A panel discussion on anarchist praxis presented at the 2005 Renewing the Anarchist Tradition conference in Plainfield, Vermont. For more info, www.homemadejam.org/renew.
Produced by Aaron Lakoff (aaron@resist.ca).
Do you feel frustrated by the lack of anarchist strategy and organizing? Do you think a fundamental shift in contemporary anarchist organizing methodology is needed? Panelists explore what we might learn from various organizing models, community struggles, and diverse political movements as well as the obstacles to applying anarchist theory.
This panel is a constructive dialogue about the tensions between mass-based work and explicityly radical political efforts. Thi includes the ways mass movements, community organizing, and traditional trade unionism can dismantle and repress the potential for radical change, and the way "radical" sectarianism can contribute to the demobilization of the growth of broad-based movements.
