KCL Libertarian Socialist Students

Hi.

Just to be clear, the point of this article os not to start a debate, athough maybe another time that would be cool.

I am just writing because I want to get in touch with other students at King's College London who are interested in social anarchism, libertarian socialism or left marxism/council communism - they all come to the same thing anyway.

If you are interested, I'm setting up an e-mail list for like minded people. Go to http://groups.google.com/group/libsockcl/ and join using your King's e-mail address.

If you have no idea what anarchism etc. is but want to find out, I suggest you look at any of the following (or just google):

Out of interest - how can you possibly be Libertarian AND socialist?

It's basically a poor synonym for Communist-Anarchist etc. No private property, peoples' assemblies etc. I suppose it's just a different outlook on private property ownership.

To be fair though, I think they had the word first. As I recall, Libertarian was coined as a name for French leftie Anarchists to get around a ban on Anarchist publications.

yes, the left had the term first then you lot nicked it and changed it's meaning.



OP:
:laugh:

sorry, that's mean, I wish you best of luck although I disagree with your politics. What's wrong with SWSS though? :wink: :p: :biggrin:
I think you guys are in the minority at Kings. :redface:

Do you know the KCL Labour Soc, or Socialist Students? I'm involved with both of those groups (the latter campaigns outside the Strand campus every Wednesday from about 2.30, if you're interested), and http://kcl.facebook.com/group.php?gid=2215345875&ref=mf (KCL Socialist Society) is just getting started.

Every Wednesday? Do you have a theme every week, or are you just generally protesting for the sake of it?
Kings is my second choice after Cambridge next year.
So I'll be joining you guys if I get in (with a lot of "new" idea).

Though get a better name - something new that does not include the old key words - so that it does not scare people as much
