\centerline{\bf anarchy/theory}

{\bf anarchy 101}. just what is this anarchy stuff anyway? are¨
you the guys with black pointy hats who shoot people and blow¨
things up? if we had anarchy, who would pick up the garbage? ¨
without the police and the army, how could we protect ourselves? ¨
well?

[short~presentation,~discussion]{\bf~~\#9}}

{\bf the appearance and disappearance of ``daily life''}. daily¨
life was the revolutionary commodity of situationist theorists.¨
after a short presentation, we'll discuss where some of us have¨
taken this trend.

[short~presentation,~discussion]{\bf~~\#1}}

{\bf reunifying chaos and anarchy}. if anarchy isn't chaos, what¨
are you going to do with all the people? chaos and the ``sane''¨
struggle against it defines history. embrace the lunatic 
all-mother before the sanity of industrialism and tribalism¨
destroys us all!

\centerline{\bf current events}

{\bf nicaragua: an anarchist perspective}. leftist tropical¨
paradise or latin-american gulag? a first-hand account of an¨
anarchist's visit to the new leftist holy land will be the start¨
of an open discussion of how anarchists can relate to the¨
situation in nicaragua.

[presentation,~discussion]{\bf~~\#10}}

{\bf palestine: first-hand report from the intifada}. an arab­
american woman recently returned from the gaza strip will offer¨
an audio-visual presentation on the intifada and u.s. complicity¨
in israeli crimes from an anti-authoritarian perspective.
\leaderfill{\pretolerance=10000\it [presentation]{\bf~~\#2}}

{\bf squatting in west germany}. video presentation on the squat¨
in hafenstrasse and its involvement in the autonomous movement,¨

\centerline{\bf environment/civilization}

{\bf animal liberation}. woof woof woof. baaaaa. neigh. chirp¨
chirp. squeek squeek. mreow. mooo. discussions on veganism,¨
vivisection, fur and leather, ecological connections and more.
\leaderfill{\pretolerance=10000\it [discussion]{\bf~~\#11}}

{\bf ecological crisis: causes and solutions}. there are¨
different viewpoints about what the root cause(s) of the¨
environmental crisis is (are): industrial technology in itself,¨
too many people, urbanization, the market economy, hierarchical¨
social structure, etc. this is intended to be an open discussion¨
where these different viewpoints can dialogue, hopefully in a 
non-antagonistic and comradely spirit.

\centerline{\bf ourselves}

{\bf anarchy and education: starting out early}. a review of¨
historical anarchist education, schools for children and youth,¨
adult education, and the establishment of a new school 
movement.
\leaderfill{\pretolerance=10000\it¨
[presentation,~discussion]{\bf~~\#12}}

{\bf spirit and anarchism: what is anarchist spirituality?}¨
anarchism has historically encompassed both those whose anarchism¨
is grounded in their spiritual beliefs and those who reject any¨
form of spirituality. in this facilitated discussion group we¨
will explore the question of what, if there is such a thing, is¨
anarchist spirituality.

\centerline{\bf skills}

{\bf anarchists and the law}. for people who hate the state, some¨
of us sure spend a lot time in court. an anarchist lawyer will¨
offer his thoughts on questions facing anarchists caught in the¨
legal system and how they can be resolved with proper contempt¨
for the courts themselves.
\leaderfill{\pretolerance=10000\it [presentation]{\bf~~\#13}}

{\bf examining and improving our process} [4 hours]. in this¨
session we will look at the lack of process evident in many¨
\circleA\ network meetings and previous gatherings (workshops¨
especially) and the failings of the processes which have been¨
used, such as domination by a few, lack of 
self-facilitation/ego-control, lack of participation in events,¨
unwillingness to accept our diversity and work together from that¨
acceptance. we will also learn skills necessary to use consensus¨
process effectively, including greater involvement of individuals¨
in the \circleA\ community who choose not to be involved because¨
of our non-inclusive, dominating process.
\leaderfill{\pretolerance=10000\it [discussion]{\bf~~\#7}}

{\bf subversive arts}. posters, graffiti, props and other visual¨
propaganda are all vital to conveying subversive and anti­
authoritarian ideas to large numbers of people. specific¨
techniques and general approaches will all be 
discussed.
\leaderfill{\pretolerance=10000\it [workshop]{\bf~~\#5}}

\smallskip\goodbreak
\centerline{\bf workers' struggles}

{\bf class conflict in the modern world}. an open discussion on¨
the reactionary nature of unionism, class struggles outside of¨
the workplace. the centrality of class war as the only basis of¨
revolution in the modern world.
\leaderfill{\pretolerance=10000\it [discussion]{\bf~~\#14}}

{\bf contemporary relevance of 
anarcho-syndicalism}.\leaderfill{\bf~~\#6}
