Our first discussion meeting for the year will be on Social Anarchism, Individualism And Lifestyle Politics

When: 6:30pm, 31st of March
Where: Multipurpose Room 1, Kathleen Syme Library and Community Centre (251 Faraday St, Carlton).

Anarchism is a political philosophy committed to freedom, equality and justice – seeing capitalism, the state and oppressive social relationships as the barriers to the realisation of these goals. With such a simple definition, you’d wonder why anarchism is such a broad church.

In this talk Anarchist Affinity will be looking at the historical development of the two ‘tendencies’ that are often brought together under the umbrella of anarchism: Social Anarchism and Individualism. What are they? What are lifestyle politics? We will talk about how these philosophies have shaped anarchism’s development, and how they manifest in approaches to anarchist politics and action today.

After the talk, a lively discussion and debate!
