(en) Britain, Edinburgh dayschool: building working class resistance to capitalism and racism by afedscotland

Edinburgh Anarchist Federation invite you to a day of discussion on contemporary anarchist
and communist strategy and organisation. Focusing on practical experience of organising
above abstract theory we want as many people as possible to come together on November
30th. ---- In the aftermath of the largest economic crisis in decades and the collapse
across the world of the legitimacy and membership of social-democratic parties, the
opportunity should exist for a re-emergence of the communist movement. Despite this, we
remain marginal, disorganised and lacking in strategic direction. The left remains in
thrall to outdated ideas and tactics unable to adapt to current conditions, to offer any
effective opposition to neoliberal attacks or build the organisations necessary for
working class power and autonomy.
Too often self-described revolutionaries and communists meet only to discuss abstract
theories or to analyse historical events, divorced from any material relation to current
struggles in the UK, and unwilling to consider new organisational methods. This gathering
aims to be different. We want to discuss practically how we create a culture of resistance
and organisation in our own workplaces and communities, to smash the growing threat of
fascism and racism from the EDL to the UKBA.
Though we remain weak at present, reasons for optimism do exist, from the wave of
spontaneous workplace occupations and wildcat strikes in 2009 to the student movement of
2010, the arrival of the anti-fascist network as a serious, militant alternative to the
UAF, the innovation of the pop-up union at Sussex university and the growth of solidarity
networks. We want to draw out the successes and failures of these nascent formations and
consider where we go from here. Do these ideas offer the basis for a new workers movement
or another dead end? We invite everyone who opposes capitalism and fascism to present any
ideas and discuss the future of our movement.
