"Socialismo Libertário", No. 2
Contents:
EditorialThis second issue of "Socialismo Libertário" magazine focuses on the theme of theory and ideology, which has for years been discussed in our current and which has recently been receiving great attention among the Brazilian Anarchist Coordination (CAB) organizations.It is not, as might possibly seem the case, a matter of a purely abstract intellectual effort: this debate, despite dealing with some quite complex epistemological and theoretical-conceptual issues has, for us, very important practical implications. Through what we are now discussing, as the first text points out, we are seeking to forge the basis for answers to a range of basic questions. "What is anarchism ? What characterizes it as such historically? What is our link to the classical anarchists? Is anarchism a tool for theorizing about society, a polical practice whose objective is to transform it, or both? Should we use authors from outside anarchism in order to understand the society we live in? To what extent does our way of theorizing on society affect our ideology and vice versa? Does scientific socialism exist? In short, it is an old, complex debate, which greatly extrapolates the field of anarchism and aims to provide answers to our attempts to understand the society we live in and the best strategies to intervene in it, based on our principles and our general strategy, with a view to establishing a revolutionary process of transformation towards libertarian socialism." The texts presented here are part of a more general process - which has been gathering ground more effectively since mid-2012, with the founding of the CAB - of establishing common ground and deepening our positions concerning the path we want to tread in the coming years, towards a nationwide organization. 2013 was an important one for struggles on a national scale, in which all our organizations were engaged. With the increase in mobilizations, anarchism also gained some prominence and, in one way or another, the CAB has reaped some good results from this process. We hope this edition of the magazine can contribute to this strengthening of especifista anarchism in the scenario of the struggles that are being waged in various places within society.

Some information about the various organizations in the Brazilian Anarchist Coordination. [Português] In the days of June, in Rio de Janeiro, organised anarchism in Brazil will experience its greatest contemporary historical event. The Anarchist Congress, that will bring together groups from about 10 states across the country in debates, agreements and resolutions to act with common principles and tactics on the Brazilian reality, has a very special significance. Our conviction, in a more than 10 year process, says that militant anarchism holds indispensable contributions to the struggles for anti-capitalist social change. The meeting of militant forces that embody the same concept of work in co-ordination is a fundamental step in the journey of building political organisation that doesn’t just start now. [Português] A further step forward in the advancement of Especifista Anarchism in northeastern Brazil has been made. Meeting in Recife, we sought to further the debate on Especifism and the structuring of political groupings in our region, with a view to strengthening and consolidating our movement. [Português] An internal education seminar for the Forum of Organized Anarchism (FAO) was held in Florianopolis (Santa Caterina state) on 17-18 March 2012. [Português] On 11 February 2012, members of the Organização Dias de Luta from Joinville met with members of the Coletivo Anarquista Bandeira Negra (CABN) from Florianópolis with the aim of bringing the two organizations together. The discussions dealt with the existing affinity regarding especifist organized anarchism, active within the social struggles, and the need for programmatic and organizational strategy involving different cities in the state of Santa Catarina.

[Português] [Français][Italiano] The present document is the first public document of Pró-CAO (Pró – Coletivo Anarquista Organizado / Pro – Organized Anarchist Collective) of Joinville, Santa Catarina, in which we will try to present our project for the construction of an organized anarchist policy with an ideologically revolutionary program. more >>

Ten years of the Forum of Organised Anarchism (Fórum do Anarquismo Organizado – FAO) were commemorated with the foundation of the Brazilian Anarchist Coordination (Coordenação Anarquista Brasileira – CAB), uniting organisations from nine states around especifista anarchism as well as others that are progressively approaching and deepening organisational ties with us. In this text, we present a first contribution, with a few elements for a historical reconstitution of our current, that is, anarchism of the especifista matrix, in Brazil. We hope that other contributions can help boost it or, possibly, correct the information presented here.
"Towards a Libertarian Theory of Power" is a series of elaborated reviews about books or articles by authors from the libertarian camp who discuss power. Its objective is to present a contemporary literature of authors who treat the theme in question and contribute elements for the elaboration of a libertarian theory of power, that could contribute to the elaboration of a method of analysis of reality and of strategies of libertarian basis, to be utilised by individuals and organisations.

The specific anarchist organisation uses, both for its internal and external functioning, the logic of what we call "concentric circles" - strongly inspired by the Bakuninist organisational model. The main reason that we adopt this logic of functioning is because, for us, the anarchist organisation needs to preserve different instances of action. These different instances should strengthen its work while at the same time allowing it to bring together prepared militants with a high level of commitment and approximating people sympathetic to the theory or practice of the organisation - who could be more or less prepared and more or less committed. In short, the concentric circles seek to resolve an important paradox: the anarchist organisation needs to be closed enough to have prepared, committed and politically aligned militants, and open enough to draw in new militants.

This is an English translation of the text produced by Jaime Cubero in São Paulo, Brazil. It deals with the concept of individual and collective responsibility within the specific anarchist organisation. more >>
