In one way it can be read as an extended footnote to Paul Goodman's manifesto quoted in our last issue: "The society I live in is mine; open to my voice and action, or I do not live there at all." Though our contributors are unlikely to vote for either group on the city Council, it is evident that they are convinced that the city is theirs and that it is up to them to make it more like a town that would satisfy their needs and aspirations, their idea of a good life. This is the difference between the approach advocated in this journal and that of the politicians. Anarchism is decentralist, based on the person and his individual fulfilment; the politicians, from left to right, are centralisers, seeking the support of masses, seeking to manipulate masses, to control masses'. (Quote taken from the back cover) ***An interesting and uncommon pamphlet - of great interest to collectors of anarchist ephemera and publications, and Nottingham related material. ***For all our books, postage is charged at cost, allowing for packaging: any shipping rates indicated on ABE are an average only: we will reduce the P & P charge where appropriate - please contact us for postal rates for heavier books and sets etc.
