Anarchism and the Struggle for Zero Fare Transportation in Brazil

This session features Felipe Corrêa and Victor Khaled, coordinators of the Institute for Anarchist Theory and History (IATH) (itha-iath.org) and militants of the Libertarian Socialist Organization (OSL) in Brazil.

The talk begins with an exploration of the concept of anarchism, based on Corrêa’s book Black Flag, recently translated and published internationally. From there, the panel traces the resurgence of anarchist militancy in Brazil after the end of the military dictatorship in 1985.

Drawing from Khaled’s theoretical and practical work, they examine the struggles for public transportation in Brazil, especially during the June Protests of 2013, when the Zero Fare agenda became nationalized. Since then, Brazil has become the country with the highest number of Zero Fare cities in the world.

The session closes with a reflection on the role of anarchists in these movements — how anarchist militancy can strengthen struggles for Zero Fare, the Right to the City, and the building of mass, self-managed popular power.

The NYC Anarchist Book Fair has gathered thousands of anarchists, supporters, and curious folks since 2007 on Lenape land, creating space to learn about anarchist traditions, philosophy, praxis, and anti-capitalist struggle.
