Friday 31st - Anarchist students back bank bash

Autonomy and Solidarity would like to announce their arrival by endorsing this Friday?s demonstration assembling at Canary Wharf tube station at 5pm then marching on Lehman Brother?s offices.

We are a newly formed social anarchist/class struggle anarchist group at Goldsmiths University. We intend to focus on social issues and fight for students as workers, on the basis that most students will have part time jobs and will more than likely be workers when they graduate. We hope to do this first by education around social issues, then by information campaigns such as ?workers rights? forums, and ultimately through workplace activity. We will strive to build links to local struggles in the area and hope to see students as part of the community, not ?the student community?.

And in between all this we?ll be doing films and talks to have a bit of chat about what anarchism actually is!

All Out for Friday 31st

As anarchists we think it is very important to stress that this current financial crisis is not just the greedy traders or bad government policies, but an inevitable part of capitalism. The crisis isn?t this month or this year, its last year, next year, the year after that, and for as long as we allow it to exist: the crisis is unsustainable expansion based on the exploitation of workers. That?s what capitalism is. The last few weeks have just been an extreme example. Our only way out is to organise a completely democratic response amongst ourselves, first to defend against the cuts to our wages and services, and eventually to take back our planet and run it justly. By joining and endorsing the demo we hope that a wider public who are beginning to question capitalism will see there is an opposition, and that opposition has alternatives ? to fight and to win. It is not intended that Friday be seen as a protest ? we are not protesting; hopefully what will be clear is a demonstration of anger and serious opposition to all forms of capitalism.

We will leave with a student?s block from Goldsmiths at 4pm if you want to join us, if not ? see you at Canary Wharf station at 5pm!
