We will be starting a regular monthly drop in session from this month. Need advice about an issue with your boss or landlord? Want support organising in your workplace or community? Want to talk about anarchism or syndicalism? Want to meet members of the group and find out how SolFed works? Just want to say hi? Then come see us at one of these drop in sessions.
The first session will be on Thursday, October 16th, 19:00 – 20:00, at the London Action Resource Centre (LARC), 62 Fieldgate Street, E1 1ES. If you can, please bring a donation for the space.
The London Anarchist Bookfair will be taking place on the 20th of September and Solidarity Federation will be running a stall, so come along and have a chat and grab some literature. The stalls will be at Leake Street Arches, Waterloo, SE1 7NN, with the stalls being up from 10am. Workshops will be held at 26 Leake Street.
For our thirteenth reading group we will start reading No Spiritual Surrender: Indigenous Anarchy in Defense of the Sacred by Klee Benally. From the blurb:
“The most bitter medicines are the strongest. We end despair by ending what is causing our suffering: destroying what destroys us. After all, anti-colonial means anti-settler society.
For our twelfth reading group we will start reading No Spiritual Surrender: Indigenous Anarchy in Defense of the Sacred by Klee Benally. From the blurb:
Workers Centres have proven transformational for local organising initiatives, ranging from the defence of migrants to the waging of workplace struggles. Across this three-part series of discussions and workshops, we will explore what it would mean to establish a Workers Centre at Pelican House.
The News From Nowhere Club is hosting a panel of representatives from various left wing political parties & groups to give a short introduction of their competing visions of politics. After these introductions, members of the panel will answer questions from the audience. This will involve speakers from across the left, both radical and mainstream, and a member of the London group of the Solidarity Federation will be part of the panel. Come along for what is likely to be a lively discussion on what the future might look like and how best to get there.
We are the London section of the Solidarity Federation (SolFed), a revolutionary union initiative.
We are Anti-Capitalist because we believe that the current structure of ownership, where a minority of rich capitalists own the majority of the wealth of society, can only lead to the exploitation and oppression of everyone else. We are Revolutionary because we believe that only the abolition of capitalism will lead to freedom. We want to replace capitalism with Socialism, where workers control their own workplaces and communities control their own infrastructure.
However, unlike many other socialists, we are also Anti-State because we believe that the state is just as likely to exploit and oppress workers and communities as capitalists and must also be abolished. We are Anarchists who believe that all forms of rulership and obedience are harmful, and that both our movements in there here and now and any future socialist society must be built from the Bottom Up on the basis of free association and mutual agreement.
We believe the Workplace is where we are forced to produce all the material, power, and profit that both keeps society running and keeps our rulers rich and powerful. We are Syndicalists who believe in building organisations in the workplace that can one day take over the entire economy and abolish both the state and capitalism. We believe that Direct Action like strikes, slow downs, blockades, and other disobedience are the best way to fight for positive change.
We are also Anti-Hate because we believe that sexism, racism, transphobia, and other bigotries only weaken the ability of those at the bottom of society to defend themselves from those at the top. We want to unify the Working Class across lines of gender, sexuality, race, culture, legal status, and other divisions on the basis of mutual Solidarity and use our collective power to overthrow the rich and powerful and build a world where everyone is free from exploitation and oppression.
