New Anarchist Student Network

AYNer | 09.10.2003 08:48

Some university students within the Anarchist Youth Network have decided to push to set up student groups in uni's around the UK, and form an organised network, possibly as part of the AYN, but this bit needs discussion.

Students unions provide funds for societies, meaning people can often get funding, and also universities have large concentrations of young people - many interested in radical ideas.

AYN has people involved in quite a lot of Uni's... Some of the ones in which people are interested in setting up groups (or have them already) are as follows:

Goldsmiths College, London
email  goldsmiths@anarchistyouth.net

University of Bristol
email  baa@anarchistyouth.net

School of African and Oriental Studies, London
email  soas@anarchistyouth.net

London School of Economics
email  lse@anarchistyouth.net

University College London
email  m12collective@riseup.net

Royal Holloway
email  rhul@anarchistyouth.net

University of Birmingham
email  brum@anarchistyouth.net

If you are in one of these universities, get in touch! Or if you would like to set a group up at your university, please email  goldsmiths@anarchistyouth.net and they can help you get started! We also have contacts for anarchists in other universities but as yet they have ne email addresses so email the Goldsmiths' address to find out if there is anyone near you.

We are having our first meeting at the Anarchist Bookfair at 5pm on the 25th October in London.
It is in room 2E at ULU, on Malet Street, near Russel Square, Euston and Goodge St stations, so if you're interested please come along, and let's get organised!

Updates, more contacts and info can be found on the AYN home page, link below.

Get on with being a student...

Rather than spending their valuable time at university attending boring political meetings, students should get on with what they are meant to be doing: drinking to excess, taking loads of drugs and dancing to Kylie.

These two groups aren't strictly anarchist, but they are horizontally-organised anti-capitalist groups, so we like 'em!

An anarchist organisation? A hierarchy, with people as members of local clubs that are affiliates of a national structure? A web site that requires registration to participate? This does not look anything like I expected. Maybe it is a society for youths studying anarchism?

You must be confused

It will be an organisation, yes. But there will be no hierarchy. All participants in the network will have an equal say.

Anarchists are not and never have been against organisation, and in the past anarchists have even run entire countries, as they did in Spain for a while in the 1930's

Actually...

The anarchists in Spain were part of the republican alliance in Spain. Their reach didnt go all the way across spain, and was mostly concentrated in Catalonia. Sorry to be a pedant - still an inspirational period though!
