First Part – Introduction and the Role of the Revolutionary Organisation
With an introduction by the AF, we reproduce two important texts on libertarian organisation from the 1970’s & 80’s, The Tyranny of Structurelessness by Jo Freeman and a reply to it The Tyranny of Tyranny by Cathy Levine. The two texts were previously published together as Untying the Knot: Feminism, Anarchism and Organisation (Rebel Press, 1984) and we have kept this title. Those who may tend more towards anti-organisational currents in anarchism but also those who may unwittingly verge towards centralised structures in a desire to become more organised, will find much to think about in these two texts.
