Norwich Anarchists is an umbrella group that seeks to promote and campaign on various political, social, economic and environmental issues.

As a group we believe that society would be better for everyone if run along anarchist lines. In terms of organisation we wish primarily to have freedom from all imposed authority. As anarchists we are against all forms of goverrnment and wish to see local communities run by direct democracy, so that people are in control of their lives and communities.

We aim for economic as well as political change. We want freedom from economic exploitation. Under the current capitalist system, the working and middle classes do not receive the full products of our labour. The ruling class, who own the means of production, land and resources profit from our labour and our ideas. We believe this to be an unfair distribution of land and resources. We therefore support the abolition of capitalism and any other economic systems that create social classes.

We wish to create a classless society, where people interact with each other as equals, not as servants and masters. We want freedom from discrimination based on race, gender, sexuality, nationality or spiritual beliefs. We support various forms of active struggle against these forms of discrimination.

Anarchism is a very misunderstood political philosophy. For a detailed explanation of what anarchists believe, you might want to visit The Anarchist FAQ.

Here is a much shorter, less detailed FAQ for people without unnaturally large attention spans.

Please note that anarchism is a libertarian strand within the socialist movement. It has nothing to do with unrestrained capitalism or free markets and if you advocate either of these things we don't want to be friends with you and neither does anyone else.
