Anarchism 2026 (quokk.au)
submitted 3 days ago* (last edited 3 days ago) by Quokka@quokk.au to c/events@quokk.au
 
 

Anarchism 2026 is a public, one-day conference hosted by the Anarchist Communist Federation (ACF). Join us for a day of talks, panels and discussions exploring foundational anarchist ideas, working-class histories, today’s political landscape, and real organising lessons from the ground.

If you’re curious about anarchism, new to political organising, or already involved and wanting to connect with others, you’re absolutely welcome. Come along, ask questions, meet people, and take part in conversations about building power and the work ahead.

The venue is accessible, close to public transport, and welcoming to people of all abilities.

A full program of talks and panels will be released closer to the date.

Why

While the colony rallies behind glossy “March for Australia” displays and politicians keep insisting we’re all moving forward together, our communities are watching a very different story unfold in NSW. One where governments expand police powers that hit our young people first, child removals keep rising despite endless promises of change, and decisions about Country are made without the people who hold the oldest authority here. It’s been a year where national pride is being marketed louder than ever, yet the truth of ongoing harm, dispossession, and state violence is pushed further out of sight.

In 2025 in New South Wales alone, 12 Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people have died in custody so far, the highest number on record for any year. In NSW, Aboriginal children make up around 40% of all kids in “care”, despite being a tiny fraction of the child population.

And all of this is happening as the world watches multiple genocides unfold overseas, with Australia refusing to take a meaningful stance beyond carefully managed statements and political distance. The Albanese and Minns governments sit on their hands, offering sympathy without action, while communities across this continent rally in solidarity because we recognise state violence when we see it. Instead of listening, governments clamp down on protest, censor voices, and criminalise resistance; the same tactics historically used against our own people. It’s no coincidence: a nation built on dispossession will always try to control the voices that call it out, whether those voices are fighting for justice here or standing with communities fighting for survival abroad.

The Blak Caucus is calling people together because sovereignty has never been ceded, and because every struggle our communities face is tied to a system built on invasion, genocide and lies.
