Indeed, many other countries in Europe, and also the US, have flourishing anarchist student groups. Many students feel passionately about progressive politics, and while many may feel this is 'bleeding heart liberalism' or 'middle class guilt', many students come from working class backgrounds and are studying, not in order to get cushy jobs, but out of fear of having no rights in the future work place, low pay, worsening health care, unemployment, etc. Thus many seek places in professions with marginally better benefits, in teaching, pharmacy, white collar work, etc, many of which, at the same time, are suffering a decrease in pay. The potential for radical politics in universities is large and growing, with the reduction of student loans, increasing debt, many are beginning to feel first hand the real nature of capitalist society. We are becoming increasingly 'commodified'.
Many students become involved in 'radical' politics.
The 'radicalism' of 'green' groups, which often turns out to be merely left liberalism. Or worse still, the Socialist Worker's Party, that revolving door of 'democratic centralist' 'radicalism'. We hope people will become involved in this project. But we hope to ally ourselves with wider, workers, global, and environmental issues. What people in these occupations usually end up doing though, is perpetuating the ever increasing system of plasticised commodities, warfare and welfare, rather than reducing the 'realm of necessity' to a minimum, utilising technology to human advantage, allowing human needs to develop in true recreation, in artistic creation, in play, whatever forms this takes.
