Overthrowing Bourgeois Democracy with Peter Gelderloos

Monday, March 1st, 8pm, join Sedition in welcoming a panel of anarchists from Greece, Spain and the United States (including author and organizer Peter Gelderloos) as we discuss:

Overthrowing Bourgeois Democracy

People fighting for a more fair, free, and sustainable world often assume democracy to be a positive value, an ideal worth achieving more in full, even as they often find themselves silenced or even repressed by democratic governments.

What is it about the history and structure of democracies that make them inherently antagonistic or manipulative towards social movements?

Why is seeking dialogue with or representation in democratic governments self-defeating in the long term?

This presentation will explore the possibility that democratic government is in fact the most efficient form of totalitarianism ever developed, and that people who want a more free society may need to rethink their relationship with their government.

There will be copies of How Non-Violence Protects the State, other books, zines and music for sale as well.
