Cork Anarchist Library -July 8th - “Possible Future Societies”, at Rebel Reads Marina Commercial Park.

Tuesday July 8th 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.

Julys theme is around the concept of not just pointing out what possibly everyone knows, Crapitalism sucks!, and will be “Possible Future Societies” .

It could range from the many social anarchist options, from Bookchin’s Liberation Municipalism ( presently being prefigured in Rojava) to post-scarcity visions in FALC ( Fully Automated Luxury Communism ) and similar and Anarchist reactions to that, along with the concept of techno feudalism and its effect there…

More can include earlier shorter examples from within the works of (Proudhon, Bakunin, Kropotkin etc) and the general recent appeal of what can be summarised as public luxury and private sufficiency, and thinking about the present day lessons of history, ( or the what-if histories) such as the Spanish Revolution and the Russian.

Can inspiring visions energise the working class towards anarchism? Is there a balance in letting a thousands visions bloom now in order to not let vacuums be filled… vs the dangers of blueprinting away the voices of the future in an authoritarian way?
