Speakers for September

Sep. 9th- BARRY PATEMAN - PATTERNS IN ANARCHIST HISTORY ( ONGOING LECTURE
SERIES)

Sep. 16th- RAMSEY KANAAN - WHEN FUCKING THE SYSTEM ISN'T ENOUGH
This talk will focus on Ramsey's experiences as an anarchist organizer in
Scotland with the Edinburgh anarchist org., Community Resistance. It will
look at the various activities, both propaganda and more importantly
activism, that the Community Resistance group was involved in -
culminating in thier five year anti-poll tax organization campaign - and
the conclusions that can be drawn in terms of anarchist organizations,
anarchist groups and vanguards.

Sep. 23rd- LAWRENCE JARACH - POST-LEFT ANARCHISM
"Those of us who are interested in promoting radical social change in
general and anarchist in paricular, need to emulate and improve upon
successful (however temporary) revolutionary projects for liberation,
rather than congratulating ourselves for being the heirs of Bakunin (et
al). We can do this best if we free ourselves from the historical baggage
and the ideological and strategic constraints of all varieties of
leftism."

Sep. 30th- NOAM CHOMSKY - REFLECTIONS ON ANARCHISM
Premier screening of video interview conducted by Barry Pateman at Noam's
house earlier this year.
