Federation of Anarchist Communists
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Federation of Anarchist Communists was established in 1986 in Italy from the fusion of the Organizzazione Rivoluzionaria Anarchica (Revolutionary Anarchist Organisation) and the Unione dei Comunisti Anarchici della Toscana (Tuscan Union of Anarchist Communists). It has offices and member groups in various Italian regions as well as Portugal, Switzerland and France.
It is a part of the international Anarchist Communist movement and traces its roots to the historically important theories in the Piattaforma Organizzativa dei Comunisti Anarchici (Organisational Platform of Anarchist Communism), first put forward in France in 1926 by Russian refugees including Nestor Makhno Ida Mett and Piotr Arshinov. From these roots, it draws the founding principles:
- The unity of theory and strategy.
- Tactical homogeneity.
- Federal structure.
- Internal collective responsibility for miliant activities.
Its highest internal decision-making body is its National Congress (composed of all members) which elects a Council of Delegates who manage the organisation between congresses.
Its political activities tend towards the self-organisation of its base of support through political struggle, in the workplace and social arena alike, and in labour unions as well as other political movements. It encourages close study of the civil economy and the evolution of capitalist political institutions.
