Wayne Price is a long-time revolutionary activist and writer. He has been active in labor, human rights, and antiwar struggles, and writes regularly for anarkismo.net, for The Utopian, and for The Northeastern Anarchist. He has written The Abolition of the State: Anarchist & Marxist Perspectives, which is now being translated into Spanish. Previously a member of the Love & Rage Revolutionary Anarchist Federation, he is now a member of the NYC local of the Northeastern Federation of Anarchist-Communists (NEFAC).

Wayne will present on The Abolition of the State. Revolutionary anarchists oppose all forms of domination and oppression: class, race, national, gender, sexual orientation, etc. Important in maintaining all oppression is the state. Both anarchists and Marxists talk about abolishing the state. But what does this mean? What actually is the state? How could it be abolished? What could replace it? What lessons can be learned from past revolutions? How can our theories about the state affect our present-day organizing and thinking?

Sponsored by the Revolutionary Autonomous Communities and the NorthEastern Federation of Anarchist-Communists.
