Anarchist gathering in Hiroshima
|
|
|
|
The anarchist gathering will be held in Hiroshima on 6th August 1994.
|
|
There are 2 important meanings to have this gathering.
|
|
First, 6th August is the day when the first atomic-bomb was
|
|
dropped in 1945, and it was a clue to bring the defeat of
|
|
Japanese imperialism. However, now, the Japanese state drifts
|
|
toward re-invasion while the government send overseas its own
|
|
full-armed forces called Self-Defense Force/SDF, in the name of
|
|
"international contribution" by United Nations.
|
|
Hiroshima still remains its roll as the city of military base as
|
|
it was before the atomic bomb has dropped.
|
|
When Japanese people talk about the war, they always talk like
|
|
"no more Hiroshima and Nagasaki", putting their place as
|
|
"a suferer of the war", not as a assailant of the war which
|
|
caused massacre in many asian countries.
|
|
We have to determine ourselves that how we should cope with this
|
|
matter, as an anarchist.
|
|
Second, we must focus on "the problem of anarchist co-working or
|
|
co-operation". We anarchists have minor influence in this
|
|
society and losing attraction gradually while some anarchists
|
|
are being separated as a "traditional manner" of Japanese
|
|
anarchists. That is the one of the main obstacles that prevent
|
|
making our existence effective to the society.
|
|
We should respect several different perspectives, influences and
|
|
tendencies of or among the group as long as coming toghether
|
|
under the thought of anarchist perspective.
|
|
We hope this gathering could be an opportunity for the anarchist
|
|
deep and fruitful discussion. For instance, 2 different factions
|
|
from IWA-Japanese section will take part in this gathering.
|
|
We have been dedicating many of our time and vigor for the
|
|
success of this gathering.
|
|
We are planning to have the lecture, video playing and discussion
|
|
at the moment now.
|
|
If you are interested, your participation is always welcome.
|
|
Or send us your message for the gathering to our liaison address.
|
|
That is also appreciated. That can be a proof of anarchist
|
|
solidarity over the state-borders.
|
|
In solidarity,
