Mutual aid is a foundational element of Anarchism, but it is often difficult to translate theory into meaningful action while surviving the hellscape of late stage capitalism. Still, up and down the land there are a variety of practical examples from Food not Bombs stands, to Community Toolsheds, and Infoshops. Free Shops often go under the radar, but can be a vital link for many. If you go down to Boscome in Bournemouth on a Friday, outside Costa, you’ll find the Boscome Free Shop, week in, week out, being there, making their community better. We wanted to know more so asked them not only why, but how they do this and how can others looking to find a way to make their anarchism practical start their own.
