The State - News from July 24, 1989

The fourth annual anarchists’ convention in San Francisco attracted more than 1,000 people, including poets, musicians, teachers, drifters, clerks, parents, scholars and hundreds of young adults and teen-agers, many wearing leather outfits, dirty denim jackets and torn jeans. The program included workshops entitled “Anarchy 101,” “Fighting Against the War on Drugs,” and “Slaying Christ,” a discussion on how to rid the world of patriarchal religions. Anarchists reportedly believe that every form of regulation or government is immoral and that it is evil for one person to restrain another.
