Listen "Irish Anarchist Network"
Episode Synopsis
In this episode we speak to two members of the Irish Anarchist Network, Nestor and Saornil. The Irish Anarchist Network was formed in 2022 by a number of independent anarchists.
We discuss the formation and growth of the network and how they went about organising and structuring it; their orientation towards direct action and the balance between practical activism and theoretical discussion; their own individual backgrounds and attraction to anarchism; and contemporary issues in Irish society and approaches to the far-right.
You can find out more about the Irish Anarchist Network on their Instagram @irish_anarchist_network or Twitter @acrataireland.
Our guests also mentioned a trans squat in Dublin, which you can support by getting in touch on Instagram :@macabratz.
