EDITORIAL This is our first edition of a new quarterly anarchist paper. So why bother? Surely the Revolution is just a dream, a 19th century utopian myth? How can we have a society without laws and rules? It would just be chaos, a social jungle from which the strong would once more emerge to lord it over the weak. Like many words anarchism has many meanings to many different people, in a similar way to words such as socialism, democracy and freedom. To those people who identify with the word and the tradition it represents, it does not mean no rules but no rulers or bosses. Anarchism has always been more concerned with justice than the letter of the law, but anyone who gets involved with anarchist groups will soon find out that it is not a case of anything goes, even if the rules are not always clearly stated. The bottom line is treating people as equals, and in the way we would like to be treated ourselves. While there is one part of the anarchist tradition which seeks freedom from authority through an individual solution, this is not what most committed anarchists would regard as "serious" anarchism. The main tradition is one of collective organisation and struggle against the state and the bosses. That is what this paper is about, our struggle together to be free and equal. It is intended to be a forum for debate at all levels, from the nitty gritty of particular campaigns to broad theoretical articles about the meaning of life, the universe and everything. So if you,ve got something to say about a particular struggle or the whole goddam mess the world's in and what it means, write to:- the anarchist po box 332 albert st brisbane 4002
