Because of the nature of capitalism and its drive to control every aspect of our lives, we, rightly so, spend a lot of our time in resistance. However, part of the resistance should be looking beyond resistance. Here and now we should be setting up structures, workshops and communities that mirror the society that we want to create. We should be linking up with mutual aid projects, self-help groups, skill sharing and organising within the community to short circuit the system, making our communities more self reliant, more self determining and self sufficient.
This from BEYOND RESISTANCE.
Beyond Resistance is a collective of people who share a belief in anarchism — the belief that ordinary people can organise a social system of human beings living, interacting, and relating in a way that is the most fair, equal, and free of any kind of exploitation. We are based in various locations across Aotearoa — as individuals, or, where there’s a number of us, as a Local. As well as supporting each other in workplace and community struggles, we host a number of events such as film nights, discussion forums, anarchist picnics, and more. We also welcome children at all events.Feel free to check out our aims & principles for where we stand, or read more on how we work as a group. Every member, whether on their own or in a Local, has an equal say in what we do and how we organise.We have a number of skills and resources available for your own community building, educational events and other kinds of activities, so please get in touch! We’re always keen to help.
