     So what's all the hype with 'platformism' anyway? For those
who don't know, "platformism" is a tendency within the wider
anarchist movement of groups and organizations who share a
basic agreement in terms of theoretical and tactical unity,
collective resonsibility, and federalism.
In historical terms the platformist tradition starts with 'The
Organizational Platform of the Libertarian Communists'
(1927), and includes the 'Friends of Durruti' grouping of CNT
members during The Spanish Revolution who wrote 'Towards
A Fresh Revolution'. In the post war period many include
documents like the Georges Fontenis' pamphlet 'Manifesto of
Libertarian Communism'.

Different platformists would have different amount of
agreement and disagreement with each of these documents -
some for instance have strong reservations about including the
manifesto at all. Some would also argue that some of Bakunins
writings on revolutionary organization can also be included.

Today there are Anarchist groups connected with the Platform
in many countries, and platformist influence continues to grow
and develop around the world.

"It is time for anarchism to leave the swamp of
disorganization, to put an end to endless vacillations on the
most important tactical and theoretical questions, to resolutely
move towards a clearly recognized goal, and to operate an
organized collective practice"

- The Organizational Platform of Libertarian Communists, 1926
