  • The Self-Management Group (SMG)
    'A map of the world that includes Utopia': The Self-Management Group and the Brisbane libertarians Tim Briedis A thesis presented in partial fulfilment of the requirements of the degree of Bachelor of Arts (Honours) at the University of Sydney, October 5, 2010. 1 Abstract This thesis explores a slice of Brisbane's radical history. I focus on the Self-Management Group (SMG), a revolutionary organisation that flourished from 1971-1977. The SMG formed as Brisbane activism shifted from a politics based around conscience to a revolutionary subjectivity. In 1977, the SMG dissolved. Three new organisations were formed, one of which became the Brisbane Greens in 1984. I examine the potential and pitfalls of radical organisation. While the SMG had flaws, its practice was strengthened by a utopian desire, a creative flair and a sense of how the political relates to everyday life. I argue that such utopian desire is relevant to a revitalisation of political radicalism today. 2 Acknowledgements This thesis would not have been possible without the support that I received from others. Dave, Susan, Kristy, Ack, Steve and Em allowed me to stay in their homes during my numerous research trips to Brisbane. Many thanks to the former SMG members and the other Brisbane radicals who gladly shared their memories with me. In particular, thanks to Ian Rintoul, Frank Jordan, John Jiggens and Greg George, whose personal collections of leaflets and paraphernalia were invaluable. The Fryer librarians tolerated my incessant requests for photocopying and helped me negotiate their vast array of archival material. Thanks to my parents who supported me constantly, despite my fairly idiosyncratic interests.

    Anarchists seek a society founded on cooperation, self‑management, common ownership of wealth, democracy from below and production for the sake of need rather than profit. Instead of society based on political and economic exploitation of the many by the few, anarchists envision a socialist society in which hierarchical relationships of power and all forms of domination are avoided.
