On today’s episode of the Solecast I speak with a member of the Black Rose Federation. Black Rose Federation has chapters across North America and utilizes an anarcho-communist tendency called “Specifismo:” which (according to wikipedia) has been summarized as:
The need for a specifically anarchist organization built around a unity of ideas and praxis.
The use of the specifically anarchist organization to theorize and develop strategic political and organizing work.
Active involvement in and building of autonomous and popular social movements via social insertion.
In this interview we discuss: Their organizing principles Their approach to building working class power from below Grass roots power vs local politics vs electoral politics The need for a rigorous educational program within movements Discussions on anarchist infrastructure projects Thoughts on "protest,” their limitations and what they are good for The life of Bakunin much more
