Decision Making in the Shell of the Old Society

Review of Kim Keyser's "Prefigurative Organizaiton" speaking tour, by Jeremy of the Richmond Left Libertarian Alliance.

On Thursday I attended the talk of a Norwegian anarchist, Kim Keyser, who explored the topic of decision making structures within anarchist organizations. Entitled “The Prefigurative Organization”, Keyser did an admirable job of presenting a number of outside-the-box ideas by which anarchists could realize a powerful yet directly democratic movement. We learned a lot, not only as a result of the talk but also by the open and dialogue-oriented manner in which the meeting was conducted.

Le Camp des «4 sans»: Se mobiliser pour le droit au logement

Du 26 au 28 juin, le Front d’action populaire en réaménagement urbain (FRAPRU) organise à Québec le Camp des «4 sans». L’action vise à permettre aux «sans toit», aux «sans l’sou», aux «sans droits» et aux «sans voix» de prendre le haut du pavé en occupant pendant quelques jours un lieu au cœur des festivités marquant le 400e anniversaire de la Ville de Québec. Pour le FRAPRU, l’objectif est «de frapper l’imaginaire par une mobilisation exemplaire dans le but de faire avancer la cause des locataires».

Le «Droit de cité»

Le 3 juillet prochain, les militaires du 22e régiment de l’armée canadienne paraderont encore une fois dans les rues de la Vieille Capitale. Cette opération de propagande et de justification de l’existence de cette institution archaïque et nuisible porte le nom de «Droit de Cité». À Québec, depuis 1975, c’est le 3 juillet (anniversaire de la ville) que les clowns en rouge avec leurs longs chapeaux noirs tout droit sortis d’un mauvais film de Walt Disney se pavanent en ville, se montrant sans gêne à la population.

Report from the Boston Dyke March



The Boston Dyke March took place on Friday evening, June 13th. The march is a grassroots, non-commercial, alternative to the Pride Parade which takes place the next day. This was our first year tabling at the event, which was great.

The event started at the Boston Common, where people met up and mingled around the gazebo. About 2,000 people turned out for the march. Before dusk, the march hit the streets, making a loop through the Back Bay and returning to the Common. The tone was festive yet defiant. Chants could be heard above the rhythms of the Batucada Belles.

Back at the Common, we held down the NEFAC table, with NEA's, a piece on Queer Liberation and Anarchist Communism, political prisoner info from the Jericho Movement and a flyer in support of the New Jersey 4, a group of working class African-American Lesbians from Newark, NJ who are doing between 3.5 and 11 years in prison for defending themselves against assault. The info was well received, and we were able to raise some funds for the NJ4. As darkness settled in, Zili Mizik opened up the celebration.

Anarchy A to Z, "R" as in Revolution

Our political project, full equality and freedom for all in every sphere of life, is impossible to achieve in the social and political framework that we know.

First, certain people profit from institutionalized injustice and they will not freely give up their privileges. Then, the internal logic of systems of oppression and exploitation -capitalism, state, patriarchy- render any indepth reform impossible.
