Collective Liberation on my mind
by Chris Crass
Introduction: The essays collected together
in this pamphlet are intended to further debate and discussion about some
of the challenges facing the contemporary anarchist/social justice movements.
The challenge of developing a critical political analysis and organizing practice
based in an understanding of how white supremacy, patriarchy, heterosexism,
capitalism and the state interconnect. The challenge of building a movement
that is multiracial, anti-racist, feminist, queer liberationist, environmentalist,
anti-capitalist and radically democratic. The challenge of putting forward
a vision that is rooted in solidarity, ecological sustainability, cooperation
and autonomy. The challenge of organizing against oppression, while also
working against reproducing oppression in our organizing. The challenge of
working for collective liberation. Together we can, forever we must.
