friends of the northwest anarchist federation

About Me

NAF formed over a year ago to build a solid anarcho-communist presence within the Northwest social movements. We have it out for landlords, bosses, politicians. We are a rather varied group of folks and didn't really arise from the 'anarchist scene'. We take our organizing and socialising very seriously and have a low tolerance for activist scene bullshit.Exerps from our aims and principles:Anarchist Communism is a theory of social, economic, and political organization. As such, the principles of anarchism are best demonstrated by example and practice rather than illusory rhetoric.We want housing, food, dignity at work, access to education, freedom, and a voice in how our lives are run. We want democracy, equality, justice, and peace. These are natural rights that belong to all people. The complete fulfillment of these basic rights can only be achieved through revolution. We will fight for these rights until we win. We are denied these rights because the system we live within is built on structural inequality. Our aim is abolish that system and replace it with libertarian communism.WWW.NAFEDERATION.ORG

My Interests

I'd like to meet:

Class conscious people and revolutionaries in North America (and beyond). Anarchist's disallusioned with the perpetual disorganization of the 'scene'. Militants with a level head and don't flake when it comes to hard organizing. Authoritarians who are lookin' for a fight. Leftists who aren't anarchists because they think we are all lifestylist and unaccountable. Militants within the social movements and folks who are generally disgruntled over the authoritarian, bueracratic, and ineffectiveness of the union movement and want to have these movements become class-concious and revolutionary so that we might all live a free life.
