SuburbanCasual said:
The bookfair is politically worthless, because most anarchists are politically worthless, I only go for the piss up.

:rolleyes: :rolleyes: Wankers are arriving for the bookfair early this morning I see. What is Soooooo good about your politics leader?
 
I'm going to hear mart and bone's book launch rants. should be quality entertainment. fuck all the other boring stuff that'll be the highlight(s) of the bookfair and no mistake. don't miss 'em folks. :)
and if any stinkers turn up this year and try to spoil the drinking in the pub by playing their shitty music whey should be shown the door.

:D
...drinking in the pub afterward's the best bit.
Mind I'm normally quite drink by midafternoon, for some reason.

Looking forward to this year very much.

Class struggle anarchism + anti immigration = winning combination.:cool:
How can you have immigration, or emigration come to that, without states? Anarchism with borders? Is that like freedom with handcuffs?
 
SuburbanCasual said:
Of course you can, immigration is anti working class - class struggle anarchists must defend our interests first, not those of the bosses.

You own argument has defeated itself.

Its in our interests to have the free movement of people...

Wonder if Martin will include the story about slashing some young lad's arm with a flick-knife at one of the early bookfairs? Or the one about him and his mate Steve terrorizing IB's ex-missus by phone after she'd just miscarried?
 
maybe the organisers of the bookfair should try and post details of its existence a bit wider than the usual websites etc. always think it would be a good way to get some more people interested in the movement. however, unless you're already looking at certain websites, etc, you wouldn't necessarily know it's going on

The thing is, people who aren't already involved in the scene (come on, it's not a fucking movement) aren't going to come along even if they're aware of it. Who's going to travel all the way to London to go to an event which is clearly aimed solely at anarchists?

The bookfair doesn't really have much political value, but it's a good chance to socialise and go to some interesting meetings, maybe buy a few good books.

you might get some people coming along out of curiosity who then decide that they want to get involved. surely anything is doomed to failure unless it tries something to attract new blood.

You don't know what your talking about, whoever the fuck you are.
 
I'll be headed down for this one for the first time in four years. Politically speaking it isn't going to make the earth shake but it's a chance to encounter some new ideas.:)

The best way for new people to get attracted to anarchism is through hooking up with active local groups, imho. Then they'll get to know about stuff like the bookfair through those groups. That's gonna work better than some national advertising campaign by the organisers of the bookfair (who I'd imagine are pretty strapped for time and resources as it is.

Quite - 'we' need a conference/congress every 2 years of all the class struggle anarchists over a long weekend near to Mayday...

For a movement that has potential, and has so many people with ideas, surely there must be some way to practice solidarity amongst ourselves in a better way, and thats apart from the necessary levels of political understanding, research and development that our movement needs...:eek: :D
