Theory

Many believe that the Federal Reserve is some government entity that is created in the United States in order to hold some large amount of gold or money to pay for the United States debt. In contrast, the Federal Reserve is not federal, and there are no reserves in it. In contrast, it is something that is a collection of big banks, a cartel, that is meant to increase the interests of its shareholders, such as the big banks and their affiliates. The rest of the world is going to have no money to retire on while the biggest of banks are reaping many dollars from the American public.

Someone asked today what my thoughts were regarding where activists and organizers should be focusing their time and energy. It can be easy to get caught up in the day to day, and just continue to do things the way we’ve been used to for years. It can also be easy to feel like our efforts only continue to be futile despite long, hard fought struggles and victories. Regardless, conditions have been changing in the US and across the world since 20, 30, 50 years ago. We have seen many victories, have felt many losses, and have watched many of our victories not fully realized.

This is a call to all Autonomous / Anti-authoritarian / Anarchist People Of Color across North America to begin assembling APOC formations in your hoods, communities and regions!

A small but nationwide listserv is in the early stages of planning a national APOC gathering in the coming year. APOCistas on the conference list are encouraged by APOC gatherings that have taken place recently at anarchist bookfairs, conferences and convergences across the country, which have been spurred in part by conversations occurring on a national level.
