About Me:
The AFF is a Friendster for all us anarchists out there. Become friends with the AFF and network with your comrades far and wide. Anarchism plainly understood is about freedom. At the core of anarchist theory and practice lies a historic tendency to be free of the conditions, institutions and social aberrations which thwart the progress of human development. Anarchists view the state, their corporate masters, and the myriad of oppressors which result from these institutions as not only unnecessary, but counter-productive to human freedom and aspirations. Anarchists believe that most of society's inequities, violence and conflict stem from unequal power relations between rulers and ruled. Wars, social violence, widespread racism, poverty and oppression are all primarily the results of arbitrary social relations designed to serve the interests of the rich and powerful and their authoritarian institutions. Anarchists seek to identify these hierarchies, authorities and other forms of oppression and challenge their legitimacy. If they fail to serve the interests of human freedom and aspirations they should be considered illigitimate and abolished. Anarchist struggles have always been unique, in that they call for a social revolution, instead of a political one. Political revolutions replace one master for another, while social revolutions call for the permanent abolition of all rulers. Anarchist struggles have manifested themselves throughout history in the Paris Commune, the Haymarket Affair, the powerful Cuban anarcho-syndicalist movements, the Russian revolution, the Chinese revolution, the Argentine anarchist struggles, the Brazilian anarchist labor movements and most notably the Spanish revolution of 1936 (arguably the most successful and important revolution in history). Recent revivals within the anarchist movement have expressed themselves in the massive anti-corporate globalization actions, recent anti-authoritarian anti-war efforts, and a (continued below) . .

Who I Want to Meet:
. . . growing network of global peace and justice movements expressing anarchist principles. Whereas neo-liberalism and state power promote doctrines of violence, authoritarianism, competition and greed, anarchism promotes principles of peaceful co-existence, freedom, solidarity and mutual aid. Principles of freedom and mutual aid extend back as far as human history is recorded, long before anarchism was ever known or heard of. Anarchism is the highest and most evolved expression of these principles, "the very finest thing," wrote Alexander Berkman, "that humanity has ever thought of." It continues as a permanent trend in the ongoing struggles for freedom and the fuller development of human potential. Anarchism is diverse, broad and demands social and cultural freedom in every sphere of life. Anarchist now, and have always, envision advancing a future world built on principles of freedom, direct democracy, mutual aid and equality without rulers or masters.

whether anarchists have no sense of
humor, or a sense of humor that is so
subtle and profound that it's
astounding. During La Resistance, aka
The Fakester Clone Wars, this confusion
was heightened to a new dizziness. Are
these people serious? They're fighting
for autonomous, self-managed space in a
terrain of capitalist internet dating
services? It's so unlikely, it's
brilliant. I probably don't need to
state this, but keep an eye on everyday
life, y'all. We are in a perilous
period - art alleries with less-than-
patriotic art are being shut down by
thugs in SF, Boston anarchists are
being arrested on felonies for planting
flowers in empty lots, Sacramento
Sheriffs are again being criticized for
systematic rape of transgendered people
in their jails, foreign wars, empire,
cointelpro domestic
repression is expanding, the ranks of
political prisoners grows rapidly,
you know the drill.
"What is important is not that governments have
decided to concede certain rights to the people, but
the reason why they have had to do this. To him
who fails to understand the connection here history
will always remain a book with seven seals." --
Rudolf Rocker, "The Methods of Anarcho-
Syndicalism"
"The state is not something which can be destroyed
by a revolution, but is a condition, a certain
relationship between human beings, a mode of
human behavior; we destroy it by contracting other
relationships, by behaving differently." --Gustav
Landauer, "Reinventing Anarchy, Again
days of the Fakester Resistance, or La
Resistance as those of us who have
watched the South Park movie or
listened to our Les Mis cds too many
times like to call it. The Fakesters
were victorious, and AFF, along with
many, many other equally rad Fakesters,
lives on.
And like other foundations,
AFF "rocks!"
