Anarchism 101: Worldbuilding?

This week at Radical Sunday School, we're getting back to an old favorite: Anarchism 101! We'll be talking with a long time anarchist organizer from the Vrije Bond about some tricky questions, like: 

- Why is the world the way it is?

- What does 'materialism' mean and what do anarchists think of it?

- How do we build power? Do we want to?

- How do we change the world by working together?

This isn't going to be some stuffy theoretical lecture - we're going to focus on how our experiences have shaped us, and see how by working together, we can materially build the world we want to live in! Of course there can be plenty of disagreements, but always in the spirit of learning from each other. By the end, we hope everyone leaves with just a few more tools to bring into their politics, their activism, and maybe even their taste in music?

The formal education system affects us all. Not only are we forced to attend schools growing up, but academic research shapes our governments, our news, and how we view the world around us. As much as many of us want to believe in the promise of institutional education, the sad fact is that our schools and universities are undemocratic and elitist. They perpetuate inequalities instead of giving people the tools to fight them. This world is fucked.

Here at Radical Sunday School, though, we know that another world is possible. Everyone should be able to direct their own learning, to grow together with their communities, and to live as though they’re already free. There are countless examples of movements already putting these ideas into practice. This collective is trying to follow in their footsteps, organizing to explore new ways of learning based on principles of autonomy, mutual aid, and egalitarianism.

This is not intended to be a course that you would have to follow all the way through. Jump in and out whenever you like. Sessions will be held every Sunday at Joe's Garage.

Doors open at 17.30, we start sharp at 18.00!
