...but I wonder how many undercovers will turn up. is this safe? How can you ensure you aren't infiltrated? I'd bet there'd be at least two.

The only way to be sure that undercovers will never attend your public meetings is never to hold a public meeting. I'm sure the people going along to Ideas & Action know enough not to stand up in the middle of a meeting and shout, "I've got the guns and bombs - who'll join me in an attack on the Dail?!"
If you're going to plan something illegal, obviously you should do it in private. But if you're just worried about being marked as a possible subversive, not only should you avoid meetings like I&A, you should also stay away from demonstrations and protests.
You'll never win people over to your ideas if you're afraid to express them in public...

What is the Anarchist defense fund?

author by Harry Pollit - Anarchist Federationpublication date Wed May 15, 2002 14:41author address author phone

An effort by a number of anarchists to provide a permanent fund - a kitty - which will be drawn on to assist activists who find themselves in the wrong part of a courtroom.

One of France's best revolutionary activists and thinkers, he was best known in Ireland as the author of books such as Fascism and Big Business, 100 Years of Labour in the USA and Anarchism.

Within France he was well known, not only for his prolific writings, but also as a long standing trade union militant of the CGT; as a veteran anti-imperialist who supported the victims of French aggression in Indo-China, Algeria and today the Kanaks of New Caledonia; as a fighter for gay rights (he was bisexual) in the 'Homosexual Front for Revolutionary Action'.
