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.

You can read a translation of the platform into English at http://struggle.ws/platform/plat_preface.html - there is also a PDF version of the pamphlet there.
