Anarchism

Plot

In May 2011 thousands of students and workers occupied squares in city centres across Spain, inspired by the Egyptian Revolution. There followed occupations in Athens and protests around Europe.They were one example of a resurgence in movements influenced by anarchist or autonomist ideas. Molyneux welcomes these movements but argues that anarchist ideas contain fundamental weaknesses. Anarchists and Marxists may share the same goal of an equal, classless society, but the crucial question any activist must answer is how do we get to that world from this?
