Never Mind the Ballots!

Instead of the current system of representative democracy we believe in Direct democracy which is based on equal participation. In order to be free & happy, we need to run our communities, our workplaces & our own lives. Anarchism is a way of organising society in which everyone has an equal say on how things are run.

Anarchism is about standing up for ourselves and resisting unfairness; it is about sharing resources so everyone has what they need and it’s about creating a more peaceful world where we are free from poverty, violence and war.

Anarchists believe there are alternatives to the current political system where a minority force their decisions on a majority and where a few people hold all the power and wealth.

We want accountable delegates rather than careerist politicians, shared ownership rather than private profit, human need rather than economic growth, & mutual aid rather than free trade.



Hope not! To me it sounds like a socialist's dream, people are not equel and never will be.

Hope not too, but you never know how things will turn out as people grow ever more dissilusioned.

Sounds less like anarchism and more like nihilism
