| − | The '''Anarchist Federation''' (AF) is a federation of [[anarcho-communist]]s in [[United Kingdom|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 [[UK miners' strike (1984-1985)|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.
