Anarcho-Syndicalism and the Sexual Reform Movement in the Weimar Republic |
|
by Dieter Nelles |
29 Aug 2005
|
|
"All workers' organizations are concerned almost exclusively with economic and political issues. Both the parties and the unions view the issue of sex as being insignificant, irrelevant. There once was a time when it was considered to be unrespectable to publicly address problems concerning sexual relations. And yet it is so tremendously important that the sexual issue be addressed without any trace of reticence, just as is the hunger issue. For hunger and love are the two poles around which all human life and drive revolve. These two issues are so closely entwined that is hardly possible to discuss one without considering the other." |

Why Libertarian Education? |
|
by Iain McKay |
29 Aug 2005
|
|
"Anyone involved in libertarian politics, constantly and consistently challenges the role of the state's institutions and their representatives within our lives. The role of bosses, the police, social workers, the secret service, middle managers, doctors and priests are all seen as part of a hierarchy which exists to keep us, the working class, subdued. It is relatively rare though for the left wing to call into question the role of teachers. Most-left wing activists and a large number of libertarians believe that education is good, all education is good, and education is always good. As Henry Barnard, the first US commissioner of education, appointed in 1867, exhorted, 'education always leads to freedom'." |

Paideia: 24 Years of Anarchist Education in South-West Spain |
|
by Fiona Taylor |
29 Aug 2005
|
|
"My observations, including a lot of discussion with the adult collective, and some group interviews with ex-students � is that Paideia turns out lovely, thinking people. People who are super sensitive to other people's needs and feelings. I think they are often a little shocked by how disrespectful, unjust, conformist etc people who haven't been to Paideia are. In this way � the school is a kind of microcosm for how our communities might be, how we might relate to each other and enact a just system of self-management and direct democracy . . . except they're kids, and we all live in (and go home at the end of the day to) a world which is very different to this. The revolutionary potential of Paideia then, might be that the kids go home, and at 15 go out into the world with a way of living which influences all they come into contact with. To an extent I think this is true." |

Theses on the Cultural Organization of Russia |
|
by Second All-Russian Conference of Anarcho-Syndicalists, 1918 |
29 Aug 2005
|
|
"In the area of culture and education the Second All-Russian Conference of Anarcho-Syndicalists sets as its goals . . . To seek ways and means of developing the initiative and creativity of the masses. This will help improve conditions within the framework of the present bourgeois state socialist order. It will also make it possible for the proletariat to create its own socialist -- as opposed to bourgeois -- culture and its own art, which will reflect the shining beauty and magnificence of stateless socialism and open to the human mind the widest prospects and possibilities." |
