Anarchists recognise that hierarchy and authoritarianism exist to serve one useful end - the efficient exploitation of workers. But there is another way to do things - society could be organised through workplace and community councils, through grassroots democracy, from the bottom up. A lot of people accept that there's a need for change, but not many have any real idea of how change can come about. We don't think General Elections make a wit of difference. Remember the anarchist slogan Whoever Gets In The Government Still Rules.
Anarchists stand for direct action and solidarity among and between workers.
Rents and house prices have gone through the roof. Wages and pay have limped along while profits have soared. Everyone is working harder, but the gap between the rich and poor has widened massively in the last while. The truth is that the present system is rotten and we need to change it. There's plenty more that could be said about anarchism, so on the other side of this leaflet you'll find a list of places and addresses where you can get more information.
