[Anarchist 01] • Social Anarchism and Organisation

English translation of Anarquismo Social e Organização, by the

Anarchist Federation of Rio de Janeiro (Federação Anarquista do

Rio de Janeiro – FARJ), Brazil, approved at the 1st FARJ Congress,

held on 30th and 31st of August 2008.

The first Congress of the FARJ was held with the principal objective of

deepening our reflections on the question of organisation and formalising

them into a programme. This debate has been happening within our

organisation since 2003. We have produced theoretical materials, established

our thinking, learned from the successes and mistakes of our political practice

it was becoming increasingly necessary to further the debate and to formalise

it, spreading this knowledge both internally and externally. The document

“Social Anarchism and Organisation” formalises our positions after all these

reflections. More than a purely theoretical document, it reflects the

conclusions realised after five years of practical application of anarchism in

the social struggles of our people. The document is divided into 16 parts. It

has already been published in Portuguese in a book co-published between

Faísca and the FARJ.
