In June there was a discussion on the program of the International Brotherhood of Bakunin. The discussion is part of a series of meetings on the program texts of anarchist organizations. The goal is to reach agreement and to facilitate the work of compiling a revolutionary, modern and comprehensive program of FAB. Moderator of the meeting was Zlatko. The discussion moved on it proposed questions:

Why bother with "theories"?

What is a program

What is special about the program of Bakunin

Structure of the Program

End

Time

Principles

Clarification of concepts

Revolution

The role of the Brotherhood in the revolutionary process

Tactics

Requirements to the philosophy of the revolutionary

Requirements for the practice of revolutionary

Personal qualities of a revolutionary

One of the highlights was the question of revolution. Since "all authority has no other purpose than to perpetuate" (Bakunin), the role of the revolutionary organization, "when rebellion happens, it takes the organization of society in their hands - not a revolution, and to direct the actions of people "(Konstantinov). According to Bakunin and Konstantinov within society tends to create bezvlastnicheski structures. Anarchist "organization helps to strengthen these trends" (Konstantinov). Bakunin, "analyzes the world revolutionary experience of the revolutionary creativity of the masses" (Konstantinov). He regarded the revolution as a global player. Its program and statutes of the International Brotherhood were written in the supranational framework, "but then the world was Europe '(Konstantinov). Therefore, among the debaters was questioned at a "high end I was in Bulgaria to talk about the global scale, although there is no alternative" (Zlatko). In response Konstantinov noted that "revolution is not a single and simultaneous act and can last for decades, revolutions leave traces."

He was concerned the problem of freedom, and the question of atheism Bakunin, because according to Konstantinov "no more extreme in the world atheist philosophy of Bakunin." According to Bakunin revolutionary "to be atheist and wants with us for every person here and now on earth, everything that religions are ported and attributed the heavens and their gods: truth, freedom, justice, happiness, generosity, kindness . He must recognize that morality, regardless of any divine theology and metaphysics, there is no other source than the collective consciousness of people. "

Another highlight was the question for the family. According to Konstantinov "family is one of the foundations of today's society, alongside the state, church and capital. Marriage is a priest and the mayor "and" Parenthood is not necessarily a problem in the family. "

Of course "thesis of the whole meeting" (Zlatko) was the need to program: "To make possible such a union, those who produce should have beliefs and goals match, otherwise they would never agree" ( Bakunin in a letter). According to Zlatko "we as an organization we have to give very good account of what kind of people we need." Although in different contexts, Bakunin attaches great importance to personal qualities. In this situation, according to Konstantinov, it should be understood as "striving to achieve the necessary qualities." This is important because "in a given environment and nazryalost, and one person can do the job."

A heated debate on the need and nature of a program text is highlighted several points:

Zlatko "The role of the program is to understand".

Konstantinov: "The purpose of the debate to meet better the problem (program) and see it from different angles. And on that basis now that we proceed to formulate our program and statutes, keep in mind all previous experience with all the discussions, news, etc.. "

Konstantinov: "The wording of the revolutionary organized anarchism once was."

Ivo: "This does not mean it can not be extended and expanded, and adjusted if necessary."

Konstantinov: "You should know it to be able to expand, adjust, modify or amend."

Ivo: "Because one of the main things that once attracted me to anarchism is just that no one program frozen in precise cases and say this and that but if it does not work in practice would change ..."

Konstantinov: "Sure, but must in all circumstances, I think, to have and the statutes and program. They may have 10 or 50 years may be about five years but must have them to know what a foothold as an organization and on what basis we accept members on what basis do we plan to work, short or longer. In the world I know and so far as I know, no organization in anarhokomunisticheskata anarhokomunizam different types or different types of programs and statutes. If we do conceptual organization as I think should be done with the program and statutes, it must be people who take this program and this Statute. People who have one program with one common goal, a common strategy, a common tactic adopted common methods and means of struggle and with it adopted the general conditions which must meet the organization's members, who serve terms and conditions as criteria for admission of new members or removal of those who either have not assessed their abilities, strengths and desires, or provocateurs. "

Zlatko: "What was my goal today is to put a general question at all whether there is a need for such a program and why it needs it and whether it makes sense."

Konstantinov: "In conclusion, from what we discussed before, there are people who believe that an organization can function without such basic documents? Are there people who feel no need to program and statutes? "

Maple: "I get the program as an expression of consent, not ideological purity and absolute. The program shows that there is a group of people who have agreed among themselves. "

Zlatko: "My thesis is that without such consent, an organization can not function at all. Not bad to work - it will not be any organization. What does "we" organization, we do not know why we are gathered here? "

Konstantinov: "You can say that the aim pursued, actually represents the revolution. The transformation of today's society is essentially anarhokomunistichesko revolution. And the other - with arms or without arms - then we also say what we think, based on practice. That those who have created this society and support it by all means, will not give up any of their capital, nor by power, nor the privileges and therefore most likely the revolution will not be peaceful and quiet. These things have to say to me in one program. This does not mean that today we will start fighting them. Today, society is not ready to make the revolution. Our task is to prepare for it. With propaganda, with agitation, with shares of the different nature. "

Finally, the moderator of the meeting interesting Zlatko noted that "the idea is to continue with such meetings in future. I think the number one priority right now is just making up the program, hence the minimum program and strategy "," without this mean we should ignore other problems "(Konstantinov).
