Location: 774 Richmond St. W. (Just south of Queen and Niagra) Time: 7pm-9pm

This course serves as a general introduction to the ideas of Anarchism, or rather, anarchy. Misconceptions will be confronted, concerning both the traditional views of anarchy, and lesser vilified ideas such as capitalism and democracy. Participants will study historical outbreaks of anarchy in the hopes that they come to recognize instances of anarchy already functioning in their own lives, and ways in which those instances can be applied as models for the rest of society.
