“The questions [anarcho-punk] posed remain urgent. How might a generation facing ecological collapse, genocide and economic precarity reinvent circuits of solidarity? How can it buy time to experiment outside of waged labour? What role could music play in collective refusal? “We were an anarchist affinity group first,” reflects Bruce, “part of a generation lucky enough to live off a functioning benefit system. We just happened to use music as our main form of propaganda. Anarcho-punk wasn’t a soundtrack to revolt – it was a form of revolt. Its organisation prefigured the world we wanted: mutual aid, direct democracy, collective action.”
The London based MayDay Rooms’ anarcho-punk archive is a valuable resource for radical cultures and politics today, writes Seth Wheeler in The Wire 503/4.
