Black Tea Society

Yesterday, Eugene’s Black Tea Society dropped a banner, in a token gesture of support for the Egyptian Revolution, and in Solidarity with our Comrades in the Mankato Area Activist Collective. We unequivocally support the Egyptian People’s right to self-determination. We defy all attempts to demonize their revolution, and we denounce any attempts to suppress it. We are all holding our breath. Will the rebel spark which ignites a great American conflagration come from the land of the Pharaohs?

The Holiday Season is upon us once again and Eugene’s Anarchist Black Tea Society is full of the holiday spirit. As anarchists we cherish the seasonal values of gift giving and cooperation as much as that red-clad communist Santa Claus does. In fact we are so devoted to the promotion of relationships based on the spirit of generosity rather than cutthroat competition that an entire school of anarchist thought is based in the notion of “gift economics”.

To whom it may concern, We members of Eugene’s anarchist Black Tea Society are shocked and appalled by the behavior of a number of reckless hooligans during the Pacifica Forum meeting Friday, May 7th! In the early evening a putrid smell, very similar to that of looming fascism, filled Esslinger Hall. The culprit: three dozen stink bombs. What these young miscreants just don’t understand is that history has proven time and again that fascists are consistently vanquished by reasonable dialogue and passive sign holding.
