(en) Britain, St Imier meeting in London
Date
Wed, 16 May 2012 12:07:49 +0300
Saturday May 19th 3pm at Lucas Arms, Gray’s Inn Road, London, Nearest tube King’s Cross.
Anti-authoritarianism Today and Yesterday: On the 140th Anniversary of the Founding of the
Anti-Authoritarian International in St Imier Switzerland. This year marks the 140th
anniversary of the founding of the Anti-Authoritarian International. Following moves by
Marx and his followers to expel two leading anarchists, Mikhail Bakunin and James
Guillaume, from the First International, the first genuine intertational working class
organisation, the Jura section in Switzerland, supported by the Italian and Spanish
sections, revolted against these bureaucratic moves and convened a conference. They were
soon joined by other sections equally dismayed by these moves and Marx’s high handed
decision to move the General Council of the First International away from Europe to New York.
These developments have left a permanent mark on the socialist and workers movements.
Thousands of anarchists will be attending a massive celebration of the founding of the
Anti-Authoritarian International in St Imier itself, in August 8-12 this year with round
tables, public meetings, music concerts, film shows, plays etc.
The following issues will be discussed:
• The background to St Imier and what was involved in the split
• How the struggle against authoritarianism continued in key revolutions such as Russia
and Spain
• The debate about human ‘nature’ and why humans do not need authority to flourish
• The role of authoritarian tendencies in struggles today eg the cuts movement, the
strikes in the public sector, the student movement and within the anarchist movement itself
• Examples of organising without authority
This meeting will give an account of the original events and give details of the coming
celebrations. All welcome.
