greetings from a canadian radical cheerleader!!
i am a radical cheerleader from vancouver, bc, canada, here for several months with another radical cheerleader. since we are not actively involved in planning for mayday actions, we are looking to find out whether a dublin rc squad exists, or whether anybody would be interested in forming one.
interested???????
since there are already two of us, even one interested person would be enough to start up a squad.
we are familiar with a buncha cheers, and if we got our act together could write one or two new ones...
please email me if you know of a way to contact anyone in a current squad, or want to cheer. anyone and everyone.....past present and future RCs.....as always, no experience necessary!
email me at nili@postmaster.co.uk
squad set!

The original Revolutionary Anarchist Bowling League, RABL, was founded in Minneapolis in the mid-1980s. We are now planning to establish an Irish group this summer.
We were a revolutionary anarchist collective that participate in various actions locally and nationally. We are anarchists who believe in anti-authoritarian organization against racism, sexism, homophobia, and capitalism. We believe that an anarchist revolutionary insurrection was ultimately necessary to achieve a free and equalitarian society.
If you anyone is interested in helping to establish RABL in Ireland, please email me or keep an eye out for me on May Day and on all the demos during the Bush visit to Ireland.
If you are looking to set up autonomous anarchist cells/groups then a first step would be to get involved with the people already doing stuff here. A good start would be on Apr 18th for the Mayday organising group in the Teachers Club for the Grassroots. Although there are other autonomous anarchists in the city, they dont really have any formal structure for contact, the GG meetings are the best place to start.
thanks for your input!
what time is the organizing meeting on the 18th?
A press release about the meeting will be issued in the next couple of days.
"We believe that an anarchist revolutionary insurrection was ultimately necessary to achieve a free and equalitarian society. "
Until you think about it.
I'm firmly convinced that an urban society would be unable to function at all without a government. Libertarianism, to me at least, seems like a much more sensible course of action.
"I'm firmly convinced that an urban society would be unable to function at all without a government. Libertarianism, to me at least, seems like a much more sensible course of action."
a convincing argument, but...
anarchism (according to the variety that some subscribe to) is essentially libertarian communism.
i don't think that urban society (with pollution, traffic, homelessness, overconsumption, a political structure based on appropriation, etc. etc.) currently operates very effectively, and that is with lots of government.
besides, most anarchists don't oppose government exactly. anarchists oppose those forces which appropriate control of government ("anarchy" = no ruler). in a more anarchist society, there may be no "government", but simply for the reason that everyone participates actively in "government" political processes.
now, if you excuse me, there is trash on my urban street which needs cleaning up.
are they still recruiting? I'd love to join!
