Autonomous Web of Liberation
CALL FOR DIRECT ACTION RESISTANCE TO CAPITALISM
Mayday ( May 1st ) is a day to celebrate working class solidarity and
resistance to Capitalism. In keeping with this tradition AWOL ( Autonomous
Web of Liberation ) is calling for an anti-capitalist, anti-authoritarian
day of action.
AWOL is working towards an action around the idea of' Liberate the Streets
' in the City of Melbourne. We are calling on all anti-capitalist groups
and individuals who believe in consensus decision making, direct action and
who organise on the basis of non-hierachy ( autonomous from all
centralisation and bureacracy ), to co-ordinate with us for this action.
We are also calling on you to organise your own actions, affinity groups,
clusters, net-works and co-ordinations against Capitalism on Mayday.

Mayday , May 1st is a day of anti-capitalist action and to remember and
take inspiration from those who have fought before us. To fight back
against bosses and Capitalists at work and in the unions and those who try
to control our lives. Mayday incorporates the struggles of all oppressed
peoples, resistance to police corruption and surveillance, freedom of
speech, freedom of assembly and for radical egalitarian futures.
It is a time to remember struggles like the workers struggle for the 8 hour
day in Chicago, USA, 1886. The demonstration was attacked by 176 armed
police, a bomb thrown by unknown persons, resulted in open fire on the
crowd, killing 4 workers and some of their own officers.
8 Anarchists were framed for this attack, a number not even being in
attendance at the time of attack, 'Anarchy was on trial. ' These events and
the recognition of brave struggles against bosses and bureaucrats and
capitalists are a reminder of what the state and capitalists do to us
everyday, and why it is important to resist on Mayday, bring struggles
together and always fight back.

We hope to occupy and liberate a piece of land, to create a commons for
community celebration, a world turned upside down, a glimpse of freedom and
ecological survival. A place to share our dreams and visions, an example
of a world of respect for diversity and acceptance of difference, direct
democracy and community control of resources, free from the tyranny of
money, bosses and leaders.
