 Institute for Anarchist Studies - What's Wrong With Postanarchism?
To begin with, he rather curiously locates Stirnerite individualism within the anarchist current, although it should be obvious that an approach that emphasises the individual at the expense of mutual aid is incompatible with anarchist social theory as he, and we, understand it.
The fact that anarchist thought originated in response to state and class oppression does not mean that it is defined by oppression; and it certainly does not change the fact that oppression is the main obstacle to the achievement of our goals.
Anarchists hold that all, including the rulers, are degraded by this situation; we recognise that the oppressed are often complicit; we also know that the rulers sometimes apologise and express the intention to improve matters in the future; and yet it goes on.

 Anarchist Federation   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-09)
The Anarchist Federation (AF) is a federation of anarcho-communists in Britain and Ireland.
Known for most of its two-decades-long history as the Anarchist Communist Federation, a name change was agreed upon in the late 1990s, though an advocacy of anarcho-communism remained at the center 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.

 Anarchist Communist Manifesto
They are communists, because having carefully examined the social question in all its facets they are of the opinion that only a society based on libertarian communism will be able to guarantee every one of its members the greatest well-being and freedom.
Anarchist communism, indispensable for the realization of a society without exploiters or exploited, is based on the free cooperation of individuals in order to satisfy each others economic, intellectual and moral needs, since it is only right that the organizations born from within the working class should regulate social functioning after the Revolution.
It is for this reason that anarchist-communists are not content with proclaiming the goodness of their libertarian principles, but rather they unite in groups, in federations, in national unions and in the international union, in order to better resist and bring about the single moral and material front against the powers of repression and exploitation.

 Interview with southern African anarchists | libcom.org
Apartheid has definitely had an impact on the spread of anarchist ideas in that for so long the majority of people in SA only had access to a limited "Bantu education", which has created high levels of illiteracy and the availability of anarchist material was very scarce even to those who could read.
This was opposed outright by the anarchists and other libertarians present who argued for a boycott of the election altogether (national and provincial) and were able to attract a rather large amount of support from other affiliates although the majority proposed a spoilt vote.
Thirdly, that these anarchists who directly experience repression and exploitation are themselves incredibly innovative, and have devised forms of struggle, service and organisation (without any prior knowledge) that are widely used and respected by anarchists, libertarians and syndicalists across the world, a further validation of the global movement's ethics, ideas and practices.

The most crucial issue facing the global anarchist movement today is not only how to win the battle for the leadership of ideas among the anti-capitalist movement, but how to ensure that direct action, mutual aid, collective decision-making, horizontal networks, and other principles of anarchist organising become the living practices of the social movements.
In Latin countries, "specific" anarchist organisations adhere to the lessons of the "Organisational Platform of the Libertarian Communists" (drawn up by veteran Ukrainian guerrillas in 1927): federalism, tactical and ideological unity, and collective responsibility, principles that the ZACF is also based on.

In part the anarchist communist movement of the late 1970s and early 1980s in the US and Canada was very much a twining of anarchist communism and anarcho-syndicalism.
The Committee was to be the "clear expression of syndicalist principles in the face of 'do your own thing' anarchist movement drifting away from [the] class struggle'." We, therefore, wanted to clearly establish an organization that was both structured and accountable.

 Initiative for a Northeastern Anarchist-Communist Federation (NEACF) | NEFAC   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-09)
For all too long a majority of North American anarchists have shied away from the subject of organization, and judging from the size, sustainability and effectiveness of the anarchist movements here in the States, Canada and Mexico, I would say that this is a foremost problem to overcome.
Through organized regional anarchist federations, I believe that we can work towards dispelling the stereotype of the anarchist as the hopeless dreamer, and start to be seen as a strong and desirable revolutionary force.
Federations also need to maintain a constant flow of information, communication and ideas within itself and should definitely not be allowed to become rigid or resistant to change as the needs of the membership change.
