The revolutionary change sweeping North Africa and the Arab world offers great hope for the workers and oppressed people of the Earth. The demands for democracy and a decent life are shared by millions, if not billions, of people. At the same time the world’s capitalists stand exposed, out of touch and terrified by the movement they are witnessing.

Anyone who made it to one of the six 'Building a popular anarchism' talks I did in Ontario over the summer may be interested to know I'm currently repeating them in the USA. I'm blogging from Jersey city today.

This is part of a dozen+ tour for NEFAC (North East Federation of Anarchist Communists) which has members in Quebec and the NE USA. A few Common Cause members including myself and also NEFAC members.

You'll find individual accounts of the meetings at http://anarchism.pageabode.com as well as some observations about the US in general. I'm also doing audio interviews on the road, some of these can be found at http://www.indymedia.ie/article/86424 and http://www.indymedia.ie/article/86525

Interesting to see that Wayne Price of NEFAC NYC has a new Book coming out called The Abolition of the State: Anarchist & Marxist Perspectives.

Many might be familiar with Wayne's writings from his monthly columns at Anarkismo and according to promotional material floating around the net his new book covers

An interesting report comes in from the public forum recently organised by NEFAC on organisation courtesy of this site...
