2nd Libertarian Communism Dayschool

2nd ACG Day School:
Libertarian Communism 2019

Saturday: October 5th 12:30- 5:30 May Day Rooms- 88 Fleet Street, London (https://maydayrooms.org/)

In its second year, Libertarian Communism 2019 gives those interested in libertarian/anarchist communism an opportunity to come together to develop our ideas on important current issues. This year there will be two sessions.

Women organising in the workplace

The women’s movement and working women have used a number of different organising models and methods since the late 60s and early 70s in their fight against patriarchy and exploitation at work. These struggles have taken place at work itself as well as within the trade union movement, revolutionary politics, political parties and the legal system, with varying degrees of success. Often we have felt as attacked and beleaguered by our ‘comrades’ as by our exploiters. We have tackled discrimination, fear, sexual harassment and humiliation and tried to build solidarity, strength, power and confidence through consciousness raising, practical and theoretical debate and self-organisation and direct action. What are the issues facing working class women today and what can we learn from past experiences in order to make our struggles more effective?

Climate change and capitalism

There will be three speakers including a student involved in the strike movement. We will focus on the following issues:

· review of current climate change movement

· how we implement in practice an anti-capitalist strategy that links the workers movement with the environmental movement?

· how far can technology be relied upon to combat climate change?
