Anarchism in Africa
Welcome to African Anarchism! This site is intended to be a resource for anarchists and other anti-authoritarian
revolutionary socialists in Africa, and for all those interested in the liberation of this most exploited continent.
Africa has endured centuries of suffering and deprivation in a world of plenty. Capitalism has indisputably failed
to provide even a minimum standard of living to Africans. The authoritarian capitalists who called themselves "state
socialists" have also proved to offer no answers to the
problems of the continent.
In this context anarchism is not merely one solution, it is the only possible solution that can allow the African
masses to fulfill their longings for a life free from misery and exploitation. In the last few years anarchist
groups and individuals have started to emerge across the continent, although these are still small shoots, they
are a beginning and once they spread anarchism should prove to be a very powerful force in Africa. The African
masses have little to lose, once they throw off their mental chains, global capitalism will shudder under their
mighty revolutionary force.
Unfortunately, it is very difficult for African workers to communicate to the outside world, since access to
technology in Africa is extremely limited, so very often, the information contained in these pages provides more
questions than answers. We are always looking for more information about anarchism in Africa, so if you can add
anything to what we have here; news about movements, libertarian analysis or other interesting matter, please
