Rejecting both capitalist exploitation and state controlled socialism\, he lays out a vision where trade unions become instruments of direct action\, solidarity\, and ultimate liberation. Instead of abolishing labor\, Rocker challenges us to seize it\, transforming industry through workers’ self-management into a system that serves human needs rather than corporate profit.   All are welcome! Whether you are a lifelong anarchist or just beginning your journey\, join us to discuss how taking democracy into our own workplaces is a necessary   Meeting Details Book: Anarcho-syndicalism by Rudolf Rocker Date: Monday\, 22nd May 2026 Time: 6:30 PM – 8:00 PM  Location: The Brockley Brewery URL:https://www.eroding.org.uk/event/the-brockley-anarchist-reading-club-3/ LOCATION:Brockley Brewery\, 31 Harcourt Road\, Brockley\, SE4 2AJ CATEGORIES:Meetings ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://www.eroding.org.uk/wp-content/uploads/2026/06/6937_image_b.a.r.c_20260610_104719_0000.jpg END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=Europe/London:20260623T190000 DTEND;TZID=Europe/London:20260623T190000 DTSTAMP:20260622T213216 CREATED:20260601T023024Z LAST-MODIFIED:20260622T150649Z UID:6499-1782241200-1782241200@www.eroding.org.uk SUMMARY:Feminist Fightback reading group: Feminisms (Dog Section Press) DESCRIPTION:Join Feminist Fightback for our next reading group book: Feminisms\, a collection of essays published by Dog Section Press.

Together\, these materials offer a window into traditions of direct action\, counter-mapping and anti-capitalist organising that sought to disrupt the infrastructures of global finance. \nTickets for the workshop (3-5pm) here \nOn the walking tour (6–8 pm)\, we will trace the histories of financial institutions embedded in the City of London — many of which are deeply connected to the British Empire\, colonial extraction\, and enduring systems of global inequality. Moving through the banking district\, we will examine how contemporary finance continues to shape political violence\, ecological collapse and policed migration regimes across the world. With an eye to the archival workshop\, we will discuss the possibilities for resistance today. \nTickets for the walking tour (6-8 pm) here URL:https://www.eroding.org.uk/event/reclaim-the-city-of-london-mayday-rooms-and-rebel-tours-workshop-and-walking-tour/ LOCATION:Mayday Rooms\, 88 Fleet Street\, EC4Y 1AE CATEGORIES:Gatherings,Presentations END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=Europe/London:20260624T190000 DTEND;TZID=Europe/London:20260624T203000 DTSTAMP:20260622T213216 CREATED:20260611T023004Z LAST-MODIFIED:20260622T150651Z UID:6962-1782327600-1782333000@www.eroding.org.uk SUMMARY:MAGAZINE LAUNCH: WEEKEND DESCRIPTION:COME AND CELEBRATE THE LAUNCH OF A BOLD NEW POETRY MAGAZINE AT HOUSMANS.

DESCRIPTION:*Illegalist\, Expropriator\, Anti-Organisational\, Intransigent \nDuring 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!

Drawing on histories unearthed from the 56A Infoshop and Southwark Archives\, Naked Souls is a deck of oracle cards/fortunes/spells\, that invokes obscure queer histories\, to chart alternative maps for our futures. It is playful and sometimes frivolous\, existing in a makeshift between poetry and instruction. \nOriginal archival flyers from the 1980s and 90s will be on display throughout the evening.

You and Yours: \nSwinging across timelines and from the mundane to the surreal\, You and Yours is a study in grief: how it exists beyond seismic losses in the stories we inherit\, in shifting friendships\, and in uncertain landscapes. These poems celebrate the self as a malleable entity under the influence of all the lives it encounters\, and balance the pain that characterises the loss of a profound connection with the wonder of having it in the first place. \nAbout Ellen Renton: \nEllen Renton is a writer from Edinburgh. Her work has been published in journals including Poetry London\, Gutter\, and Magma\, and she released her debut pamphlet An Eye For An Eye For An Eye with Stewed Rhubarb Press. Her work in theatre has included the one-woman show Within Sight (2020)\, Disciples (2023)\, and PALS (in development in 2026). She has released an EP and the album My Noise is Nothing with electronic musician Lord of the Isles. She holds an MA in Creative Writing: Poetry from the University of East Anglia. \nPlease note this is an externally organised event.

The last essay is an inurrectionary anti-organisationalist view\, Organisation vs Getting Shit Done by William Gillis.

Welcoming as headline the Californian beast from Initiate. They blend their fast\, melodic hardcore riffs with straight forward lyrics and punk elements in a way that feels fresh. Their last two releases only show one thing – Initiate is a band that is determined to show they won’t stick to what’d be considered “traditional” hardcore\, and they’re here to exploit the full potential of their many influences. Coming up next\, Leeds legends Bodyweb – bringing nu-metal and shoegaze influences to hardcore. By their own word\, “discomforting and dark at the core\, but has the widest creative parameters possible” – Listening to Bodyweb is an experience as a whole – expect the unexpected. Supernova is a politically outspoken hardcore band with main musical influences coming from bands like Carry On\, Have Heart\, Turning Point and Mindset. The music is high energy with lyrical themes covering topics such as violence against women\, social injustices\, fighting against oppressors\, the power of staying kind in a world designed to make you cruel and of course\, The Straight Edge.
