British Anarchist Federation: ideas and fight
2. Anarhokomunizam
BAF is part of the anarchist tradition anarhokomunizma that believes in the importance of developing an active organization based on the working class (in the widest definition) and active on many fronts. The difference with anarhosindikalistite - although part of the same tradition (and anarhokomunisti anarhosindikalisti are often a common organization in countries like Spain, France and Italy), they have different tactics and strategies.
BAF acknowledges that the UK situation today is much more conducive to movement. Pravitelstovoto seriously discredited, workers fed them more than inflation, low or no salary increases, especially given that their bosses' salaries are significantly higher. According to BAF creation of anarchist syndicate is a small part of overall strategy and even be created, it must be adapted to the context of revolutionary anarchist principles.
Anarhokomunizmat rejected also "green" and "lifestyle" anarchists. Although the environment is a key element in the activities of the federation, it may not be a priority over any other issue. Fortunately, some people refuse to accept bourgeois codes, but the revolution will not happen with other clothing or living in squats. Similar forms of "alternative lifestyle" is short and these people are fast becoming pillars of the established order. Anarchism must be reflected in all our lives - whether they work, have children, or pay off loans. Ultimately, anarchists should be part of the working class, not to move in its own ghetto "alternative activists" without acquiring any artificial stereotype of the "working class". Anarchist movement must be composed of different people who are not subject to stereotypes. Important ideas, experience, commitment and responsibility of man. Similarly, British anarchists reject "insurgency" or "violent anarchism" as a means to an anarchist society. Some may be annoyed by the fact that they can effectively rebel against our oppressors, but unfortunately the fight no shortcuts. In the culture of our society is the concept of character that plays a major role in fighting the enemy. This is an illusion. Only with the daily organization and struggle may occur actual revolutionary moments. "Heroes" can not replace the mass struggle. Moreover, individual acts of violence provoke retaliation in times when traffic is not yet ready to defend himself.
As the Italian Anarchist Federation, said recently on the occasion wrong ґ connection with a letter-bomb: "Anarchism is not delivered by mail."
BAF's position is that there are situations where such actions are justified, but only when they are directly related to the broader movement and supported it.
3. Practice
Faculty members are involved in various activities. They support initiatives such as protests against the G8 as part of the struggle to create a culture of resistance. Such events are not priority - more important are daily activities for the dissemination of anarchist ideas and actions within the labor movement.
4. Join the movement
AF supports and works with any accepted primary objective of establishing a federation anarchist society. The future of anarchism in Britain see the long-term commitment and perseverance, as the future of all of us depends on it.
5. Development of the Federation in recent years
In recent years, BAF was able to form groups in many parts of Britain, including Scotland. The members have different interests and participate in various campaigns, including the fight against the introduction of ID cards and government repression, the shares "without borders" and support for refugees - work activities, activities within the educational system, participating in activities such as campaigns against G8 priorodozashtitni camps operating in the municipalities for housing issues, activities against the Olympics, fascism shares.
Organized educational meetings and summer camps, during which discussions on the theory and practice of movement.
Big disappointment means the removal of members from Ireland for personal reasons. However, preferably the emergence of Irish federation to focus entirely on the island. Contacts with BAF Organize in North Iralndiya have become significantly narrower.
