Cork Anarchist Library - “Anarchism and young people”, Tuesday August 12th 7-9pm !
Cork Anarchist Library is a monthly gathering where ideas on revolution, liberation and real equality are allowed to circulate freely. CAL themed discussions are always healthy and friendly.
August’s theme is around “Anarchism and young people”.
We are certainly living in strange times, nay timelines!, and yet, many say we’re simply looking at a repeat of history.
Along with the rise of the far-right we see examples of young people’s desire for autonomy and self determination, in the here and now, and not some distant future.
The appeal of broad participation, of direct action, alongside genuine grass root mutual aid organisation, leads to a questioning of authority and a revulsion to state power and indeed what it does to “the left”.
This is fuelled, with the ever present crises of the cost of living, climate, inequality, corporate tyranny in the workplace, etc - but also now by the genocide and the triumphalism of the far right and the billionaire class.
Can it be said that the age of revolution is not over? Will we see the new generations make their mark on the revolution(s) of the still young 21st century by tracing their origins from anarchism?
