London Anarchist Bookfair 2024

Only 3 pages in 1 month for a book fair beef thread? Back in my day it would have been over 300 pages by the first 12 hours

Kids today don't know what moaning about the Bookfair is, tbh.

Back in my day, you had to write a strong letter to Black Flag or Freedom, put a stamp on it, stick in the postbox, have it sit uncollected in a PO Box for a few weeks. Nowadays it's all twitter this, tiktok that. They don't know they're born.

Freedom did give serious thought to offering a "Fifth Column" a little while ago where people could write in their complaints about the movement, but then I recalled the letters pages from the 80s/90s.

To be fair, it was dire back then.

Isn't Freedom just another word for nothing left to lose?
