We are for the revolution without borders, through generalized insurrection against all States, against Capital and property, through the abolition of the commodity, of money, of work, of the family… The creation of a new world free from exploitation and oppression can not be detached from the destruction of the existing society.
In the uprisings and struggles of these times, we have acted to extend the revolutionary movement, against the nationalist and reformist tendencies and leadership, and more broadly against all those who seek to draw back the movements towards the existing order. We have met comrades, far beyond militant circles, who, like us, want to take action to step beyond the daily struggle for survival. Within uprisings around the world, autonomous dynamics are concretely raising the question of revolution in their practice. We share the same aim. We are linked to a history, that of the revolutionary class struggle.
In current times, our class is struggling and fighting. How to reach the worldwide revolution ?
This website is a means among others, not an end in itself. A tool to forge links, to meet and participate, with others, in this worldwide collective effort to break through the fog of the present. In order to do so, we want to:
• Report on the current uprisings
Participate in elaborating evaluations of recent uprisings, to grasp their dynamics, their strengths and limitations. How do uprisings spread? What relationship do they have with each other and how can this be strengthened? What dynamics are at work? How is the collective experience of these movements built? How can it be shared and transmitted? Why are we unable to move beyond the stage of uprising to social revolution? Attempting to answer these questions requires exchanges, meetings, the collection of stories, the production of reports, and their dissemination.
• Work on the elaboration of a collective vision about the revolution and its victory
For us, the victory of revolution is called communism and anarchy. We reject the identitarian division between these two terms. We are communists therefore anarchists, and we are anarchists therefore communists. However, these tags are tricky : it is better to define the content of revolution. We want to work on the flourishing of debates about the content of revolution – not as a social ideal but as a strategy for the destruction of capitalist civilization. Let’s compare strategies, let’s make scenarios, let’s submit hypotheses to critique! In short, let’s weave a vision of revolution, of communism and anarchy against the false reformist solutions and against this disarming capitalist immediacy.
• Promote the real struggles facing our class in everyday life
Strikes, work stoppage, informal struggles, sabotage, resistance at work, and mutual aid… are fertile ground for uprisings, precisely because they nurture collaboration, build bonds of confidence which can be very precious and useful in the moment when a social explosion arises. It is also the moment when the limits of daily mutual aid and the dead-end of reformism can be felt, giving us the desire to go further. We therefore collect accounts of struggles, ideas and tools, and we promote them by all the means at our disposal.
