Dress like Alexander Berkman

Only most outrageous agent on bourgeoisie would claim Oscar Wilde, Alexander Berkman or rest of the anarchists lacked style 100 years ago.

But since then, anarchist swag has been lost and movement is in a crisis.

Change will come Wednesday 10th of August in anarchist Black Kallio festival in Helsinki, from 4 PM at infoshop Mustan Kanin Kolo (Hämeentie 26). 

First anarchosyndicalist and specialist of unionism and stylish outlook Niko Ravattinen will explain basics issues, followed by a shopping tour of second hand clothing, after which a new style will be designed for workshop participators.

Time to give up bourgeois tastelesness. Style is a basic right of the proletariat!
