Insurrectionary anarchism

Common card · No. 357049

Insurrectionary anarchism is a revolutionary theory and tendency within the anarchist movement that emphasizes the importance of insurrection as a revolutionary practice. It is critical of formal organizations, such as labor unions and federations that are based on a political program and periodic congresses; instead, insurrectionary anarchists advocate for informal and small affinity group-based organization. Insurrectionary anarchists put value in attack, permanent class conflict and a refusal to negotiate or compromise with 'class enemies'. Associated closely with the Italian anarchist movement, the theory of insurrectionary anarchism has historically been linked with a number of high-profile assassinations, as well as the bombing campaigns of the Galleanisti and Informal Anarchist Federation (FAI).
