Camp Anarchy March 2024
Camp Eureka, Yarra Junction
March 9-11, 2024

Camp Anarchy - March edition is a chance to connect with community and commune with nature. Relax by the fire in the revegetated surrounds and sleep under the stars or in one of the original Communist Youth League model huts imported from the now Czech Republic.

Bring your ideas for an egalitarian, worker centered future free of capitalist oppression. Stalls and workshop proposals welcome.

Communal meals will be vegetarian/vegan with GF option. Kids are welcome as are dogs but keep the latter on a lead please as wildlife live here too.

Cost is $45 night including meals (for waged), kids free. $25 per night unwaged, free admission to BIPOC, and no one turned away for lack of funds.

The location is on Wurundjeri Country at Yarra Junction (at Camp Eureka- we have the entire camp) , one and half hours outta the city (Naarm). Starts on Saturday morning 11th March and goes til Monday morning 13th March (public holiday). We only have a few wheel chair access cabins so please let us know your needs asap and send an email so we can discuss.

This is a kid and dog friendly event, please note there is a creek on the camp property.

Take responsibility to ensure the dog you care for is maintaining respect for campers and wildlife (we prefer leads on at dusk to ensure wildlife is safe and no dogs near creek).

Meals are communal and we encourage all to be involved in cooking and cleaning, sharing delicious veggie and vegan food with the camp Anarchy community (a white board is in the communal room to fill in roster board)...

There are wood-fired showers and composting toilets. Wood available for fires (must be in allocated pits) to sit around at night and soak in the clean smells of bush and see the stars.

The cabins are a first in first served basis - who ever rolls up first gets first pick. There are grounds for park up vehicles and tents (not powered- but there are power outlets in communal spaces). This is of course a Rainbow family friendly event.

Hahaha... FECK OFF. Motels are charging about the same price just for allowing people to pitch their tents on a lawn, and your approach is... to do the same. Are you idiots or just liberal capitalists?

Still unconfirmed, but in other news I heard there's a Rainbow gathering in Tasmania happening around the same time. RGs are free and collaborative for everyone. Do things the anarchy way and quit being beaten at it by stoners and hippies.

This look so fucking stupid are there even any cool anarchists in australia or are they all radlibs like this? I would literally buy a plane ticket (I live in Maine) and go to this just to steal camping equipment from these people

I'm one of the few cool anarchs in Australia and will have nothing to do with these imposters, and live on my lone with my Stirner beside me!

this is what happens when anarchists who aren't anti civ try to have a gathering in the wilderness. enjoy getting eaten lmao

1- mow the grass every fucking morning or noon with noisy machines like lives depend on it
2- get a girlfriend and make babies, you loser
3- get a joooob!
4- so that we gotta pay pay pay for every single thing of our daily lives
5- cars, and more cars. And idiots chopping the few wild outgrowths in the back alley of a shop with a specialized gas-powered tool.

hopefully civ will advance enough that one day we wouldn't have to do #2, #3, and #4! :)

now, no need to be so rude! it's just trivially evident that #1 and #5 are not prerequisites for breaking out of the tyranny of instinct.

civcuck is a term of endearment from the eco nihilists, it's like when an aussie calls you a cunt, it's about tone

And you thought that's a two-fold trick to keep the "cis heteronormatives" out while LGBTQ neolibs have it their ways with kids?

Let's unveil this 3rd fold where that's actually a honeypot set up by fascists to attract and round up their "Trans pedo" archnemesis!? Aaaaaaah!

Regardless how many folds this event has, there's "sham" written all over it.

hate to shatter your paranoid fantasies about honeypots and so on but this is actually a yearly event that's been going on for years! might not be everyone's cup of tea, but anarchism is a very broad church so to speak in so-called australia - I mean have you seen the size of the place? it's a huge continent, so lots of different types of anarchists scattered all over the place!

Ah yes... that Broad Church. Or shall I say that Big Tent?

...

......

So anyways.. just coz it's a broad church doesn't justify including ancap practices, and other authoritarian bullshit you may be into. Sorry!

But anyway good luck handling those fare-dodgers with your ID Police, and make sure to reportback on how everyone has conformed seamlessly to the "anarchist" decree, MATE!

(In other news, Australianarchist are well on their way to be the new laughing stock of other anarchist communities worldwide)

Currently working on our anarchy camp announcement coming out soon and just thinking of redoing it lampooning this event call.

But seriously, is there no public land in Australia? It's a huge vast wilderness, how is this a pay event. Wth are people actually getting? If you're going to throw an event that has an entrance fee might as well do it at a damn beach resort. Like, mfers are paying for something that is free!

I've never been but it's there a huge camping/traveling culture there?

If by "public land" you mean "land forcibly expropriated by a cross-class alliance of genocidal white people because stonks" - the entire continent is "public land"

Uhhumm excuse me old chap but King Charles regards all public land in Australia as Crown Land, jolly good show what? mmmkay!

Oooo-kay... so have a look at this.

Instead of not-paying King Charles for squatting his lands without his approval and turn it into an actual anarchist camp that could double as a kind of standing protest, you instead choose to pay some little sub-landlord for doing your neolib ID politics on some private land for the FULL legalist experience, coz "think of Workers!" n stuff. Makes sense!

Btw, any game of Anti-Oppression Olympics in the program?

About 150 yrs ago an Irish outlaw, named Ned Kelly was the closest thing to being a true anarch, you know, robbed banks, killed cops, that sort of thing. They were called bushrangers and could live off the land without civilization, though they loved their horses.

Neither, the forest is too ableist and camping is all oppressions combined.
