Libertaire: who are we? (fr, it, pt) [machine translation]
Alternative Libertaire (AL) is a French libertarian communist organization founded in
1991. ---- G is in the continuity of anarchist-communism and anti-authoritarian workers'
movement as it has existed since the First International. That is to say, for a policy
based on the direct action of classes and dominated social groups, in an anti-capitalist
goal, revolutionary and self-management. ---- G claims the experience of revolutionaries
who, in the political context of their times, shared this concern. Bakunin and his
supporters within the First International, the revolutionary syndicalists of the French
CGT before 1914; the Makhnovstchina and Plate Organizational Platform of Russian
anarchists in exile; the Spanish anarcho-syndicalism, the experiment in social revolution
in 1936, and particularly the action of the "Friends of Durruti" group libertarian
Communist Federation (FCL) and the Communist Manifesto Libertarian George Fontenis in
1954, the Union of Anarchist Communists Workers (UTCL), the works of Daniel Guérin and
Libertarian Communist Project 1986.
To varying degrees, despite their inevitable errors and limitations, these experiences
were important steps in the development of a modern libertarian communist movement.
Today Alternative Libertaire is developing a policy on three levels: the construction of a
front of social movements, to give political existence to the "left of the street" against
the government left, anticapitalist fronts construction to bring all those and anyone
wishing to respond to employer and government attacks on anti-capitalist foundations;
building a libertarian communist current struggles and backed by the bearer of a project
of social transformation to break with the capitalist order.
Activists and AL militants are particularly invested in the company and the struggles of
the CGT trade union or SUD (sometimes in the CNT), in the struggle against unemployment,
for the right to housing, environmentalists, and the struggles against patriarchy.
Alternative Libertaire endeavors to link these conflicts in today's society with the
perspective of a break with capitalism and the state.
