LAST SHOW @ SAD RAD

8:00 pm sharp / 5$/pwyc

this night is open for any bands to play. even if you’ve never played a sad rad show, here’s your chance. we’ll have drums & some amps for anyone to use. show up, write your band name on the list, play for ten minutes & then stick around all night!

if you’ll remember back in february, sad rad organized a band lottery draw. basically random folks put their name in a hat & all the names got picked & weird bands were formed on the spot. this night will be the debut of those bands. don’t miss out!

100% huge thanks to the punks & weirdos in this city who have made a project like sad rad possible, as well as the excellent people at national radiators for being allies & supportive.

you’re all apart of this! own it!

The Working Class: still the Frankenstein it always was…but with some re-engineering

Saturday, March 2, 2pm - 4pm Sad Rad (5820 Young St.) Above National Radiator

FREE, with complimentary coffee as well

The working class…does it still matter? What about the “revolutionary force” it was once characterized as having? Well, the working class is still kicking. It is still the monster produced by Capital and as long the capitalist system exists, so does this monster that can destroy it, albeit with some significant re-constitution of its body to serve the interests of the system.

This presentation will uncover some basics on early ideas about the working class and its character, and will explain its revolutionary nature and changing shape and definition as capitalism and antagonism against it have co-evolved up to the present.

Finally, we will spend about half the presentation examining current possibilities, exploring the idea of the revolutionary worker. Join us for the presentation and discussion.

Thu, 31 Jan 2013 18:05:00 -0500

Out of the Scam and Scum: housing in a socialist context

A presentation by Stand

Time: 2:00pm - 4:00pm
Date: Saturday, February 2nd
Place: Sad Rad
5820 Young Street (on top of National Radiator)

The need to remain housed helps reproduce the worker and capitalism.
How did we get here? How does the struggle against selling our labour
for rent that profits landlords, and for control of housing, factor
into the broader struggles of the working class? What ways are
working class people trying to gain control over housing and how
effective are these strategies in confronting capitalism? A discussion
of models to work towards will follow.

Stand: A Halifax-based organization aimed at transforming our social
order through mutual aid and direct action, building towards worker
and community control of all aspects of our lives
