Anarchism and the Platformist Tradition
So what's all the hype with 'platformism' anyway? For those who don't know, "platformism" is a tendency within the wider anarchist movement of groups and organisations who share a basic agreement in terms of theoretical and tactical unity, collective responsibility, and federalism. In historical terms the platformist tradition starts with the Organisational Platform of the General Union of Anarchists (Draft) (1927) (also known as The Organisational Platform of Libertarian Communists), and includes the 'Friends of Durruti' grouping of CNT members during The Spanish Revolution who wrote Towards A Fresh Revolution. In the post war period many include documents like the Georges Fontenis' pamphlet Manifesto of Libertarian Communism. Different platformists would have different amount of agreement and disagreement with each of these documents - some for instance have strong reservations about including the manifesto at all. Some would also argue that some of Bakunins writings on revolutionary organisation can also be included. Today there are Anarchist groups connected with the Platform in many countries, and platformist influence continues to grow and develop around the world.
