Libcom is a small collective of libertarian communists based in and around London, UK, who maintain the website libcom.org.
Renamed on May 1st 2005 from enrager.net, they intend their site to be a resource for all people who wish to fight to improve their lives, their communities and their working conditions.
Libcom focuses on working class organisation and education from below for the emancipation of humanity from all systems of economic and political authority. This is libertarian communism, a society where production is based on the concept "from each according to ability, to each according to need" and where humans organise themselves from the bottom up through the principles of face-to-face direct democracy, mandated delegation and federalism.
They identify with the wider historical context of class struggle, that is with those self-organised movements of workers and communities which have sprung up in various times and places, whether consciously libertarian communist or not. They are also influenced by the specific theoretical and practical traditions of anarchist-communism, social ecology/communalism, anarcho-syndicalism, the situationists, autonomist-marxism, council communism, and writers including Marx, Peter Kropotkin, Harry Cleaver, Murray Bookchin and Anton Pannekoek.
Libcom.org contains listings of libertarian groups in Britain, as well as detailed explanations of socialist thought, People's History articles, news, discussion forums and organising resources.
