  1. I would have come, but I didn’t know on time. I will make it as soon as I can. I’m new to London and want to get involved with whatever is left after this meeting

  2. As anarchists and as revolutionaires with our goals on the future as well as the present, we need to organize around an eco-system NOT an ego-system
