  Solidarity Federation - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Solidarity Federation (SolFed) is a federation of class struggle anarchists active in Britain.
The DAM was formed in 1979, when anarchist syndicalists in Britain (including the Syndicalist Workers Federation) decided to break from the then Anarchist Federation (which is to be differentiated from the current Anarchist Federation, which grew from the Anarchist Communist Federation founded in 1986) in order to pursue a more definitely syndicalist, worker-centered strategy.
Alongside the Anarchist Federation and Class War, it is one of the more prominent explicitly anarchist organisations in the UK at the moment.

 Solidarity - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The survival of Solidarity was an unprecedented event not only in Poland, a satellite state of the USSR ruled (in practice) by a one-party Communist regime, but the whole of the Eastern bloc.
Solidarity's influence led to the intensification and spread of anti-communist ideals and movements throughout the countries of the Eastern Bloc, weakening their communist governments.
Solidarity's example was in various ways repeated by opposition groups throughout the Eastern Bloc, eventually leading to the Eastern Bloc's effectual dismantling, and contributing to the collapse of the Soviet Union, in the early 1990s.

By the end of 1982, the Solidarity movement had died down enough for Wałęsa to be released from prison and for martial law to be lifted.
During the mid-1980s, Solidarity persisted as an underground organization supported by the Catholic Church, and by the late 1980s it was again a major force in Poland.
Solidarity has since placed greater emphasis on traditional trade union matters, but the political bloc Solidarity Electoral Action, an outgrowth of the union founded in 1996, governed Poland from 1997 to 2001.
