Liverpool Indymedia

Join the Radical workers’ bloc at the Lib Dem conference!

Liverpool Solidarity Federation | 16.08.2010 09:35 | Social Struggles | Workers' Movements | Liverpool

The Merseyside Trades Union Council have called a demonstration at the Liberal Democrats’ annual conference. This has been billed as “against coalition cuts in public jobs and services” – but we want more.



Of course, we need to protect jobs. Every job lost to redundancy means more workload for those who remain. An injury to one really is an injury to all. We also need to stop the cuts that take away vital services, hard-won by generations of struggle. But these are not Liberal Democrat, Tory, or even coalition cuts – they are cuts by the ruling class, which we would be facing whoever got into power.

Liverpool Solidarity Federation and others are forming a Radical Workers’ Bloc on the demonstration. We reject the notion that a different government will bring about a solution for us – the cuts will be defeated on the streets and on the picket lines, not at the ballot box.

We need to send a message not only to this coalition government but to all political parties. The working class will not take these attacks on our livelihood lying down. We do not need anyone’s permission to fight back, and we do not need politicians or bureaucrats to lead us.

Join us on the Radical Workers’ Bloc on 18h September at the Echo Arena in Liverpool. Look for the red & black flags and the Liverpool Solidarity Federation banner.

Flyers and posters will be produced as soon as we have a definite time for the event.

The true spirit of Anarchy

16.08.2010 11:57

The true spirit of Anarchy has lost ground to people who are actually just lefties in libertarian clothing. We was wrong to think that the old-school Anarchists could drop their sectarianism and work to promote the beautiful idea. It's time for something completely new.

"It's time for something completely new. "

Good, so you'll fuck off then? I look forward to never hearing from you again.

Anyway, good on Liverpool Sol Fed.

What's any of that got to do with the 'true spirit of Anarchism' (at least in the class struggle sense of the word)? Looks like a load of old bollocks to me.

what is it with anarchists and demonstrations?

17.08.2010 21:09

What is it with the going to demonstrations? I've hung around anarchists all my life and they've been going to demonstrations pretty much constantly in that time from at least the early 80s. If going to demonstrations worked then the world would be a paradise by now. Time to try something new... but then that would require you to talk to people wouldn't it?

Workers of the World – RELAX!

17.08.2010 21:40


The best piece of anarchist political philosophy we’ve read in a long while has just been posted over on the Anarchist Media Project (AMP) site –  http://anarchistmedia.wordpress.com/2010/08/15/bone-idle-or-work-doesnt-work-an-interview-with-ian-bone-and-ray-roughler-jones/

This interview first appeared in the latest edition of The Idler (probably the most beautifully produced zine in history) and is an absolute fucking classic. It’s the best anti-work primer since Bob Black’s The Abolition of Work ( http://www.inspiracy.com/black/abolition/abolitionofwork.html) and is a great introduction to idling. Best of all it’s fucking hilarious.
