An introduction to Anarchism by the Workers Solidarity Movement
When: Wednesday the 3rd December 2008 at 8pm
Venue: Teacher’s Club, 36 Parnell Square West, Dublin 1. (See map attached)
![Click on image to see full-sized version Workers Solidarity Movement](../attachments/nov2008/wsm_logo.jpg) Workers Solidarity Movement The Workers Solidarity movement, an organization of anarchists in Ireland, will host a talk on the economic crisis, its causes and the anarchist alternative. As capitalism yet again drags us all into a crisis we’ll discuss why this keeps happening, why capitalism has always been and always will be unstable, and the effect that this insecurity has on all of our lives.
We’ll talk about how the elites say they’ll solve our current crisis – the G20, Bretton Woods, more regulation or more of the same – and why none of it will stop the boom and bust cycle from happening again. What can stop it is ordinary people taking back control of their lives from the bankers, the property developers and their politicians.
That’s the anarchist alternative. We want a stable and secure society where our elderly and our children don’t have to go on marches to get healthcare and education, and where our young people aren’t bogged down in debts that will take a lifetime to repay. We want to leave the next generation with a system that works, with a real democracy.
As capitalism fails us again, more and more people are prepared to work together to fight for a better society. We’re angry about the banker’s bailouts and the cutbacks we suffer to pay for them. Anarchists are fighting back alongside the students, the pensioners and the workers, and we want to do more. If you want to fight for a real alternative then come along to one to the Teacher’s Club and talk to us.

This sounds remarkably similar to a slogan for a Dublin Christian Evangelical movement. I can take control of my own life under capitalism just fine.
Autonomy is not something that magically emerges under 'anarchism'. It is negotiated within any system (with the exception of authoritarian regimes perhaps). I can hear it already: 'Market Capitalism is authoritarian' , not as authoritarian as any attempt to remove the right to private property i.e. anarchism
perhaps you could outline the hows whys etc of property 'rights'? pretty hard to avoid property wrongs too
maybe see ay there then?
More on the anarchist position on private property can be found here:
