Re: Santa Cruz Anarchist Infoshop Now Open

Steve and others are quick to assume that they are "not welcome." One response to a previous posting complained of "anarchist infoshop dogmatism." This is an absurdity since no anarchists have posted anything here that could constitute "dogmatism," nor have any of them claimed to be involved in the infoshop project. Anyone is welcome to come to the infoshop and look at the literature available, talk to the people staffing, etc. It is, after all, a public space. But it will remain a specifically anarchist project because the people making it happen want it to be defined as such. Other groups and individuals not involved in the infoshop (whether anarchist or not) could collaborate on various projects with people involved in the infoshop if these various people decide they want to. There is no rigid organization involved that does not allow working with "socialists." However, it is true that anarchists tend not to be at all interested in perpetuating authoritarian institutions through electoral politics, and many anarchists do not feel they have as much common ground with "the Left" as is sometimes assumed. For those interested, there is an article entitled "Post-Left Anarchy: Leaving the Left Behind" by Jason McQuinn which I found interesting available at www.anarchist-studies.org/article/articleprint/43/-1/1/. I mention this because there seems to be a lot of confusion as to where anarchists are coming from.
