The Anarchist* Walking Tour!

*Illegalist, Expropriator, Anti-Organisational, Intransigent

During the late 19th century, a singular, vital, courageous and coherent minority of the anarchist movement – warriors of the idea, intellectuals of dynamite – gathered in London. They were exiles not only from European regimes but also, in many cases, from authoritarian, decadent and worm-eaten socialist and anarchist groups. They came here in order to finance and coordinate their revolutionary attacks on the tyrannical regimes of central, eastern and southern Europe. Creating an informal network which organised robbery, forgery, production of propaganda and arms procurement for the preparation of global insurrection was their project, night and day. These ‘foreigners’ were the enemies of every state, they were incorrigible subversives who felt no gratitude whatsoever for their benevolent ‘hosts’, the bourgeois democracy of England at the height of its bloody colonial power. On the contrary they were determined to continue their war against all oppression, and that London’s capitalists would pay for it! 
At 6pm on Friday 26th June, we will gather on the corner of Windmill Street & Charlotte Street W1T 2LY to begin a tour (until late) of the sites where our comrades of not-so-long ago discussed, ate, loved and fought together, sleeplessly sweated over the most incendiary publications and plotted their next audacious attacks. 
In case it requires any clarification this event is the passion project of a few 21st century anarchists, not historians or tour guides. We want to spread and savour the words and experiences these comrades left to us as we continue to struggle for a free and creative life for all, to be grasped immediately by daring and guile.
 
Leave the phones, technology and social media blabla out of it, let’s live a little! 
Leave the academic or journalist bullshit, let’s come with our own ideas and desires!
THEN AS NOW:
DEATH TO THE STATE, LONG LIVE ANARCHY!
