“The society which has abolished every kind of adventure makes its own abolition the only possible adventure.” Paris, May 1968

As we don't see it.

In 1967 the Solidarity group published a summary of their views entitled As We See It and some years later, in an effort to clear up any ambiguities or misunderstandings went on to publish a more detailed, but still short, statement called As We Don't See It. I recently came across my old copy and sat down to re-read it. Even after all this time, and in spite being written against a background of the Cold War and a very different world, it remains in my view one of the clearest pieces of writing to come out of the  libertarian movement. Well worth the effort of trying to get hold of a copy at the Anarchist Book Fair.
