We will not be meeting at our usual time and place next Tuesday so that we can attend a book release and presentation being given on Uruguayan anarchism during the Cold War. If you’d like to meet up, we’ll be at Tamarack (1501 Harrison St in downtown Oakland) at 6pm. The book in question is Anarchist Popular Power – Dissident Labor and Armed Struggle in Uruguay, 1956-76 by Troy Andreas Araiza Kokinis. It’s not terribly long, though one supposes that the presentation will presuppose little to no knowledge of the subject. So read whatever parts you feel drawn to and we’ll all have a bit of a field trip together. Any discussion of the FAU is compelled to offer commentary on the doctrinaire quasi-Leninist premises of platformism and especifismo (or specifism) so you may also wish to do a bit of reading on those tendencies within anarchism if you’re unfamiliar with them. Until then!
