Anarchist Federation (Britain and Ireland)
The Anarchist Federation (AF) is a federation of anarcho-communists in Britain and Ireland. It was founded as the Anarchist Communist Federation in March 1986 by the Anarchist Communist Discussion Group, which had coalesced around two anarcho-communists who had returned from France and began selling the pamphlets of the defunct Libertarian Communist Group tendency, and members of Syndicalist Fight. The group aimed to provide an anarchist intervention into events such as the miners' strike. It changed its name to the Anarchist Federation in the late 1990s, though advocacy of anarcho-communism remains at the centre of its politics.
Key Anarchist Federation principles include a commitment to class struggle as a method of abolishing capitalism and the state, and a rejection of the strategy of vanguardism which it sees as being typified by 'revolutionary' political parties. The Federation is affiliated with the International of Anarchist Federations.
The Anarchist Federation publishes the theoretical journal Organise!, as well as a monthly newsletter, Resistance.
