New York Metro Anarchist Alliance Reading Group: Colin Ward's "Anarchy in Action"

Thursday, May 29, 6:30pm:

"Anarchy in Action" by Colin Ward.

"The argument of this book is that an anarchist society, a society which organizes itself without authority, is always in existence, like a seed beneath the snow, buried under the weight of the state and...capitalism..." -Colin Ward

"With chapters on the family, federations, schools, housing, crime, employment, welfare, deviancy, planning, and more, this is probably the best practical look at anarchist ideas in action." -AK Press

(Note: This 137 page book is an excellent, accessible introduction-- this month's discussion will be a good opportunity to invite anarcho-curious friends!)

Location: Earth Matters Cafe, 177 Ludlow St. just below Houston. F Train to 2nd Ave., JMZ Trains to Essex/Delancey St.

Festive Assembly to Push Back the Privatizers and Save Union Square, New York City
Start: 17:00
End: 19:00

Denizens of New York,

WHAT: Festive Assembly to Push Back the Privatizers and Save Union Square!
WHEN: June 5th at 5:00pm
WHERE: Northwest Corner of Union Square Park

Bloomberg and his cronies have a vision of New York City where parks
are for-profit, people are squeezed out of public spaces, and free
assembly is made nearly impossible. Their plans to privatize Union
Square Park were "approved" through a rigged process that steamrolled
widespread opposition, and then hastily implemented in order to foster
a sense of inevitability and despair. But the privatizers have
over-reached! They tried to sidestep the law, but a judge stepped in
and said "Wait a Second!" The plans are currently on hold, and the
future is uncertain. Now it is OUR time to blow the lid off this scam
and PUSH BACK THE PRIVATIZERS!

"Thus Spoke the Spectacle," NYC Anarchist Forum
Start: 19:00

On Tuesday, June 10, at 7:00pm, the Anarchist Forum will present "Thus
Spoke The Spectacle", a live music video critique of media-saturated
culture. The performance, based on Guy Debord's landmark Situationist work
"The Society of the Spectacle," combines original music with bit and pieces
of the media barrage reassembled to draw out their hidden meanings. The
Spectacle, according to Debord is "the world of illusion where all attention
and consciousness converge," constituting a unified thought-world
constructed daily through communication technology. The Spectacle is
dominated by images of commercialized community: happy, well-adjusted people
connected to each other, and a multitude of products, in meaningful and
satisfying ways. The reality is a never-ending psychic invasion causing
alienation: separation from the self, from others, and from a genuine
experience of life. Music by Eric Goodman, lyrics by Guy Debord, live
performance by Eric Goodman and Mike Stevens. The performers will talk with
the audience after the show.
