We decided last time to read "Breaking with Consensus Reality."

http://www.crimethinc.com/blog/2012/04/23/breaking-with-consensus-reality/

From the text:

"We who fight to create a freer world face a fundamental contradiction. On one hand, we don’t want to become a vanguard, “leading” or imposing our will on others, as that would run counter to our anti-authoritarian values. On the other hand, we believe with good justification that our political goals—including the destruction of capitalism, the state, and hierarchy—can’t be accomplished without strategies that are currently unpalatable to most of our fellow citizens. The impoverishment of millions and the destruction of our ecosystems demand that we act decisively. What criteria will equip us to challenge these systems without resorting to the authoritarian means we condemn?"

This even has been cross-posted from its original page, Social Center Potluck and Open Meeting VII.

Atlanta anarchist social center potluck and open meeting VII

A coalition dedicated to opening a radical social center in Atlanta will be holding a potluck and open meeting. This is a continuation of the last open meeting so the discussion will pick up where it left off. The meeting will start promptly at 7:30pm, so if you’d like to eat, please come at 7pm.

Specifically, we will discuss as a tentative agenda:

Anarchist reading group this Sunday! This week we are reading "The Broken Teapot."         http://zinelibrary.info/broken-teapot-full-version

Zine library sometimes sucks so heres a direct link to the zine version:                                  http://zinelibrary.info/files/TheBrokenTeapotZINE.pdf

We are also choosing what we want to read next. So come with ideas of what you would like to read or how you would like the reading group to go from here.

This Friday there will be a film screening and discussion of "Breaking the Spell", which documents the resistance to the 1999 WTO summit in Seattle. Please bring a vegan dish to share with the group as this will double as a potluck. Come have a good time and talk about the riot.

In the past year, several Atlanta rebels have faced down police violence, arrest, and incarceration for their participation in the fight against authority and exploitation. We must continue supporting them now as they face legal costs and court fees. Please join us for a fundraiser and some friendly discussion. We ask participations to bring $5 - $50. No one will be turned away.

4pm Discussion of Wolfi Landstreicher's "Revolutionary Solidarity"
