Radical Sunday School: Autonomy, Authority, Anarchism, and Abuse: What does (un)freedom feel like?

- November 23rd, 2024

Sunday November 24, 2024, Radical Sunday School: Autonomy, Authority, Anarchism, and Abuse: What does (un)freedom feel like? From 18:00 till 20:00.What does it feel like to be controlled? Why would a person seemingly “let” someone else, or an entire group of people, make decisions for them?

In this week’s session of Radical Sunday School, we’re going to talk about a difficult topic: controlling relationships. So-called “partner abuse”, “high-control groups” (aka cults), and even totalitarian states are all examples of a dangerous kind of social control that is unfortunately common in our world. We’ll discuss some of the common signs of this kind of abuse, the psychology that seems to be behind it, and the ways that anarchist principles might help us fight against it. As we learn together about what’s been called “the killing of the self”, we’ll try to support each other with insights from diverse anarchists and antifascists, philosophers and therapists. Most importantly, we want to hear from anyone who has ever lived through an experience like this: how have you learned to get away from this kind of social control, and how can we help each other to live free?
