The Czechoslovak Anarchist Federation (CSAF) was founded in the
summer of 1995. It was the first anarchist organization to actively try
to organize the Czechoslovak anarchists after a spontaneous upraise in
the number of young people interested in the anarchist movement.
\hairline
Currently there are other anarchist
organizations besides CSAF that have
distinctive orientations. Thus the role of
CSAF
has
changed
since
its
establishment. As an organization of
people with differing views on various
aspects of anarchism we have become a
forum for a variety of opinions within
the anarchist movement. We also strive
to function as a mirror of possible
authoritarian
tendencies
within
anarchist organizations.
CSAF does not limit its activities on
specific social groups; instead, we try to
influence all members of society. We
aim to support newly arising anti-
authoritarian groups of activists by
sharing experiences and skills and
advising them of what we have learned.
It is also our goal to help existing
anarchist organizations with the
development of their materials and
outreach, as well as various other
activities.
\section{Activities of CSAF}
The goals of the Czechoslovak
Anarchist Federation (CSAF) are
education, enlightenment and outreach.
In striving towards these goals, CSAF
publishes anarchist magazines: “A-
Kontra” and “Zdola” (geared specially
at slovakian readers). Additionally,
CSAF produces different kinds of
propaganda—posters, leaflets, stickers
and booklets.
CSAF organizes demonstrations and
sets up information stalls about our
campaigns and other topics of interest.
Information about CSAF campaigns is
always available either in our
magazines, “A-Kontra” (\href{http://a-kontra.net}{\texttt{http://a-kontra.net}})
or “Zdola”, or on our daily updated
website \href{https://www.afed.cz}{\texttt{https://www.afed.cz}}.
Last current activities to be mentioned
are lectures and discussions about the
zapatista
uprising,
International
Women’s Day, demonstrations against
the war in Iraq, analysis and criticism of
extreme neo-liberal forms.
\section{Organizational structure of CSAF}
The
Czechoslovak
Anarchist
Federation works on a voluntary basis.
Decision making and activities come
from the CSAF members themselves.
There is no central committee or any
similar body. Each regional group
within CSAF plans its own activities.
The work of CSAF is therefore
compatible with the principles it
proclaims. The environment of CSAF
fosters each member to develop her or
his own independent views.
The political development of CSAF and
changes regarding the work of the
organization are only discussed at
meetings that include all CSAF
members. Such meetings are usually
held twice a year.
The Czech and Slovak sections of the
federation
work
independently;
however, they are united by a joint
memorandum, this manifesto and
mutual solidarity.
\section{CSAF-Slovakia}
We would like to say something about
our organization this way, to introduce
ourselves, as we are new members of
IFA-IAF.
CSAF-Slovakia arose in November
1998 as the backwash of the need for
creating an anarchist organization in
Slovakia. Because of coincidence of our
solutions with the manifesto of the
Czech part of CSAF, we found as the
most effective possibility to join already
existing CSAF, and create a new region.
Nowadays
we
are
operating
independently, joined by the manifesto
and the common principles.
About the consciousness of anarchism
in our country: we don’t know about
any roots or traditions of anarchism in
Slovakia. There were a few individuals,
influenced by anarchism, living at the
beginning of the nineteenth century,
connected to the czech anarchist
movement, and individuals influenced
by L. N. Tolstoy. There was no
anarchist organization at that time at all.
Later, after the year of 1948, all
potential applications for expression of
anarchist solutions were
repressed and eventually
disappeared in a wide anti-
regime movement. After
1989,
amplification
of
anarchist literature and arising
support of anarchist solutions,
especially among young
people, led to the creation of
the anarchist organization.
CSAF Slovakia has about 10
members and around 15 people have the
status of sympathizer. We co-operate
actively and regularly with about 50
people. This number increases every
year. We realize that our role is
primarily to acquaint people with the
meaning of anarchism, including the
criticism of political-economical-social
system, because this is absenting in the
mainstream media. After the fall of the
Berlin wall, official policy took one-
sided direction towards west countries
characterized by EU and NATO. We
are now witnesses of a giant propaganda
hitting the sphere of education.
Therefore, any interest in anarchism we
do find as a success.
At this moment, our main goal is to
spread information about NATO. We
brewed (in the co-operation with the
Street Party Collective) the third street
party. The main topics were NATO and
parliamentary democracy. The action
took place one week before the
elections). We took part in an
international campaign against NATO
during the summit in Prague.
We are also publishing the newsletter
Zdola! (From below!). For the shake of
our financial situation very irregularly,
we print out bills, pamphlets and
stickers. Our other activities are:
distribution of anarchist propaganda,
organizing
of
lectures,
video-projections, Anarchist Maydays, etc.
Two times a year we organize the
Slovak congress, where people from the
whole country meet together. We work
as part of the Czechoslovak anarchist
movement, have also good relations
with anarchist groups in Poland, Austria
and elsewhere.
The existence of an international
organization could make the activeness
of particular organizations more
effective, and should prevent an
isolation of anarchist solutions inside
the borders of one state region.
Although we think that main part of
activities has to be done on local level,
we find the existence of an international
organization as the instrument for
exchanging of experiences, or certainty
of support and solidarity in the case of
need.
For an anarchism without borders!
