"A surge of popular interest in anarchism occurred during the 1970s in the UK following the birth of punk rock. However, while the early punk scene appropriated anarchist imagery mainly for its shock value, the band Crass expounded serious anarchist and pacifist ideas, and went on to become a notable influence in the burgeoning Anarcho-Punk movement.

Many anarcho-punks are supporters of issues such as animal rights, feminism, the anti-war movement, the antiglobalization movement, and many other social movements.

The story of the movement is told by some of the most influential performers, including; Penny Rimbaud (Crass), Colin Jerwood (Conflict), Colin & Kevin (Flux of Pink Indians) Dick Lucas (Subhumans), Zillah Minx (Rubella Ballet), Gary Buckley (Dirt), Steve Lake (Zounds), Mark Wallis (Liberty), Gee Vaucher (Crass), Dave Hyndman (Hit Parade), Rob Millar (Amebix), Rodney Relax (Alternative), Stringy & Snout (Erratics) and Gerard Evans (Flowers in the Dustbin).

The interview footage is laced with both audio and visual music performance, some extremely rare, from the main performers on the scene including - Crass / Conflict / Subhumans / Liberty / Toxic Waste / Chumbawamba / Sacrilege / Inner Terrestrials & many more."

The UK organisation Class War came to an end quite a while ago. There may be one or two banners left in existence but that's about it.

I'm tired of governments and politicians making false promises, allowing police to beat the shit out of people for a small little fucking reason and harassed for not "fittiing in the norms of society"! There is alot of issues such as poverty, war being used as an excuse for taking advantage over other peoples land. As emilano zapata said "el que trabaja la tierra, es dueno de su tierra." Translation, he who works the land, owns the land.

New movement needed now! The youth need to galvanise, autonomise, express, resist and sort the shit out! If any of this meant anything - we need it now more than ever. I'm getting too old and ill but happy to lend a hand still! One love

"they're just complete fucking bastards with no soul whatsoever". ding ding ding. there's no conspiracy, or new world order, or anything organized at all, in my opinion. just a bunch of dicks who happen to run powerful countries and have no fucking clue what they're doing

[elitemathlete]

No mention of Green Day?!

[seank231]

check anarchistnews(dot)org for what the zapatista's are up to : )

Jello Biafra lost his glow long time ago. Ever heard about trade without using any money ? Or doing labour (volunteer to wipe the floor of the concert hall and then get free entrance to the DK) ? Fuck money ! Money is the root of all evil. Simply said, if you are anti-capitalist, you should hate money. I work, earn 10.000 a month, and use my money for the PLO and the RAF. just for lols.

[RichardCyberPunk]

Are the zapatista movement still alive ? I didnt hear about them for years....

[RichardCyberPunk]

Thats a pitty. Class War was a good organisation. Sad to hear this news. I was in English prison, in 1999-2000 Doncaster HMP, and one prison guard was a skinhead. He lend me many of his skinhead and anarcho magazines. Yeah, I was a political prisoner.... in England....
