Thursday, Feb. 26: Ken Knabb, “The Joy of Revolution”

January 5, 2009

“The Joy of Revolution is a series of observations on the problems and possibilities of a global anti-hierarchical revolution. Beginning with a brief overview of the failure of Bolshevism and the inadequacy of reformism, it examines the pros and cons of a wide range of radical tactics, then concludes with some speculations on what a liberated society might be like…Never in history has there been such a glaring contrast between what could be and what actually exists.” -Ken Knabb

An excellent short (89 page) introduction to anarchist ideas. This meeting is a good opportunity for newcomers to anarchism to join in the discussion. Invite a friend!

The entire pamphlet is available online at www.bopsecrets.org/PS/joyrev.htm (scroll down for Spanish, French, Russian, Portuguese and Hebrew translations), or in hard copy from AK Press in the anthology “Public Secrets: Collected Skirmishes of Ken Knabb, 1970-1997″
