The chunky 24 page booklet contains biographies, info, rare photos and contact details with a foreword written by Penny Rimbaud, founder member of Crass, that recalls the time when punk meant so much more than fashion, hairstyle and pop tunes and was a rallying call to the many thousands of young punks who formed bands, pressure groups, campaigned against the war machine, protested against capitalism, collectively created their own local scene, wrote fanzines and marched against injustice.

Anti-Capitalism is the perfect introduction and soundtrack to the underground and cutting edge of the punk scene at the time, when revolution seemed not just necessary but inevitable.
