Anarchist Discussion Group: Introduction to Anarchism

SUMMARY
Anarchism is a political philosophy that is anti-capitalist, anti-imperialist, and anti-oppressive. Anarchists aim to create a directly democratic, ecologically sustainable society based on the principles of freedom, equality, justice, dignity, and self-determination.

In preparation for the upcoming Anarchist Assembly, this facilitated discussion will introduce and explore these, and other, principles and practices of
anarchism. Anarchist criticisms of contemporary politics and economic
structures, as well as anarchist alternatives, will also be addressed. All are welcome.

—————————————-

The Anarchist Discussion Group meets every second Sunday afternoon. We are local Ottawa activists and community members who share an anti-authoritarian and anti-capitalist viewpoint. We are involved in diverse struggles and believe in the importance of maintaining a link between theory and practice. Discussions are based on readings, presentations or short films. If there are readings, they are optional and will be summarized at the beginning of the discussion.

All are welcome. Accessible! Child-friendly!
