26 years after the death of Bobby Sands - what Belfast anarchists wrote

The WSM has recently added 6 PDF's of anarchist publications from Ireland or about Ireland of the period from 1970 to 1983 (WSM was founded 1984). Today we make available an article published by the Belfast anarchist paper Outta Control written at the start of the Hunger Strike.

A second Hunger Strike has begun, with Bobby Sands, who is serving 14 years for possession of a gun, refusing food on Sunday, March 1st. He will be joined later by others, including it is thought, 2 of the previous women hunger strikers from Armagh.

textWhatever Happened to the Anarchist Workers Group? Mar 30 by Alan MacSimoin 5 comments

For many years the experience of the Anarchist Workers Group in Britain was used to smear ‘platformists’ as some sort of authoritarian tapeworm within the body of anarchism. It was claimed that our politics leads people out of anarchism and into Leninism.

The emergence of the Anarchist Workers Group at the start of the 1990's was something the WSM welcomed. Most of the people involved initially came from the South London branch of the Direct Action Movement. At least one founder member of the ACF was also involved. They also had branches in the North of England with people from Manchester, Huddersfield and Liverpool.
