World Factbook Entry

This region is dedicated to the spread of social anarchism throughout the world. Although originally an anarcho-communist region, we equally embrace mutualists, collectivists, syndicalists, anarcho-christians, pacifists, anarcha-feminists, green anarchists, primitivists, post-leftists and all other supporters of true, anti-capitalist anarchism. Together we hope to bring about nothing less than the emancipation of all living things.

History

The Anarcho Communist Alliance was originally founded by The Anarchist Federation of Workers Communes, a former member of both The Proletariat Coalition and Anarchy regions. This new region was intended as a home specifically for nations of a libertarian socialist/anarcho-communist persuassion who felt their beliefs were not being represented by any other Nation States region. Soon the region developed into a large, friendly community and broke free from its restrictive adherance anarcho-communism to embrace social anarchists of every stripe, with a particular concern for environmental issues. Although we do have several UN members and a delegate, our attitude towards the UN is now generally one of relative indiferrance.

Today we number some fifty nations from all over the Nation States world and can boast a very active regional forum and even a regional map, thanks to the enthusiasm and creativity of our members. At the time of writing we remain possibly the largest region dedicated to the principles of social anarchism.

Founding Aims and Principles

1. To obtain democratic workers' control over the means of production via communal ownership and decision-making.

2. To ensure everyone is garuanteed the essentials they require in order for them to lead their chosen lifestyle, so long as this lifestyle is not harmful to others or the environment which supports us.

3. To eradicate the money system and achieve an equitable distribution of wealth based on each person's ability and the work they are able to do.

4. To achieve direct democracy whereby everyone has the opportunity to have a say in the decisions which will affect them.


5. To achieve absolute freedom of speech, assembly, movement, press, criticism, worship etc.

6. To eradicate prejudice and discrimination on the grounds of class origin, sex, sexuality, race, ethnicity, nationality, religion, political belief, age or disability etc.

7. To defend human rights and the right of each individual to do whatever makes them happy as long as this does not prevent others from doing likewise.

8. To work towards repairing the damage done by excessive technology by limiting its use but applying it to more useful causes where appropriate. The right to scientific and artistic freedom should be respected as long as it is sustainable.

9. To avoid all violent conflict which is not in self-defence or the voluntary defence of others who would call on us for aid.

10. To promote social anarchism internationally and support the revolutionary peoples of the world!
