and determined messages:</span></div>
<span style="background-color: #f4cccc; font-family: inherit;"><span style="color: #222222;">- Wherever there is injustice or oppression, there is protest and resistance </span><br style="color: #222222;" /><span style="color: #222222;">- Repression will never succeed in silencing public dissent and protest</span><br style="color: #222222;" /><span style="color: #222222;">- Any oppressive laws can be rendered unworkable through increased protest, non-co-operation and defiance.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222;"><br /></span></span>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<strong style="box-sizing: border-box;">Saturday 12th October 2019</strong></div>
<strong style="box-sizing: border-box;">Bristol Radical History Group (<a href="https://www.brh.org.uk/">BRHG</a>)</strong> and the <strong style="box-sizing: border-box;">Remembering the Real World War I Group (RRWWI) </strong>have organised a full programme of events<em style="box-sizing: border-box;">,</em> in collaboration with our hosts at <strong style="box-sizing: border-box;">M Shed.</strong></div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #333333; font-family: notosans_regular, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; margin-bottom: 12.5px;">
Again, we will reveal hidden histories, debate and agitate for a future of better pasts. </div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #333333; font-family: notosans_regular, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; margin-bottom: 12.5px;">
The 2019 festival has two main themes:</div>
<ul style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #333333; font-family: notosans_regular, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; margin-bottom: 12.5px; margin-top: 0px;">
<li style="background-image: url("images/q.svg"); background-position: 0px 6px; background-repeat: no-repeat; background-size: 0.65em; box-sizing: border-box; list-style: none; padding-left: 1.2em;"><strong style="box-sizing: border-box;">1919: Year of Revolutions</strong></li>
</ul>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #333333; font-family: notosans_regular, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; margin-bottom: 12.5px;">
The aftermath of the<strong style="box-sizing: border-box;"> First World War</strong> was one of the most revolutionary moments in the Twentieth Century. Following the Russian Revolution of 1917, there were revolutions and uprisings across Europe, in Germany and Hungary, and beyond, in Egypt and Mexico. In Ireland, 1919 would witness the establishment of a separatist parliament in Dublin, an escalation of guerrilla warfare and the establishment of a ‘soviet’ in opposition to British rule. In Britain, these were tumultuous times as thousands of rebellious troops returned from the front-line demanding immediate demobilisation, whilst mass strikes broke out on the railways and amongst miners and engineers threatening a syndicalist takeover. We look at what happened, what was at stake and the legacy of the ‘Year of Revolutions’ in Bristol, Britain and Ireland. </div>
<ul style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #333333; font-family: notosans_regular, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; margin-bottom: 12.5px; margin-top: 0px;">
<li style="background-image: url("images/q.svg"); background-position: 0px 6px; background-repeat: no-repeat; background-size: 0.65em; box-sizing: border-box; list-style: none; padding-left: 1.2em;"><strong style="box-sizing: border-box;">Green History: from 18th Century roots to Extinction Rebellion</strong></li>
</ul>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #333333; font-family: notosans_regular, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; margin-bottom: 12.5px;">
Our second theme features the history of concern for the environment. We will cover more than two centuries from origins of ‘green’ awareness during the <strong style="box-sizing: border-box;">Romantic</strong> era through to first-hand accounts from those who took part in late-twentieth-century activism and Black2Nature, who campaign for inclusion and ethnic diversity in environmentalism. How can green history inform present-day debates during the resurgence of environmental concern on the part of Extinction Rebellion, Youth Strike 4 Climate and Earth Strike?</div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #333333; font-family: notosans_regular, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; margin-bottom: 12.5px;">

<strong>An Attempt at Anarcho-syndicalism in a time of crisis<br />Shiri Shalmy</strong><br />
<br />
Over the past five years, <a href="https://www.uvwunion.org.uk/">UVW </a>members won significant improvements to pay and conditions through militant workplace organising and a diversity of direct action tactics. Recently, UVW started organising sex workers, legal workers and cultural workers - three sectors that were typically un-unionised and considered unorganisable. This autumn, UVW members will take strike action across seven different workplaces, including universities, hospital and the Royal Parks, where they demand the London Living Wage, occupational sick pay and an end to the exploitative practice of outsourcing. </div>

<div>
In this talk, I will revisit some earlier work on the idea of anarchist education as prefigurative practice to explore some of the tensions suggested by such work. Drawing on <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hannah_Arendt">Hannah Arendt</a>'s reflections on educational authority and on recent work on utopian pedagogy, I will explore ways in which, from an anarchist perspective, these tensions can be seen as productive pedagogical tensions rather than weaknesses.</div>

<h5 style="color: #26282a; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: small; font-weight: normal;">The Army Bureau of Current Affairs (ABCA) is mainly known for its alleged contribution to the 1945 Labour landslide. However it was also an extremely radical experiment in adult education. Constructed by the ‘radical general’ Ronald Adam & his civilian adviser W. E. Williams, the originator of Pelican Books and later of the Arts Council, & based on a critique of the tutorial class method that had become traditional in the WEA, it set out to engage the highest possible proportion of the army’s three million conscripts in lively discussion, both of how the war was being conducted and of current affairs more generally.</span></h5>
<h5 style="color: #26282a; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: small; font-weight: normal;">To do this it trained many thousands of junior officers in how to conduct genuinely open discussions, as well as producing stimulus material in the form of booklets and maps that still look modern today. Extensive use was also made of drama and film. All this was done in the teeth of opposition from senior politicians & sections of the army high command. At the end of the war, attempts were made to extend approaches developed within ABCA to civilian adult & further education.</span></h5>

<span style="font-family: inherit;"> </span><span style="font-family: inherit; text-align: justify;">Matt’s political life began in early adulthood, culminating in his 2005 election & two re-elections as head of the FBU. He was listed in ‘The 100 Most Influential People on the Left.’ As a firefighter in Silvertown and Hackney, he was a very active union member. Campaigns and strikes have centred around compensation for firefighters killed at work; climate change and flooding; austerity; the effects of ‘localism’ on the service; reinstatement of suspended colleagues; pay & pension disputes; the Grenfell disaster. He sits on the TUC Executive Committee & featured on a Radio 4 documentary after deciding to take a salary at the average amount of a firefighter. He lives in Leytonstone.</span></div>

<strong>Mental Health Discussion Group</strong><br />
<strong>Housmans Bookshop</strong><br />
Monday 23 September @ 7:00 pm - 8:30 pm, Free<br />
Hal, who some of you met at the last Autonomy Now talk, is a registered therapist. He has noted that political anxieties – such as Trump, Brexit, Boris Johnson, racism, elitism, sexism, climate catastrophe etc – are being increasingly cited as a cause of considerable distress. In response, he wanted to create a supportive environment to discuss these issues, emphasising the impact the current political climate has on our collective psyche and on our emotional wellbeing.<br />
Booking preferred.

<div style="background-color: white; color: #505050;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">As part of the Library's 'Not just Peterloo' series of events, looking at the policing of popular protest, a free witness event on<strong> Thursday 3 October at 2pm</strong> brings together a panel of people who were at the Manchester demonstration on 26 November 1969 against the controversial South African rugby tour. 7,000 people marched, to be met by nearly 2,000 police officers. 150 protestors were arrested, with 77 charged.<br />The discussion will include why the protest was so large, the second largest of the whole tour (the Anti-Apartheid Movement organised protests at all 26 matches), and why the police acted so decisively with the chief constable telling the press afterwards they could say the demonstrators were frightened.<br />All are welcome. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , "trebuchet" , "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">Autumn 1969 and Spring 1970 saw demonstrations and pitch invasions of grounds to disrupt the Springboks rugby team - representing apartheid South Africa - as they toured Britain and Ireland. Organised by the Stop the Seventy Tour Committee with the support of the Anti-Apartheid Movement, this mass civil disobedience in the face of police brutality successfully stopped the 1970 South African cricket tour and future cricketing tours until apartheid fell - a victory for anti-racists everywhere and a tremendous example of international solidarity. <span style="color: #660000;"><b>We are researching the campaign and its roots for a pamphlet to be published early next year to mark the victory - and would very much welcome testimony or memories from any involved in this inspiring campaign. </b></span></span></div>

It consolidated a new stage in labour-property relations and the role of labour in the development of anonymous capital. This industrial dispute<br /> was about a national framework agreement on collective employment relations and bargaining. It transformed employee organisation and divided the employers’ organisation, benefiting, on the one hand, the central sectoral industrial labour unions to the detriment of trade organisations and, on the other, the anonymous corporations to the detriment of personal ownership of industrial enterprise.</span></div>

Many thanks to everyone, we had a great weekend at the Nottingham Contemporary.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Almost 500 people (not counting the ones who came in, looked confused and wandered off again) saw and engaged with our exhibition of local alternative and radical news media.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Many thanks to everyone who joined us to celebrate these wonderful materials, to everyone who promoted the event, helped putting it up and taking it down again, to those who donated more materials (some very good stuff will be added soon!) and of course many thanks to the Notts Zine Library and everyone at the Nottingham Contemporary for hosting the event and supporting us all weekend.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
We are pretty exhausted but very happy. A proper update with photos and all will follow soon.</div>

<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Letter from Germany</span></b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b> written before the result of the <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/July_1932_German_federal_election" target="_blank">elections</a></b></div>
<br />
Comrade <a href="https://bianco.ficedl.info/mot8046.html" target="_blank">Styr-Nhair</a> asks what readers of <i>l'en dehors</i> think of the crisis - I answer that it's the crisis of all crises, of all the thinking of the past, including socialist and anarchist ideas, the supreme crisis of human civilissation, the birth of a new humanity and a new civilisation.<br />
<br />
It is preferable to observe the crisis here in Germany, as a crisis of civilisation and of humanity, rather than that of any other country in the same financial or agricultural situation.<br />
<br />
The workers are responsible for the crisis, however, because in the midst of capitalism they think in the capitalist way, as sellers of their labour power, their <i>merchandise</i>.<br />
<br />
Today those who hold power and those who hold merchandise are caught in the same crisis: the difficulty, I should say the impossibility, of selling. But like the capitalists, the workers think there must be a way of selling, whereas there is none, either for the workers or for the capitalists.<br />
<br />
That is why I am firmly convinced that the birth of a new civilisation and of a new humanity is in the offing, in spite of the workers and capitalists and of the state socialists who are trying to prevent it and striving to have them aborted.<br />
<br />
This civilisation will involve neither buying nor selling, nor employers, nor employees, which is clearly indicated by the tendency of the present crisis.<br />
<br />
The only possible solution, as an inevitable consequence, is to bring about this transformation consciously; but the workers, including the anarchists, think that this state of affairs is not on the way and is not possible. And all of them clamour for wages for their labour - new masters (their "comrades") who won't be that any more (Russia is reckoned to have 16 1/2 million waged workers [<i>figures and exact meaning of statistic unclear</i>]).<br />
<br />
They demand insurance against unemployment, and higher wages - for some, the ones in unions - which they could only get by increased prices, when there was trade with other countries. In Germany, millions of workers who paid union dues all their lives are deprived of the expected benefits, such that only those who have worked continuously for a year can receive an allowance that lasts a few weeks and even that on condition that they will not refuse to work in whatever conditions.<br />
<br />
The other day an old comrade told me that if he had kept all the dues paid over to the union he would have several thousand marks. Latterly, a leader of the metalworkers' union stated proudly that when business is going well, the union has plenty of money. If not, the coffers are empty. I pointed out to him in a public meeting that the interests of his union are inexorably tied to capitalist commerce (as is the case in Russia). He got angry and retorted that I was a Brahmin who exploited the Untouchables. I answered that he was the Brahmin of workers and exploited them by hiring out labourers to capitalism in the capacity of intermediary, and pocketing the surplus (i.e. the difference between the pay of unionised workers and those in the union), thanks to the combination of one set of workers against the interests of the working class as a whole. He couldn't answer me.<br />
<br />
Unionised workers' wages are actually brought down to that of the non-unionised, once their contribution is paid. The dues are handed over to the union, in the way of an employment agency, monopolising jobs in factories and offices.<br />
<br />
The employers use those "workers' leaders" to discipline the real workers, while the workers for their part think their interests are being served. The workers' leaders have no right or possibility of struggling to save the workers' jobs, even those of their members, since the employers have the right to put them out the door when they want to, under a pretext or for some reason or other.<br />
<br />
The whole trade-union system is a corruption of the capitalist system, but in an idealised form. Unfortunately, the unions are being dissolved by the lack of disposability of products, work and money. At the present time German unemployed who can't pay their dues are pushed out of their old unions like outcasts - so much the better! That will make them think, and feel.<br />
<br />
The situation in Germany is different from the description given of it by all political parties, and even by the anarchist papers, which still think in the capitalist political way. Fear of fascism and hope for Bolshevism are still held among us, even by the opponents of fascism and Bolshevism. Anarchists and syndicalists are themselves obsessed by those two fears, preferring the second as "the lesser evil". But clear-sighted observation shows that neither is possible in the situation of 1932, which is different from that of Russia in 1917 and Italy in 1922.<br />

The spirit of the people is too realistic and too materialist for fascism and bolshevism to satisfy it, and the situation in Germany and the world is getting worse daily, without the fascists or Bolsheviks being able to do a thing. Just as in 1917, when everyone in Russia expected no solution but monarchy or a republic, it was a third thief that grabbed power - marxism - so in Germany where everyone is obsessed by the idea that history can have only two outcomes, fascism or bolshevism, they will find themselves side-by-side with anarchy, and that without the anarchists having even suspected or made preparation for the situation. All forms of the State will become impossible in the present crisis, which is not simply that of lack of money and commerce, but also the impossibility of getting any financial system to work in the world.<br />
<br />
Naturally, even syndicalists and anarchists hope that capitalism can be revived by fascism or Bolshevism, via inflation and international money markets, with or without the gold standard. This shows that they have no faith in their own "isms", however certain of their realisation they were wont to appear.<br />
<br />
With Germany in a state of impossibility of having a government, the whole of Europe will gradually fall into the crater, first eastern Europe, then Russia, then the West. There is no hope of struggling against the avalanche, however prepared all governments may be at present.<br />
<br />
What will the anarchists do? They'll mutter against all governments and against the Marxists in particular for having led everyone into this impasse, as if the latter were responsible for the anarchists themselves refusing to prepare for the situation, refusing to make plans or to discuss what they would need to do, or to spread their ideas for fear of ridicule or of being with respectable people who can only shake their heads..!<br />
<br />
I think the present government will be the last in Germany, the same in Britain, with or without accompanying civil war. It's not surprising that (Ramsay) Macdonald is afraid, even though he adopts an attitude of calm and certainty about the solution. - Perhaps Hitler will be thrown out? Perhaps the labour leaders will be hanged? Because neither can supply the work and cash they promise and they are sure to disappoint their supporters - when the latter ask them to fulfil their pledges.<br />
<br />
It's a volcano with everyone putting on a dancing show on top of it; since they feel they can do nothing about the situation, they pile up crises - to divert their supporters' attention from their own inadequacies, for fear they'll be discovered to be mistaken or to promise more than they can deliver, or because they're madmen going for broke. Personally, I think all the parties are afraid that the burden will fall on them, and want to be defeated. There cannot be any union between the different workers' parties in the crisis of power, because each tries to establish its own authority over the others as is logical in the struggle to seize power.<br />
<br />
As Marxists, they can't profess anarchism outright; even if they unite on some sort of "democratic" basis they could not by themselves supply work, or bread, or revitalise trade, or revive finances, the only condition on which their government would work. Therefore anarchy is very close to carrying the day in Germany. But what is the proletariat going to do?<br />

A fairly large French-English dictionary translates <i>partouse</i>/<i>partouze </i>as 'orgy', which doesn't quite fit; here it carries possible connotations of promiscuity, multiple partners, group sex parties... but in a semi-organised and (to and for some sections of society) borderline-acceptable fashion.

Revolution and Loving Comradeship"</i> which is not a critique but a
rehash of the reflections that such a work can trigger in a bon-bourgeois
(alias bourgeois getting past it).<o:p></o:p></span><br />

me of writing, all by myself, "355 pages of ravings", which shows
that this critic hasn't read the book he claims to be reviewing. More than half
the volume is taken up with extracts from letters, articles not penned by my
poor hand, as well as by the transcription of an <i>investigation </i>looking
precisely at the "loving comradeship" theory. In this <i>investigation </i>I
see the names of <a href="https://www.panarchy.org/devaldes/devaldes.html" target="_blank">Manuel Devaldès</a> and <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/G%C3%A9rard_de_Lacaze-Duthiers" target="_blank">Gérard de Lacaze-Duthiers</a>, colleagues on
the review journal in which this character set down his wafflings. Clearly not
a shining example of generosity to one's co-writers. But what can you expect

going to play the game of arguing with Saint-Alban on the subjects of sexual
ethics, erotic phenomenology, biology or physiology. He wouldn't understand a
word, poor chap. Frankly I consider him unworthy to do up the shoelaces of the
least Carpocratian, legalist or perfectionist [<i>adherents of ancient sects</i>].
Their members included women and men who not only ran the risk of persecution,
they died under terrible torments for the sake of their ideas. This is of
course beyond the comprehension of a bon-bourgeois, more likely to expire from
insufficient mental capacity.<o:p></o:p></span><br />

would have liked it if instead of my "335 [<i>sic, 355 above</i>] pages of ravings" I
had published a "handbook of pleasure". No doubt something on the
lines of the "32 positions", "<i>L'examen de Flora</i>", or I don't know what else. An exciting,
spicy, satisfying handbook. He doesn't understand that the book is purely about
ideas, and he has read so little of what he purports to criticise that he takes
me up specifically on something I've come back to several times, in that I can
only conceive of the loving-comradeship idea being put into practice in the
context of a developed, selective milieu in which "comradeship" has
been raised to a very high concept and is not considered complete unless it includes
the ways in which feelings and sexuality are experienced. Practice as a
consequence of theory and not the other way round. Ethics before instruction. I
keep trying to get across the point about loving comradeship only being
comprehensible at a high level, that it can only be absorbed by those who
breathe the air of the peaks and not by those creeping about in the swamps. Waste
of time. You'll tell me Saint-Alban is incapable of grasping those things. Of
course! But still!<o:p></o:p></span><br />

starts talking right away about 'houses of ill repute' and 'watching through
the key-hole'. Naturally. Never having visited such a house, I don't know if
one feels jealous there or not, but what I do know is that in order to write
what he does, my critic must necessarily be familiar with a social scene that
has nothing in common with one where you might find people capable of belonging
to a loving comradeship cooperative. But for pity's sake, look at the
mentality: I propose "loving comradeship" and this character's mind
immediately leaps to "brothel" and "voyeur"!!<o:p></o:p></span><br />

offers as a basis for relationships "present-day multi-partnering" (<i>partouzisme </i>-
pluralism, for short). Naturally. We can see how his ideal is the hypocritical,
arrogant, vain pluralist male looking down from his motor-car on the comrade
who, often more sensitive and educated than him, doesn't flaunt a tailor-made
suit and neither has a car nor can afford sea- or sun-bathing. Not to mention
that in order to look good among his own set, the pluralist will often provide
himself with a companion in the form of some old bat disguised as a woman of
the world, supplied by a corner meeting-house and paid handsomely. Thanks for
the - "liaison".<o:p></o:p></span><br />

enough, the bon-bourgeois suggests I might be the high priest of a sexual cult
whose priestesses would share with me the gleanings from pious offerings (<i>sic</i>)!
How's that for "healthy and new".<o:p></o:p></span><br />

the customary stupid remarks: bringing in the "very orthodox but very old
and very repulsive female companion". That reminds me of the objection
made to Tolstoy a thousand times to counter his doctrine of not resisting evil
with violence: "But what if you were out walking with a little girl
and a mad dog jumped at her?" Moreover, in Saint-Alban's mind, the fact
that someone doesn't need the state to agree a contract and respect its
clauses, or doesn't give a tuppenny damn [<i>stronger in French</i>] about bourgeois
moral values, means that they would have no notion of personal care and
hygiene, they wouldn't wash or clean themselves. Looking after one's body is
only something for prostitutes and pluralists (<i>partouzards</i>), of course.<o:p></o:p></span><br />

<b>"Loving comradeship" or "partouzisme" </b>[Editorial comment, <i>l'en dehors</i>]<br />
<br />
Some of our readers may be surprised at first sight to find us being so hostile to "promiscuity" whereas we have sometimes referred to it under the heading of reaction against sexual conformism. If we have happened to mention sleeping around, as a matter of fact, we see it for what it is and what it's worth: an offshoot of bourgeois sexual morality. Admittedly, it seems to allow for a sort of sexual free-for-all (I'm not saying "sexual communism", which is a quite different thing) but.looking closely it quickly becomes apparent that this promiscuity is confined to a certain class, most often full of contempt and presumptions, with no ideological concept - which may be fair enough - but practising social hypocrisy in its most repellent aspects. Apart from their assignations, the pluralists behave like respectable observers of family traditions and customs and established morals... Don't try talking to them about scientists or learned research concerned with sexual matters or focused on the problem of erotic fantasies, for example. They'd laugh in your face. They have no long-term view and no perspective... 'Pluralism' is in no way aimed at reinforcing friendly connections among its participants. It's a free brothel available to "men of the world".<br />
What a gulf between that and the idea of loving or erotic comradeship, even putting aside all ideology, in which the participants are aiming to strengthen the comradely links that already join them, by completing and making them whole....<br />

In a recent issue of <i><a href="https://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Candide_(journal)" target="_blank">Candide</a></i>, Mr. Jacques Fayard tries to show that there is nothing harmful or immoral about women displaying themselves in the attire of Eve, and that they're not doing anything different from what other women do. They're earning an honest living - at least, the vast majority of them are.</div>
</div>
<div style="text-align: start;">
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
</div>
<div style="text-align: start;">
<div style="text-align: left;">
The purpose of nude cabarets is the one pursued by any cattle show or exhibition of prize animals - it's about making money from the capital invested by the owner, <i>i.e.</i> turning a profit. The women on display are doing it to order, taking up such and such a pose, making such and such a gesture, in return for a "fair wage". Respectable spectators go into the establishment where they are appearing, pay the set rate of entry, partake, and the show supplies the desired sensations to their overheated brains, but that's the only place where they can satisfy their desires. Furthermore, it is perfectly possible that they haven't bothered to think about what would bring them pleasure, and it's quite simply the cabaret's owner or manager who takes the trouble to imagine the sensation or pleasure to match the cost of entry.</div>
</div>
<div style="text-align: start;">
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
</div>
<div style="text-align: start;">
<div style="text-align: left;">
Nude cabarets have nothing in common with <b>voluntary associations of nudists</b>. If the young women were showing off their bodies for <b>their own pleasure</b>, or even from vanity, there would be <b>nothing corrupt </b>in that, even if curious persons handed over an entrance fee to them or to the owner of the place where they expose themselves. Well, the shows in nude cabarets are necessarily and purely mercenary. As is the work of typists. As is the basis of our life as a whole. But then, why stigmatise prostitution as immoral or incompatible with ethics? It is in this sense that the young women showing their nakedness in the cabarets are as respectable as any wage-earning woman.</div>
</div>
<div style="text-align: start;">
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
</div>
<div style="text-align: start;">
<div style="text-align: left;">
The prostitute who says she "hasn't worked today" is in the same position as the merchant or shopkeeper saying he "hasn't sold anything today". Both are trying to earn money. It is solely from this point of view that young women who display themselves naked in cabarets should be judged. To see them as happy good-time girls is incorrect, even when they are proud of their profession. To speak about morality or respectability in our communal life is purely and simply hypocritical and perverse. The same goes for immorality or depravity of anyone in the society we're working in.</div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<blockquote class="tr_bq" style="text-align: left;">
<span style="background-color: #f3f3f3; font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;">Pursuing an argument in the pages of the French anarchist paper <span style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: 12pt;"><i>l'en dehors,</i> Indian anarchist writer M P T Acharya (as featured on <a href="https://radicalhistorynetwork.blogspot.com/2019/07/anarchism-and-voluntary-associations.html" target="_blank">earlier post</a>) explored questions that were to come to the fore in discussions among libertarians and others decades later, notably women's liberation and the politics of the personal. In attempting to demystify the supposed brave new world of the Soviet Union in this regard, he may have exaggerated the positive in the pre-revolutionary situation of Russian women, but made valid points, for example about the necessarily limited capacity of the state to prescribe for personal fulfilment.</span></span></span></blockquote>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , serif; font-size: 12.5pt;">Comrade <a href="https://data.bnf.fr/fr/11107046/eliezer_fournier/" target="_blank">Eliézer Fournier</a> is mistaken in thinking that liberation of women and of marriage were due to the Soviet government. Before the war, Russian women had more freedom than the women of western Europe. Being married wasn't considered necessary in order to live together, even for people of 'good reputation'. It was not held to be indecent if a person went into another's room without being fully dressed. The universities, in and outside Russia, had a higher number of women students of Russian nationality than from the countries of western Europe. The immensely significant and risky part played by women in the liberation movement is well known. Even women of the upper class had gone over to the workers, and stayed, like (Alexandra) Kollontai and Vera Figner. People from the democratic countries who came to live under the Tsarist régime had found more democracy and less prudery among men and women in Russia than in parts of Europe with more advanced ideas.</span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , serif; font-size: 12.5pt;"> After the Revolution, it was
noted that women from Muslim regions of Russia were more active in agitating
for female emancipation than those of Moscow, who only cared about attending to
their appearance and going dancing - just like the 'leaders' in fact.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , serif; font-size: 12.5pt;"> The communists tried to arrange their own homes in the
bourgeois style current in other countries, and to keep their wives in a
bourgeois frame of mind. As one communist said: 'The first act of the
Revolution, for communists, was to get divorced from their proletarian wives
and marry aristocrats.' (Numerous instances could be cited in support of this
assertion). The sum total of women's activity is to join the public services
and become bureaucrats - which is happening now in western Europe. If to become
members of the police, soldiers, prison warders or torturers constitutes
'liberation', the Bolsheviks gave them the opportunity, no question. But the US
and other countries do the same. China has its women's battalions too.
<a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Amanullah_Khan" target="_blank">Amanullah </a>[Khan]'s father had female gendarmes as his bodyguards in the harem.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , serif; font-size: 12.5pt;"> Russian women were always free in the best sense of the
word, and were consequently considered 'shameless' in western Europe. The
number of their substantial literary productions was greater than at present;
there were even more doctors pre-war than today.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , serif; font-size: 12.5pt;"> But Tatar women always had the benefit of being free of the
veil and liberated from illiteracy; they were more advanced than
emancipated Turkish women.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , serif; font-size: 12.5pt;"> What the Bolsheviks did in the name of liberation was to
assume no responsibility as far as women's economic situation was concerned,
even while invoking liberty and responsibility. It's true that their laws state
all women are free to marry and divorce as they like. But they were used to
doing that in the time of the Tsars. As for insurance provision for divorced
mothers, the same law exists in the capitalist countries. The State does not
provide for the needs of divorced mothers, but it makes the man or men
indicated by the mother pay maintenance. - I recently heard of a young man who
had to pay nine-tenths of his wages to feed nine children.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , serif; font-size: 12.5pt;"> As for those women who are not economically indispensable
(like working women), they can do a lot of things they couldn't have done
before. They can accuse four or more men of being the father of their only
child and get payments for upkeep from them all. If that's freedom, it's also
engendering and encouraging corruption among women - without the Russian state
taking on the responsibility as it claims. Similar corruption is practised
professionally with the protection of the State in all countries, including
Russia.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , serif; font-size: 12.5pt;"> The only good thing the Soviet government has done is to
free women from being forced to bring children into the world, but without
supplying them with means of contraception. But other countries are coming
round to the idea of the need for a right to abortion. In the prevailing
conditions, the cost of abortion is as prohibitive in the USSR as it would be
in other countries, if it was allowed. Preventive methods are cheaper and
better for health, it's true. But in either case, they have to be purchased.
Hence the necessity for abortion, costly and dangerous as it is, in Russia as
in other countries.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , serif; font-size: 12.5pt;"> The Soviet government has not abolished prostitution, as in
its original banning of it on pain of prosecution, it even derives a source of
revenue from it. It has even set up 'houses of sexual satisfaction in the
interests of the people's health' - based squarely on those unfortunate women.
Even in capitalist countries, brothels are considered physically, morally and
intellectually dangerous... We only read the Soviets' propaganda
line about sexual regulation and regularising, we don't think about hunger.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , serif; font-size: 12.5pt;"> In fact, the Soviet government is like any capitalist
system or the Catholic religion: it can only exist by doing business. It can
authorise and legalise certain freedoms in matters of sexuality, but its
business and its interest are at the same time to punish and to encourage the
'evil' as in capitalist regimes, it cannot liberate women from economic worries
and harassments.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , serif; font-size: 12.5pt;"> As long as the government does not supply the means of
everyone's existence, no law and no regulation in favour of liberty, health and
ethics can secure those things. Poor people will have to profit from those
corrupting laws, simply in the interests of their continued existence. The best
laws are powerless against debauchery and poverty because decrees are the
result of the misery created by the law-makers. No government, however
well-intentioned, can obtain food and life for all, with or without work. It
can only prevent millions of people from eating and working and punish those
who infringe those limitations and restrictions (called law and order). To make
generous laws without granting the means to use them is to act in a
contradictory way, to neutralise and prevent the realisation of 'good
intentions'. Laws and 'good intentions' (or arrangements) are mutually
destructive. Laws are incompatible with freedom, but they are necessary faced
with the <i>force majeure</i> of statist economics.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , serif; font-size: 12.5pt;"> Hence so many shameful contradictions and abolition of
laws 'to make freedom stronger' such as one even finds in a soviet state.
Suppress or abolish the State and no law is of any use, and liberty and the
economy generally will benefit from their disappearance.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , serif; font-size: 12.5pt;"> However, there cannot be any authorised or imposed
communism in sexual relations. Sexual matters are part of individual freedom,
as between the partners. In this case, you cannot train people up to partake of
sexual pleasures without denying freedom and pleasure. Responsibility from the
sexual viewpoint cannot either be made instantaneous by 'improving' or
'regularising' sexual freedom, a system which seems to arouse the enthusiasm of
Comrade Eliézer Fournier. But blind admiration for Russian Soviet marriage laws
is rooted in the capitalist habit of thinking (or rather <i>not thinking</i>) that the
Bolsheviks are going too far. That can only please the bourgeois who are blind
in sexual matters, who make no difference between liberty and libertinism and
condemn both. -<o:p></o:p></span></div>

I thought that there might never be another revolution in Western Europe in my lifetime so if I wanted to see history being made I had better get over there a.s.a.p. Four days later I was in the Sorbonne. This account is a personal record of what one man saw and heard (and smelt) in Paris in May 1968. It is cobbled together from the pages of the diary I kept at the time, the photos I took and my memories. I worked as a translator in the students' Press Dept and I experienced the bullets and the barricades at first hand. As for interpreting what it all meant, I'll leave that to others."</span></div>

<span style="background-color: white; color: #3f3f3f; font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: 14px;">As many of you will now be aware, on June 20th the Court of Appeals ruled that the UK government’s licencing of the sale of arms to Saudi Arabia that were used in the devastating war in Yemen was unlawful. Since then, the government has now been forced to suspend export licences for Saudi Arabia and its coalition partners for weapons that may be used in the war in Yemen.</span><br />
<div style="background-color: white; color: #3f3f3f; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;">
This is a positive first step, but <strong><a data-saferedirecturl="https://www.google.com/url?q=https://civi.medact.org/sites/all/modules/civicrm/extern/url.php?u%3D2604%26qid%3D245881&source=gmail&ust=1562577684261000&usg=AFQjCNHcFm--t7vWWHqfQWpPKTOxEzkdZw" href="https://civi.medact.org/sites/all/modules/civicrm/extern/url.php?u=2604&qid=245881" rel="nofollow" style="color: #1155cc;" target="_blank">we must go further in order to end the cycle of violence</a></strong>. The UK government continues to fuel the arms trade to countries that have been and are complicit in mass human rights abuses and destruction in places such as Yemen and Gaza.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #3f3f3f; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;">
Arms fairs such as the <b>Defence and Security Equipment International (DSEI)</b>, taking place once again this <b>September in London’s ExCeL Exhibition Centre</b>, facilitate the sale of arms from the UK and all around the world. A number of companies who exhibit weapons and technology at DSEI have sold arms to Saudi Arabia, Israel, Kazakhstan and Turkey.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #3f3f3f; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;">
Take action with us by signing and sharing our open letter to the Secretary of State for International Trade urging him to commit to not hosting or supporting arms fairs such as DSEI.</div>

<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /><strong>Wed 10 July 7pm</strong> Jennifer Luff <em>State surveillance of the 20<sup>th</sup> century left</em></span><span style="font-family: inherit;">From the early 1920s through the late 1940s, the British government operated a very large programme to identify, blacklist and dismiss suspected Communists working in HMG's munitions factories, shipyards and scientific establishments. This programme was kept secret from British workers and the British public, and it has remained so to the present day. This talk tells the history of Britain's secret red purge and reflects on its implications for modern British history and contemporary politics.</span><span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span><span style="font-family: inherit;"> Jennifer Luff is Associate Professor, Department of History at Durham University.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span><strong style="font-family: inherit;">Wed 17 July 7pm </strong><span style="font-family: inherit;">Joanna Gilmore </span><em style="font-family: inherit;">Lessons from Orgreave: policing, protest and resistance</em><span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span><span style="font-family: inherit;">In October 2016, then Home Secretary Amber Rudd ruled out a public inquiry into the ‘Battle of Orgreave’, arguing that “very few lessons” could be learned from a review of practices of three decades ago. The policing landscape, she suggested, has “changed fundamentally” in recent years, “at the political, legislative and operational levels”. In this talk Joanna will challenge claims of a progressive shift in the state’s response to protest and dissent since the 1980s. Drawing on empirical research into the policing of anti-war, anti-fascist and anti-fracking protests, she will highlight the continuing relevance of Orgreave, and the policing of the 1984-5 miners’ strike more generally, for contemporary policing practice.</span><span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span><span style="font-family: inherit;"> Joanna Gilmore is Lecturer in Law at the University of York researching public order policing, human rights and community-based responses to police misconduct. She is a founding member of the Northern Police Monitoring Project.</span><span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>

<span style="font-family: inherit;">The
subject of voluntary association, as discussed by Brand in<span class="apple-converted-space"> </span><i>L'en dehors</i><span class="apple-converted-space"> </span>with reference to creating those associations in the economic sphere... is a most important one. I am convinced personally that economic
association of this kind (which would enable individuals as much as communists
to participate, as well as other anarchists) is not only possible, but is among
the easiest to bring about. If it is neither possible nor easy, that amounts to
saying that anarchists have nothing better to offer than a philosophy and a religion: the promise of a better
life in another world. Well, anarchism must open the way to a better
economic world <i>down here</i> - it must be
in a position to provide the lever that everyone can operate to raise up humanity, pull it out of the present chaos and shift it on to the path of
unlimited progress. To get there, anarchists need to distance themselves on a
daily basis not only from the path of anarchist 'tradition' of one kind or
another but from the path they've followed up to now.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"> But... I continue to
believe that economic anarchism cannot have to do with means of exchange and
its implications, money or paper credits. All
exchange must necessarily lead to capitalism - and to conflict of interest. The idea of exchange is a capitalist idea, better
suited to marxism: whether it's a prostitute hiring out her body for money, a
married woman living with a man because of some kind of 'love', the worker
selling his physical and mental capacities for a wage paid out by the state
(even one comprised of his comrades)... That is why I am for the abolition of the notion of exchange in
anarchism. Either you are happy with production and enjoyment TOGETHER, or not:
if yes, you are anarchists. Otherwise you are impelled by another interest,
production, and the various ways of joining together (associations) are
only means to your ends - and what you are going after is dictatorship, yours
or that of others.<o:p></o:p></span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"> Anarchism without exchange means production in common and enjoyment in common as the only
logical solution, and the simplest, in anarchist terms. How can we make this a reality? It looks
very difficult, almost impossible at first sight, so that all we have to fall
back on are capitalist mechanisms of exchange, in other words, exchange via the
dictatorship of a party (elected or slf-appointed)
over the rest. The apparent difficulty or impossibility arises quite simply
from a lack of synthesis in our thinking.<o:p></o:p></span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"> What does anarchism demand? The
annihilation of dictatorship, euphemistically called regulation, by one party
over the rest. This annihilation can only be made effective by <i>direct democracy</i>,
that is by making authorities, even those elected locally or by a wider geographical
area, useless and impossible. The idea of 'direct democracy' implies acceptance
of the principle of<i> individual sovereignty in regard to what concerns the
individual when it comes to choosing which association he [or she] wants to join..</i>. He chooses the one
that suits him or puts forward new ideas about how associations might function.
No-one can exist without associating...
The idea of anarchism is to act in such a way that through the variety of its
aspects association will include all human beings without exception. Any
exclusivity, any ruling-out of association is contrary to anarchism, aristocratic,
dictatorial, whether or not anarchists are involved.<o:p></o:p></span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"> Direct democracy (founded on
anarchism) cannot be possible between individuals located in opposite corners of
the world. Its realisation must begin first with those closest to each other,
and through them, economically speaking, be applied throughout the world. <o:p></o:p></span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"> If each locality is anarchist and
all localities cooperate, nothing would be easier than to establish economic
anarchism among them all on the basis of production and enjoyment in common. No
need for any exchange of products such as is considered 'necessary' by both individualist
and communist anarchists. Production in common leads to the avoidance of
exchange and implies the need for equal or fair distribution - not to individuals receiving it personally, but to all the
inhabitants of the locality or area. This distribution will happen from time to
time and will include useful items and objects of comfort or luxury, shared
out either equally or fairly - as agreed in advance - within the bounds of
possibility. This arrangement rules out any intervention
from outside in the economic life of the local unit. It is the only anarchist
type of economic administration; any other form necessarily lapses into
centralisation.<o:p></o:p></span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"> Before taking any steps in this
direction, the principles I've just outlined should be spread not only among
anarchists but also among the non-anarchist working class, those who are not resolutely
anti-anarchist. For state socialists and individuals we would
need to initiate particular discussions to show them that their positions -
individual or statist - won't last long and will bring no solution for them... We have to
show them that the present system of retail buying and selling cannot last
long, because of the alliance of the most important businessmen, industrialists
and farmers with the big financiers. Sooner or later they will find themselves
empty-handed in the labour market. Then they'll have to decide between state
capitalism or social anarchism with
direct democracy (where there are only equals and friends), between
dictatorship and freedom, for they can never hope to recover their vanished
capital. It will be too late for them then to embark on anything voluntary. Today is
the time to create voluntary associations on an anarchist basis or to lose
everything they have, even their hopes.<o:p></o:p></span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"> Given that anarchists haven't yet
got enough equipment or capital to build their own organisations - those of
Europe at least, as far as a non-European like me can judge - it is necessary
to push this propaganda among non-anarchists, especially in the countryside. So
let's see anarchists who own land, capital or means of production uniting to produce and
consume on an anarchist basis, that is without exchange or credits.<o:p></o:p></span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"> If it could be shown in this
way to all the others that anarchists of all shades can get along with no more
money than what was needed to start them off, without the system of exchanging
or of wages, without buying or selling among themselves at a profit or loss,
those 'others' will open their eyes and see that it is a question of life or death,
and they too can be brought to join the anarchists on a voluntary associationist
basis. They will realise that, in fact, if undertaken on a larger scale, this
economic organisation would put an end to all the 'crises' and that they would thus
be sure of going on living, in a better way and without risk.<o:p></o:p></span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"> Anarchism consists of
independent economic life with well-being for all - the non-anarchists will be
happy working with the anarchists on an equal footing until they become
anarchists.<o:p></o:p></span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt;">
</div>
<div style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"> If the solution I've proposed can't
succeed among anarchists, the only remaining alternative*, among anarchists and sympathisers capable of providing employment, is to issue credits and employ a workforce in such a way that workers would be sheltered from
unemployment, free from money and stagnation...</span></div>

<div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0cm;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><i>We note that the word anarchist means absence of state or
government authority, hence the uselessness of state and government for
regulating people's inter-relationships. What those relations should be is up
to the anarchists themselves and given the multiplicity of points of view,
desires and personal aspirations it seems unlikely that one universal rule of
conduct, even economic, can be predicated or wished for... [I]t is just as anarchistic to practise
the exchange of products, from the economic point of view, as not to do so, to
use an exchange value as not, to employ the method of advances, credits, etc.
as that of piling up and taking. But none of those ways of understanding the
relations between individuals would bring a return to statism and unification
in any sphere. And that is what is anarchistic: the coexistence of varied systems
of economic life - competing with each other - is the only firm guarantee that
can stand against statism or unification.... - E.A</i>.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
