Anarchist Communism, neither left nor right but social revolution
Capitalism’s temporary mask of invincibility has once again fallen. Ten years of relative growth and alleged prosperity has left us to where capitalists always lead us, crisis, unemployment, environmental disaster and war. The illusion of sustainability and the absence of recession in the west until now has been bought by the ruthless exploitation of the working class in China, India and other parts of the ‘developing’ world. The historic question has never gone away, though at the moment becomes clearer by the day. Capitalist barbarism or its overthrow, war or revolution.
There’ll be a demo in Nottingham on the Support Vestas Workers’ day of Action on Wednesday 12th August at 5.15pm in the Market Square, Nottingham. See…
Manchester AF is pleased to announce the launch of its new printing operation, Peterloo Press.
Named in memory of the massacre of working people at St Peters’ fields in Manchester in 1819, We’re aiming to make low-cost, good-looking pamphlets available which we believe offer important insights into the history and theory of revolutionary politics. We aim not to be constrained by the classical ‘anarchist tradition’ and to publish works from other schools of thought which also point towards an emancipatory, stateless communist society, such as council communism and other ‘ultra-left’ perspectives.
Germany: More than 250,000 take to the Streets

Protesters demanded e.g. the reorganisation of the very clumsily introduced Bachelor and Master structures, free access to and the democratisation of the education system, smaller classes, and the scrapping of the three tiered German school system (unsurprisingly a persons’ class background and nationality largely determines where they end up).
