What is the Vrije Bond Groningen?
The Vrije Bond Groningen is a group of people who wish to build a better world. A world not based on oppression, exploitation and authority, but rather on freedom, equality and self-organisation. A world without capitalism and the state. This aim can be summed up in one word: anarchism. We are a part of the largest anarchist federation in the Netherlands and Dutch-speaking parts of Belgium: The Vrije Bond. As the Vrije Bond Groningen we work to spread the ideals of anarchism in the northernmost province of the Netherlands.
What does the Vrije Bond Groningen do?
The members of the Vrije Bond Groningen all contribute to the radical movement in their own way. We organise with friends, neighbors and colleagues to realize our ideals. This can take the form of protests, lectures, movie nights and other actions. These actions are connected by a unifying principle: We believe that people cannot be emancipated from above, but should be helped to free themselves. For this reason we do not have faith in electoral politics but use horizontal direct action to achieve our goals. This means that there are no representatives or leaders who tell the rest what to do and take action for them.Instead we want people that are aided to improve their own situations and act autonomously. In our view, this is the way to a better future.
