Friday August 12, 2005 12:40 by Joe - WSM 1st of May
A discussion with a member of the Italian FdCA Nestor McNab of the (Italian) Federation of Anarchist Communits (FdCA) is in Dublin completing a new translation of the ‘Organisation Platform of the Libertarian Communists’. He is also the maintainer of the online Nestor Makhno archive. We’ve asked him to give an introduction on the relevance of the platform for the anarchist movement today to kick off a discussion on this topic. Come along and give your opinions of this controversal contribution to theories of anarchist organisation. |

Jump To Comment: 1 2 3 4For those who aren't familar with it the debate between Makhno and Malatesta on the Platform is useful background reading. Unfortuantely Makhnos last reply is not yet in English. [When reading it remember that Malatesta was physically isolated at the time as he was under arrest in fascist Italy).

can anyone tell us about what anarchist work was going on in ireland in the 1920's
editor of resurgence magazine, Satish Kumar, in his autobiography tells of his time spent with Vinoba, he puts the figure of land given freely to the poor at 4 million acres
~
At the age of nine, Satish Kumar renounced the world and became a wandering Jain monk. Leaving the monkhood when eighteen, he joined Vinoba Bhave's campaign for land reform, working to turn Gandhi's vision into reality. He undertook an 8,000 mile pilgrimage, walking from India to America without any money, through deserts, mountains, storms and snow.

Anarchism and Non-Violence:
http://www.practicalanarchy.org/fnb_crass.html
After Gandhi was assassinated, the person who was known as "Gandhi's spiritual heir", Vinoba Bhave led several major campaigns to reclaim land for the poor. In 1951 Bhave and the many workers from Sarva Seva Sangh (Society for the Service of All), started the Bhoodon (land gift) movement. Many felt that Bhave was a saint in the Hindu tradition, and so when he began walking across the country asking for acres of land from landowners, he received land gifts, which were then given to the poor. One and one third million acres, according to Shepard, were actual reclaimed by the poor (far more than had been managed by the land reform programs of India's government). Bhave was involved with other projects and campaigns to bring about the "non-violent revolution". Bhave was an anarchist

another non violent revolutionary is patch adams, the clown doctor who created a free hospital in the states in reaction to the, as he sees it, misdirected medical profession
“We cannot separate the health of the individual from the health of the family, the community, and the world.”

Wave of Occupations:
Io 1921 and 1922 similar Soviet occupations occurred at mills and creameries in at least 15 other locations, at Cork Harbour, North Cork railways, the quarry and the fishing boats at Castleconnell, a coach builders in Tipperary as well as the local gas works, a clothing factory in Dublin's Rathmines, sawmills in Killarney and Ballinacourtie, the Drogheda Iron Foundry, Waterford Gas, mines at Arigna and Ballingarry. Undoubtedly there were others.
an Ireland free not only of the British army but also free of native bosses
The missing factor was a revolutionary anarchist organisation that could have built links between the different groups of workers who were in struggle, put forward the ideas of anarchism and developed a strategy for linking the anti-imperialist and class struggles to bring about a truly free Ireland run by the working class through their own democratic councils
