TIME TO ORGANIZE FOR WORKERS' RIGHTS:

The Solidarity Federation, the British section of the AIT, has posted the text of a leaflet that they will give out at the upcoming Shop Stewards' Network meeting in London this upcoming July 7th. It can be read at http://www.anarkismo.net/newswire.php?story_id=5871 . The content is pretty standard. Real workers' solidarity as opposed to top down mainipulation by officials, advocacy of seperation from support for social democracy. Nothing to disagree with here, and many kudos to the SF for taking their ideas to a platform where they can possibly influence decent people who have workers' rights in mind rather than simply crawling up a bureaucratic ladder.

Good luck to them. What Molly wants to point out here, however, is her rather "short term" goal. Unlike some Molly has a very realistic knowledge of where anarchism is today. Her goal over 30 years, by which time Molly will likely be dead is not some bizarre fantasy of worldwide anarchist revolution. It is the possible, if anarchists act according to the numbers they are now, that supporters of social democratic parties would be reduced to passing out leaflets while anarchists set the agenda at such conferences. That is the sort of goal that Molly thinks we should strive towards while abandoning romantic illusions. It is possible while other things adavanced by too many anarchists are idle emotional fantasies.
