NYC Anarchist Book Fair 2009 From Mutual Aid to Collective Reproduction in the Capitalist Crisis 12 April 2009 Judson Memorial Church
Presented by Silvia Federici and George Caffentzis
The theme of mutual aid is important to the anarchist tradition, but how do we imagine cooperation in the time of capitalist crisis? Building collective forms of reproduction and understanding how we can overcome the divisions between us is a crucial task if we are to resist exploitation and oppression and create an equitable society. These divisions are continuously recreated and are our fundamental weakness. Thus we need to develop the tools to overcome them. Sivlia Federici, author, scholar, and feminist, will draw out the significance of collective reproduction in our struggles against capitalism. We will discuss how our anti-capitalist struggles can foster forms of support and develop our ability to collectively organize our own reproduction.
