  • Instead of a Primer

    There is a great deal of confusion among anarchists in terms of what anarchism is and, more importantly, what anarchism is not.

Many anarchists need to be reminded that we are against the State and government, [...]

    JUST IN TIME for this year’s furloughs, FURLOUGH FEST! In resistance to the statewide CSU budget cuts – and in solidarity with all other universities affected by budget cuts – CSUF will inadvertently host 3 days of fun, creativity, and communal resistance to corporatized education. REGARDLESS of your status – whether you are a current student at CSUF or any university at all, whether you are aware of the current budget crisis in california – this is the moment to stand in support of youth and energy which are necessarily opposed to the bleached-clean efficient machines of oppression.

    ALL ARE WELCOME TO PARTICIPATE! You DON’T have to run anything by anyone, JUST SHOW UP and do your thing. Want to play music? Bring your gear. Want to hold a workshop? Write it on the schedule of events to be provided at the Becker Amphitheater meeting point during Furlough Fest. Want to do anything else? Well, no one told you that you couldn’t, so….go ahead. Keep in mind that this is an OCCUPATION of the campus, so if you want to camp with the rest of us then bring something to sleep in or make a friend and sleep in their tent. See you all there!!!!!!!

    YOU DECIDE YOUR OWN LEVEL OF INVOLVEMENT! Want to see something happen? Then make it happen!
