by Black Rose / Rosa Negra – External Education Committee
Black Rose / Rosa Negra invited Brazilian anarchist theorist, educator, and militant Felipe Corrêa to inaugurate our discussion seres, Organized Anarchism: A Global Perspective. Corrêa chairs the Institute for Anarchist Theory and History, is the author of the forthcoming book ‘Freedom or Death: The Theory and Practice of Mikhail Bakunin’, and is a member of Organização Socialista Libertária (OSL).
On February 25th, Corrêa gave a live presentation on the history, theory, and practice of organizational dualism – a strategic orientation within the anarchist movement often referred to as ‘organized anarchism’. Nearly 600 registered and more than 325 attended the webinar event on the day of. Following the presentation, Corrêa and members of Black Rose / Rosa Negra answered questions from the audience.
We look forward to continuing to build momentum with this series, which will feature delegates from anarchist organizations around the globe that embrace the organizational dualist tradition.
Be on the lookout for a link to register for the next event in the series, set to take place in April!
