THE ANARCHIST INTERNATIONAL
http://www.anarchy.no/ai.html
THE AI'S MAIN POLICY FOR 2014:
TOWARDS REAL DEMOCRACY AND MORE OF IT 2014 WORLD WIDE
ANARCHY AND ANARCHISM BRIEFLY DEFINED
Anarchy and anarchism mean "system and management without ruler(s), i.e. co-operation without repression, tyranny and slavery". In short an-arch-y = (an = without - arch = ruler(s)) - y = system and management, as, say, in monarch-y. Anarchists are for and contribute to anarchy and anarchism world wide.
One of the main tasks of anarchists is the fight against ochlarchy (mob rule broadly defined). To mix up opposites as a) anarchy and ochlarchy and b) anarchists with ochlarchists/ochlarchs, as outdated dictionaries, newsmedia and mislead youths often do, is equally authoritarian as mixing up opposites as peace and war, as Big Brother did in Orwell's "1984" newspeak. It should be stopped and anarchists make resolutions with free, libertarian criticism of this authoritarian tendency, and also contribute to other direct actions against ochlarchy, guards at demonstrations, etc.
Anarchists are not only against ochlarchy, but also monarchy, oligarchy, polyarchy, plutarchy, matriarchy, patriarchy, hierarchy, etc, i.e. in real terms, economic and/or political/administrative. Anarchists mean all forms of archies should be done away with, practically toward ideally.
Anarchy and anarchism are coordination on equal footing, without superiors and subordinates, i.e. horizontal organization and co-operation without coercion. This means practically or ideally, i.e. ordinary vs perfect horizontal organization respectively. Thus, anarchy and anarchism mean real democracy, economical and political/administrative, in private and public sector.
Briefly defined State in a broad societal meaning is systems with significantly large rank and/or income differences, etc., i.e. significantly vertically organized. Anarchies are systems with significantly small rank and income differences, plus efficiency including optimal order, i.e. significantly horizontally organized.
THE ANARCHIST INTERNATIONAL'S MAIN POLICY
The Anarchist International AI/IFA's main policy, a bit simplified, is in general to increase the libertarian degrees of countries, i.e. their economic-political systems, as much as much as possible, in the world in a dynamic perspective. Sometimes this implies a struggle to prevent a decline in the libertarian degree as much as possible, namely when other factors pull in the negative direction. AI/IFA puts some extra weight at a) the 3 anarchies of today, i.e. Norway, The Swiss Confederation and Iceland, and policy towards higher anarchy/libertarian degree in these countries, as they are only anarchies of rather low degree, b) to get more countries to be anarchies, e.g. of them relatively near anarchy today, c) and to improve the situations and hike the libertarian degrees in the most authoritarian - least libertarian countries. In all cases AI/IFA concentrates on situations with significant momentum, e.g. popular revolt and more or less revolutions, in libertarian direction. Anarchys is real democracy, documented at Real democracy defined, i.e. including human rights, see Anarchism and human rights.
Fellows! The people, seen as a class in contrast to the superiors economically and/or political administrative, i.e. in income and/or rank. The present and future are in our hands!

Feel free to forward this information to your own network, and/or link up the Websites of AI/IFA at your blog or homepage. Join in the struggle for and towards anarchy and anarchism, i.e. for more socialism and autonomy; against economical plutarchy - that is capitalism; and against statism -- locally, domestic, regionally and world wide... Of course a struggle without ochlarchy (mob rule broadly defined), the opposite of anarchist, anarchy and anarchism!!! A struggle for anarchy and anarchism as opposed to all forms of marxism (state-socialism), liberalism and fascism, including populism. A struggle for a movement of the societal, i.e. economical and political/administrative, systems -- in libertarian direction, less authoritarian degree... AI/IFA and its sections always work and demonstrate with dignity, use real matter of fact arguments and add weight behind via direct actions, mass actions, and via elections.

In addition to the general struggle for anarchy and anarchism, and more of it - world wide - on top of the agenda,1-2-3, equally important, is the fight for 1. social justice and security, 2. solution to the economic crisis & 3. solution to the global warming problem.
THE ANARCHIST INTERNATIONAL
SAYS
A CLEAR NO TO THE GROSS
GERMANIAN EU-MEGA STATE - EU SUPER-STATE - WITH UNENLIGHTENED PLUTARCHY AT ALL
REFERENDA IN 2014.
NO TO THE 'UNITED STATES OF EUROPE' FOREVER!

Things we would like to see in 2014, etc.
1. The technological development in combined genetics, nano, IT and other very dangerous fields of research that may contribute to Orwellian "1984" hell societies and worse, should be stopped. Especially advanced and dangerous genetical research should be stopped world wide, because the more research on this, a) the greater risk for a terrorist group or state to develope, say, an ebola type virus, spreading like a flue, the terrorists having the only vaccine for themselves, and b) the greater risk for development of authoritarian totalitarian terror States, much worse than Orwell's "1984".
Such technology must come under as much as possible 100% efficient social control and security, and only be used for quite harmless purposes. The opposite of advanced (and dangerous) genetical research, e.g. advanced genetical manipulation and genetic engineering, that must be strictly forbidden, is non-advanced, ordinary (harmless) genetical research, that is ok. This may be a difficult line to draw, but it has to be drawn, now and in the future. It is also a task for the anarchists to contribute in this direction...
2. The media should report more matter of fact, proportional to realities. Say if a newspaper reports about a societal problem, in a country with a Gross Domestic Product, i.e. gross real income GDP of 2000 billion US $ = 2000 000 000 000 $, and a societal problem, say theft in shops, is costing 200 million US $ = 200 000 000 $, it should also be mentioned that these 200 000 000 $ are only 200 000 000/2000 000 000 000 = 2 /20000 =0,0001 = 0,01 % = 0,1 per thousand of Gross Domestic Product, i.e. the social gross real income GDP. Not reporting matter of fact and proportional to realities create a.o.t. uncertainty among the people, exaggerating societal problems.
3. In this time of seemingly much uncertainty, people get easily stressed, and thus more suggestible, and may then easily be fooled by "newage" prophets, so called healers, etc. promising miracles, without any sound, scientifical proof that it will work. Especially persons doing so called miracles and seemingly "healing" people, and collecting money for it, are suspect. No really sound evidence of miracles and healing by "healers" exist. Seemingly miracles and real healing always have a scientifical, logical explanation. A more scientifical critical approach should be used by the newsmedia. Always contact proffesional skeptics with a scientifical approach and, say, illusionists/magicians that are experts on "Uri Gellerian" and "healers" "miracle" type swindle.
4. Also populist/fascist politicians may benefit from the uncertainty, because people then falsely may believe a "strong man" is needed. However history shows this will not work either. Say, promising the same million public money spending to group A as well as group B, a typical populist political trick, will not work in practice, and create trouble that may easily end up in a fascist dictatorship.
5. The best Christmas gift 2013 to the people of the world, and especially to the lucky, lucky Norwegian people, is the start of the 20th year of ANARCHY in this amazing country far North, with the post office of Father Christmas himself located in Drøbak. The ANARCHIST societal system in Norway, although with only about 54% degree of anarchy for the time being, brings hope as a lighthouse to repressed people of the world of today about a future with significant economical and political/administrative freedom, equality and solidarity, etc. Also the www.anarchy.no in itself is a libertarian lighthouse in a mostly Orwellian "1984" newspeaking, lying, world.
6. The best political road ahead is probably in general towards real democracy, i.e. anarchy, and more of it. Say, in Norway the degree of real democracy has increased since the revolutionary change in 1994. After the velvet revolutionary change in 1994-95, that started with the No to EU-referendum 28.11.1994 which was followed a) by the end of the marxist social-democratical matriarchy and b) establishment of social-individualist ANARCHY in Norway, - the degree of anarchy in the Norwegian society was about 53% and it is now about 54%. That is the influence from the people seen all in all on the production and distribution system is now about 54%, and the influence from the tendencies towards authority is ca 100% - ca 54% = ca 46%. 28.11.2013 marked the occasion of 19 years since the beginning of the anarchist velvet revolutionary change in Norway.
Anarchy vs ochlarchy (mob rule) and anarchists vs ochlarchists were the main points on the agenda in 2006 and 2007, the fight against ochlarchists continued in 2008, 2009, 2010, 2011, 2012 and 2013 and will continue in 2014.
The main road towards more real democracy, i.e. anarchy, goes via 1. harder fight against the authoritarian tendencies in the social-individualist anarchies Norway, Switzerland and Iceland, 2. development of social-individualist anarchism in the other of the 25 most libertarian countries in the world (see table below), and 3. struggle against the more authoritarian regimes world wide.
We would like to see a development towards real democracy, and more of it - world wide in 2014 and in the following years.

Summary:
The technological development in combined genetics, nano, IT and other very dangerous fields of research that may contribute to Orwellian "1984" hell societies and worse, should be stopped. Especially advanced and dangerous genetical research should be stopped world wide, because the more research on this, a) the greater risk for a terrorist group or state to develope, say, an ebola type virus, spreading like a flue, the terrorists having the only vaccine for themselves, and b) the greater risk for development of authoritarian totalitarian terror States, much worse than Orwell's "1984".
Such technology must come under as much as possible 100% efficient social control and security, and only be used for quite harmless purposes. The opposite of advanced (and dangerous) genetical research, e.g. advanced genetical manipulation and genetic engineering, that must be strictly forbidden, is non-advanced, ordinary (harmless) genetical research, that is ok. This may be a difficult line to draw, but it has to be drawn, now and in the future. It is also a task for the anarchists to contribute in this direction...
Furthermore anarchy vs ochlarchy (mob rule) and anarchists vs ochlarchists were the main points on the agenda in 2006 and 2007, the fight against ochlarchists continued in 2008, 2009, 2010, 2011, 2012 and 2013 and will continue in 2014.

Decentralization and autonomy...
The AIIS follows the news world wide and initiate direct actions. The IAT is on the alert, IIFOR is watching the political economy and oil price, etc. However the 'international anarchy' must of course work decentralized and autonomous to be efficient. AI/IFA/IAF and its sections continue with direct actions. Search on www.anarchy.no for possible solutions to the world's problems of today in general... "We'll be watching you..." Good luck with all direct actions in 2014!
