Socialist Book Club - Anarchism a Marxist Critique
Tuesday April 28th, 2026 from 6 to 8 PM @ Red Flag Books, 83 Sydney Road Brunswick
Join us at Red Flag Books at 6pm on the last Tuesday of every month to discuss key Marxist texts. Whether you're new to Socialist politics, or a veteran revolutionary, everybody is welcome.
The ideas of anarchism have a long history on the left. They have inspired and influenced thousands of radicals across many generations. Yet experience has shown that anarchism – even at its most heroic – is inadequate as a theory for understanding society, or as a method for changing it. So how can we realise the vision of a classless, stateless, and fully emancipated society?
This reader puts together some of the best contemporary Marxist writing on the topic. Available here or at Red Flag Books: 83 Sydney Road, Brunswick, 3056.
John Molyneux puts forward a systematic critique of anarchist approaches to the state, political organisation, and the individual. Also included are articles by Paul Blackledge and Mick Armstrong, forming an educational package perfect for those investigating the Marxist analysis of anarchism.
