Viva Anarchism! Part One: Seeds Beneath the Snow

'I am an anarchist! I am an antichrist!' sang the Sex Pistols' butter-loving John Lydon in 1976. But, as we'll discover in the first of this two-parter, anarchism has far more to do with allotments, lifeboats, mutual aid, self-organising and inclusivity than it does with nihilism and destruction. Thanks to our guests we will explode some of the misconceptions around anarchism, learn its key principles, consider whether it needs a rebrand and discover that most of us, at heart, adhere to many of its principles.

With Robin Gray and Katherine Hallewell from the theatre show Three Acres and a Cow, Chumbawamba's Dunstan Bruce, Warren Draper and Cath Muller from A Commune in the North and Anarchism author Carissa Honeywell.
