FdCA Basic Strategy Document --- FOR THE LIQUIDATION OF THE STATE
Before dealing with the problem of the Transitional Period, the anarchist 
communist political organization first needs to be clear on the various 
conceptions which foresee the end of the Bourgeois State as a result of the 
political and institutional rupture provoked by a successful proletarian 
revolution, not only from the point of view of terminology, but in terms of our 
basic strategy.

We go beyond the concepts of the "abolition of the State" or the "destruction of 
the State" as they imply two aspects regarding the end of the State that are 
based on the violent action by a group of professional politicians and the 
instantaneous or rapid nature of this action.

Diametrically opposed to these two concepts can be found two others, which we 
equally reject. They are the concept of the "withering away of the State" and 
the "extinction of the State". We go beyond both these concepts as they imply, 
in the case of the first, reference to an entirely objective, mechanical process 
that would lead to the disappearance of the State and, in the case of the 
latter, to a more gradual nature for the same process.

While in the first two cases we believe there is no sense to violent action by a 
political minority against the State if there is no real proletarian 
self-organization, as far as the second two go, we believe it is impossible for 
the extinction of the State to be a spontaneous and automatic process, without 
revolutionary action carried on by the subordinate class working towards that goal.

The anarchist communist choice for our basic strategy is the conception of the 
"liquidation of the State" - the political and economic action of organization 
of proletarian autonomy which seeks to make any re-building of the State 
impossible and remove any basis for it on a social level.

The liquidation of the State is therefore the final act of a process that is 
born and develops already within, and in total contrast to, the society divided 
into classes, which marks the definitive and total break between the 
authoritarian, class system on the one hand and the new anarchist communist 
society on the other.

The liquidation of the State is, then, the destruction of the structures of 
exploitation and the apparatus of domination, and the move from a society 
divided into classes to an anarchist communist society. It makes a reality of 
the revolutionary goal of getting rid of the legal, military and administrative 
institutions which regulate class society, in order that communist methods of 
production, distribution and social regulation under the control and the 
self-government of self-managed proletarian structures in a federated and 
libertarian manner can be brought into being.
