Our Enemies in Blue: Police and Power in America by Kristian Williams

“Even critics have a difficult time imagining a world without police. But just what is the role of police in a democracy: to serve the public or to protect the powerful? Tracing the evolution of the modern police force back to the slave patrols, this controversial study observes the police as the armed defender of a violent status quo.

SATURDAY, MAY 10th at the SIXTH STREET COMMUNITY CENTER, from 1-5pm.

638 East 6th Street between Aves B & C. F/V to 2nd Ave, or 6 to Astor Place, or L to 1st Ave.

You will notice, below, that this General Assembly's agenda structure is radically different from past assemblies. Nuts and Bolts attendees have worked hard to create a format that will allow for LESS time dedicated to internal business, and MORE time allocated to discussion groups, organizing, and creating community. Overall, we hope the G.A. will be shorter and more enjoyable. *Please take a moment to look at the agenda below *(soak it in! There's singing!).

Thursday, January 31 at 6:30pm:

" Abolition of the State: Anarchist and Marxist Perspectives" by Wayne Price

"Both Anarchists and Marxists believe that it will be possible to do away with the state. But what do they mean by that? What is the state, after all? What institutions, if any, would be necessary to replace its functions? Would a transitional "dictatorship of the proletariat" be needed or will it be possible to immediately abolish the state? Does modern technology require a centralized institution such as the state? Throughout the history of revolutions, the people have created workplace councils and neighborhood assemblies--how could these replace the state?"
