Anarchist Federation - British and Anglophone section of IAF/AI etc.

Great Britain, Ireland, USA, Canada, Australia, New Zealand, Mauritius and the rest of the Commonwealth of Nations, a.s.o. For Mauritius see NAWU- Click here! .

For Real, i.e. including green Democracy = Anarchy & Anarchism - and more of it!

This is the official website of the Anarchist Federation.* International Journal of Anarchism, IJ@, is our main organ, click on www.anarchy.no or the rollerbanner below. The most interesting domestic British anarchist paper, seen historically, is "Freedom" published by "Freedom Press". Today "Freedom Online" published by AF keeps up the tradition. The logo above shows the traditional anarchist greeting and the fire of love for freedom, equality, solidarity and other anarchist principles, placed on a shield - a symbol of protection.

Following the example of the French Anarchist Federation, FAF, expanding to include Francophones, AF has unanimously decided to include the Anglophone countries world wide. As some of these countries are in the North, the AF also has joined the Northern Anarchist Confederation, NAC, as an associated member. AF is an anarchist confederation with several land sections/federations, one for each anglophone country, as declared in the IAF-IFA-AI principles. The AF is organised as a loose network of anglophone networkmembers/subscribers, groups and individuals, to IJ@/AI. The AF often has joint actions, mainly direct actions, based on all the anglophone countries.

Anglophones! Contact AF and join the AF-network today! Be a networkmember/subscriber to the IJ@/AI/IFA! Feel free to forward this information to your own network, and/or link up the Website of AF at your blog or homepage. Join in the struggle for and towards anarchy and anarchism, i.e. for socialism and autonomy; against economical plutarchy - that is capitalism; and against statism -- in the anglophone countries 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... AF always works and demonstrates with dignity, uses real matter of fact arguments and adds weight behind via direct actions, mass actions, and via elections. More information is available via "contact AF" below.

BLACK STAR TO NOAM CHOMSKY
Noam Chomsky identifies as an anarcho-syndicalist and libertarian socialist, viewing anarchism as a challenge to unjustified authority and emphasizing grassroots democracy and worker control. The website anarchy.no hosts texts and links relevant to anarchism, including works related to Chomsky's ideas and also has contributions from Noam Chomsky himself, i.e. he has participated actively in the ANARCHY DEBATE, see: https://www.anarchy.no/andebate.html.

Noam Chomsky was nominated to the BLACK STAR Prize by cand. oecon. polit. libertar. Anna Quist which also has proposed him for the Nobel Peace Prize. The BLACK STAR was published 28.10.2025.

The Anarchist Federation congratulates Noam Chomsky on his Black Star award.

BROWN CARD TO ENGLISH WIKIPEDIA WHICH BOYCOTTS THE ANARCHIST INTERNATIONAL AI/IFA AND ALL ITS SECTIONS

English Wikipedia has a 100% boycott of The Anarchist International AI/IFA and all its sections. Our Website www.anarchy.no with links is totally banned from English Wikipedia because their Website is controlled by authoritarian Marxists and other authoritarians. When someone posts www.anarchy.no stuff to English Wikipedia these authoritaran Marxists or other authoritarian bosses remove the stuff at once. This ochlarchy (ochlarchy means mob rule broadly defined including harassment, lawlessness, chaos and terrorism) against the Anarchist International clearly deserves a Brown Card, according to the Oslo Convention, and thus the IAT hands out a Brown Card to English Wikepedia.

The Norwegian Wikipedia has no such boycott, and publishes anarchy.no stuff. The article about ANORG is however not quite factual and a bit outdated. And it can't be edited anymore. A more interesting discussion on the Norwegian Wikipedia site is the following: ANORG DISCUSSED. But this is also a bit outdated, especially on external links to AI/IFA. We can present more than 800 external links to the Anarchist International and its associates. In short the facts are the following:

In 1986, at the fourth IFA-congresses in the north, and in the south where NAC, The Northern Anarchist Confederation's four federations participated by phone, the southern IFA-federations, the French, Spanish and Italian turned leftwards at the economical political map due to leftist-marxist tendencies. They thus left the anarchist quadrant on the economical-political map. The three southern IFA-federationas turned out to be "the children of Marx". (The Bulgarian Anarchist Union, UAB, was not a federation, but an authoritarian group, and thus not recognized by the International Anarchist Tribunal as a member of IAF-IFA.) This leftist-authoritarian position of the southern IFA federations made it necessary to reorganize the IFA to save it from the marxist- leftist positions. Thus, the majority of the IFA federations, the four northern, decided to reorganize the IFA, and started the Anarchist biennials, a series of international anarchist congresses, the first one in 1990.

The three southern IFA-federations and their secretariate were suspended by the majority of the federations, the four Northern, and the International Anarchist Tribunal, see http://www.anarchy.no/aptm.html , and the resolutions of their later congresses were disallowed, included the one in 1990. The suspension and the disallowance of their congresses will remain until the marxist-authoritarian tendency of the southern IFA-federations is removed. So far this has not happened. Thus the resolutions from their congresses from the fifth in 1990 and later are disallowed, due to significant marxist authoritarian tendencies. ANORG is now not only a Northern confederation, but global = AI/IFA. See (Click on): Links. The Website of the southern IFA-federations is (Click on): Southern IFA. The Anarchist International AI/IFA, a wider global network than the IFA-federations, was established in 1988, and officially recognized at the AI/IFA congress, the 5. Anarchist Biennial, in 1998.

The English Wikipedia should however follow the Norwegian Wikipedia's example and publish www.anarchy.no stuff. This harassment against anarchy.no by English Wikipedia must be stopped. Furthermor English Wikipedia mixes up anarchy and anarchism with ochlarchy. And this is not the first time Wikipedia has got a Brown Card: See the resolution TERRORIST OCHLARCHISTS - NOT ANARCHISTS - IN THE PAST AND TODAY below. A Brown Card indicates a totalitarian Orwellian "1984" tendency of the convict(s). A Brown Card means ultra-authoritarian, totalitarian & extremist i.e. ochlarch(s)! Ochlarchy is mob rule broadly defined, chaos included... 26.10.2025.

TERRORIST OCHLARCHISTS - NOT ANARCHISTS -
IN THE PAST AND TODAY

Post-mortem Sergei Nechaev a.k.a. Sergey Nechayev, François Claudius Koenigstein, known as Ravachol, the criminal Bonnot mob, Émile Henry, Leon Frank Czolgosz and other terrorists falsely posing as 'anarchists' (i.e. provocateurs), in the past have got the Brown Card, and have thus got their expulsion from the anarchist movement post mortem. These terrorist ochlarchists falsely posing as anarchists have really never been a part of the anarchist movement, but been ochlarchist infiltrators to the movement.

It is an historical mistake to include these persons in the anarchist movement, as they were ochlarchist infiltrators - not really anarchists. They were ordinary criminals, ochlarchist terrorists posing as "anarchists", and acting according to the authoritarian travesty of 'anarchy', but not anarchism. This however happened long time ago, in a time with heavy repression against the anarchist international, with a lot of infiltration by a) police provokers, who did a lot to discredit the anarchist movement, and b) a red&brown Leninistoid group called Blanquists, etc. The Blanquists etc. were RAF (Baader Meinhof, Maoist Marxist-Leninists) type of groups at that time, and they also managed to use a few naive persons as "useful" idiots. This is understandable, but not defendable. Terrorism is not a part of real anarchism. 'Propaganda of the deed' is specific political action meant to be exemplary to others, and has as such nothing to do with terrorism.

Both Proudhon, Bakunin, Kropotkin and Malatesta condemned the terrorism. Proudhon denounced terrorism i.e. the Blanquists, Bakunin denounced Nechaev, see IJA 4 (31), Kropotkin wrote: "a structure based on centuries of history cannot be destroyed with a few kilos of explosives." Malatesta wrote: "He who throws a bomb and kills a pedestrian, declares that as a victim of society he has rebelled against society. But could not the poor victim object: 'Am I society?' ", etc. As far as IAT knows neither Proudhon, Bakunin, Kropotkin nor Malatesta urged terrorism or participated in terrorism themselves.

The terrorist ochlarchists, ultra-authoritarian infiltrators to the Anarchist Movement, i.e. provocateurs, mainly leftist, marxist, communist type of infiltrators, started with the Blanquists, Nechayevists, Ravacholists, Mostists, Henryists, the Bonnotists, Czolgosists, etc. and continue today in the Libcomists, the Risupists, Antifa/AFA, 'Anarquismo', 'A-Infos', Blitz, Black Bloc and similar, mainly controlled by Trotskyites and other communists, say, marxist-leninists (ml). Their propaganda is easy to spot, they are "engaged in struggles against capitalism and other forms of oppression" (Risup.net), but not 1. against THE STATE (vertical organization broadly defined, including ochlarchy), and they are not 2. for horizontal organization (liberal social-democracy = real democracy = libertaire = anarchist), as 3. the Anarchists are 100%. They all, the provocateurs & ochlarchist terrorists, have got BROWN CARDS by IAT-APT and are thus expulsed from the Anarchist Movement. ALL OF THEM!

De facto: ochlarchy (mob rule including terrorism) and anarchy & ochlarchists (including terrorists) and anarchists are opposites as peace and war. To say de facto ochlarchy is anarchy and ochlarchists (including terrorists) are anarchists are lies equal to peace is war (remember Big Brother's Ministry of Truth in Orwell's "1984"). This is proven as a practically certain truth beyond reasonable doubt in the 3 resolutions in the Preamble to IAT-APT International Branch. The proof speaks for itself, but more than 50 000 anarchists confirming the validity of the proof in 2010 add weight behind.

That terrorists sailing under false anarchist flag wrongly have been labeled as anarchists historically, mainly in authoritarian Orwellian Big Brother newspeak lying historical works, shall of course not set precedence for now and in the future. Faults of the past should never be repeated. And history books and similar should be corrected so the newspeak lies are removed. And similar faults of today in the newsmedia broadly defined should of course also be corrected. To promote such a policy the IAT-APT hands out Brown Cards to persons and organizations breaking the Oslo Convention in this connection.

NRK-Dagsrevyen 22.05.2004 is wrongly mixing up a terrorist ochlarchist in Spain in the past with an anarchist, and thus gets a Brown Card. 01.06.2012 Lars Gule in the Breivik case falsely calls Émile Henry 'anarchist' and gets a Brown Card.

Frank Aarebrot at NRK 2 28.10.2016 is mixing up a terrorist ochlarchist in USA (probably Czolgos) with an anarchist, and thus gets a Brown Card. Wikipedia is also falsely calling Czolgosz an anarchist and gets a Brown Card.

IAT-APT hands out Brown Cards to Klassekampen (25.02.2017), Øyvind Strømmen and Nikolai Sitter, for falsely putting blame for terrorism on Bakunin, based on Sitter's book "Terrorismens historie - Attentat og terrorbekjempelse fra Bakunin til IS".

14.06.2017 at ABC-Nyheter, Nick Sitter, a.k.a. Nikolai Sitter, continues his crusade against anarchism, falsely calling the ochlarchist terrorism in the past "anarkistisk terrorisme" - anarchist terrorism. He is thus breaking the Oslo Convention and IAT-APT hands out Brown Cards to Nick Sitter and ABC-Nyheter, as well as Klassekampen and BI Business Review, where Sitter's article was earlier published.

07.09.2018 professor in political science Bernt Hagtvedt in a lecture about fascism at NRK 2 is mixing up terrorist ochlarchists with anarchists in the past, declaring "Anarkister skjøt villig vekk...", and thus gets a Brown Card. NRK 2 also gets a Brown Card.

09.10.2025. In the article: «What is Antifa and why is President Trump targeting it?», see: https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/ced5gqn0p6jo, BBC presents the following lie: "Antifa cells tend to form organically, both online and offline, and its activists include anarchists, communists and hardline socialists who broadly share anti-government, anti-capitalist, pro-LGBTQ and pro-immigration views. But Antifa is sometimes used as a catch-all term by conservative politicians and commentators to include other liberal and left-wing groups that they politically object to."This is a clear violation of the Oslo Convention and the International Anarchist Tribunal hands out a Brown Card to BBC for lying about that there are anarchists in the state communist led ANTIFA/AFA. There are no anarchists in ANTIFA/AFA only provocateurs & ochlarchists falsely posing as “anarchists”. We condemn ANTIFA/AFA. Antifa is a gift to the far right and state repression.

PS. Noam Chomsky: Antifa is a gift to the far right and US state repression. Exclusive: Renowned academic says antifascist movement [Antifa] has initiated the use of force in ways that are ‘completely unacceptable’.
Source: The Independent. 13.12.2017.

PPS. Donald Trump needs to stop lying about ANTIFA/AFA being anarchists and creating anarchy. ANTIFA/AFA is led by state communists and is creating ochlarchy including chaos.
Ochlarchy is the opposite of anarchy, i.e. real democracy!!! This is the truth!!! See also BROWN CARDS to Donald Trump below [in https://www.anarchy.no/apt.html] 11.10.2024

BROWN CARDS TO JAMAL HANNAH, PETER BACH, ROBERT WOGATZE, PER BYLUND, ZAZABAN, MILOS RANCIC A.K.A. MILLOSH AND THE SOUTHERN IFA-IAF FEDERATIONS

THE BROWN CARDS MEAN JAMAL HANNAH, PETER BACH, ROBERT WOGATZE, PER BYLUND, ZAZABAN AND MILOS RANCIC A.K.A. MILLOSH ARE EXPULSED FROM THE ANARCHIST MOVEMENT AND THAT THE SOUTHERN IFA-IAF FEDERATIONS ARE SUSPENDED*)

According to the Oslo Convention, a Brown Card in general means expulsion from the anarchist movemement. This is in this case valid for Jamal Hannah, Peter Bach and Robert Wogatze, plus Zazaban, Per Bylund and Milos Rancic a.k.a. Millosh. However we see hope for the Southern IFA-IAF federations*) in the long run, so as a special case they are not expulsed, but suspended, i.e. a disallowance and rejection of their congresses will remain as long as the marxist leftist/collectivist/communist and ochlarchical tendency is dominant.

*) These Brown Cards are handed out to all the Southern IFA/IAF-federations except the Spanish FAI and the Argentinian FLA, that are considered less authoritarian. Also the British and Anglophone Anarchist Federation http://www.anarchy.no/afb.html, that is only partly a Southern IFA/IAF federation, has not got a Brown Card.

*) Due to problems with marxian infiltration from council communists, trotskyites, etc. in earlier AF (British section of IAF) we have reorganised according to the principles of IAF/IFA and the other anarchist principles of the Anarchist International of today. Thus AF must not be mixed up with the mainly marxian so called CAF (Communist "Anarchist" Federation)/ACF ("Anarchist" Communist Federation), also known as the "AF of Ireland" and "British AF" rooted back to ACF/CAF, i.e. ochlarchists (ochlarchy = mob rule, must not be mixed up with anarchy and anarchists) falsely posing as anarchist at the American mainly marxian server "flag.blackened.net", hosting a lot of council commie, trotskyite and marxist lubbeist provokers, ochlarcist infiltrators, posing as anarchists, that for a while ruled the AF-organisation.

This false, i.e. de facto marxian and communist, and in reality not anarchist, organization, has later got a Website at http://www.afed.org.uk/. NB! They, i.e. "afed.org", are 1. communists, e.g. from the trotskyite, council communist and marxist lubbeist tendencies, authoritarian marxist provocateurs that falsely pose as "anarchists" when acting ochlarchist, including chaotic and criminal, to 2. falsely put the blame on anarchists and discredit the anarchist movement as much as possible to promote marxism and communism.

NB! Also other ochlarkish and marxian communist groups use the name Anarchist Federation and have Websites. They are all fake "anarchists" promoting ochlarchy including chaos, i.e. marxian and authoritarian communists etc. This also includes so called Platformists and ultra-authoritarian so called Black Blocs. Also so called "anarcho"-capitalists, i.e. an authoritarian oxymoron, sometimes use the name "Anarchist Federation". They are all authoritarian groups that have nothing to do with real anarchism. They are frequently organized by madmen and provocateurs, also police provocateurs, connected to the authoritarian travesty of "anarchy" = ochlarchy including lawlessness and chaos. Many have got expulsing Brown Cards from The International Anarchist Tribunal, and are thus expulsed fom the anarchist movement. We strongly condemn and denounce alle these groups.

Back to the "anarcho"-marxists...This marxian bunch of ochlarchists call themselves anarchist communists, i.e. communism, while we, the real AF a.o.t. is communist/commune anarchist, i.e. anarchism. These two marxist sections, the Irish and British, are also joined together in one communist federation, i.e. not a confederation with national federations as AF, and this is against the IFA-IAF principles that state "one federation in each country". We, the real AF and anglophone libertarians, continue as a free, anarchist organisation without marxian and ochlarchical tendencies, and affiliated to IAF/AI since 1988. The British and Anglophone Anarchist Federation is much larger than the communist "anarchist" federation. AF British and Anglophone has about 600 members only in Mauritius, and a lot of other networkmembers/subscribers, groups and individuals, in anglophone countries world wide. Several thousands of anarchists are associated to the anglophone AF-network, while "afed.org" has most likely around a hundred associates, however sometimes very active as marxian provocateurs. "Afed.org" is not a member of IFA, but excluded by IAT via a Brown Card, for significant marxist ochlarchical tendencies.

The Anarchist Federation affiliated to AI/IFA is rooted back to the British Anarchist Federation that was reorganised in the early 1960s. At that time this was a broad based federation including both anarchists and semilibertarian marxists and liberals, so it hardly deserved the name anarchist. Mainly some of the semilibertarian marxists, sometimes wrongly called "anarcho-marxists" - an oxymoron, related to this federation, among them Stuart Christie and Albert Meltzer, proposed to do political prisoner support at one of the yearly meetings of the British Anarchist Federation, and soon after a preliminary "Black Cross" appeared, however not called anarchist. Later this organization became the Anarchist Black Cross, and supported by IAF/AI. The Anarchist Federation, British and Anglophone, works closely connected to the Anarchist Black Cross.

The organ of AF, Freedom, now Freedom Online, the British anarchist paper, in October 1994 published the IFA resolution the Oslo Convention of 1990 against mob rule etc. related to an ochlarchical meeting in October 1994 arranged by authoritarian chaos-punks, marxians and mad fogarchs posing as "anarchists", called "Anarchy in the UK", with magical "Levitation of parliament" as the main "direct action". Vernon Richards et.al. of Freedom and Freedom Press denounced this meeting, together with the IAF/IFA.

PS. NB! The term "Anarcho-communists" has two different interpretations, namely 1. Communist Anarchism, recognized by IFA/AI & IAT as a valid anarchist trend, and 2. So called "libertarian" Communism, i.e. a form of leftist Marxian Communism, see Economic-political Map, and thus not Anarchism, and which is not recognized by AI/IFA and IAT as an anarchist trend.
