Since its founding congress on August 31, 2024, Midada is a new
anarchist organization in the Bern region, Switzerland. This new sisterorganization joins the UCL international network this fall. ---- Midada
is inspired by the Especifismo movement[1]from Latin America and
advocating a balance between specifically anarchist organization and
social integration into the masses with a view to building popular power
there. ---- Already rich with about ten members, it is active in social
movements, notably via the Free Workers Union (Freie Arbeiter innen
Union - FAU) in German-speaking Switzerland, like our comrades from Die
Plattform in Germany. Here is its founding declaration:
"We, the founding members of Midada, are strongly influenced by the
theories of Especifismo and want to bring about a fundamental change on
this basis. We want to promote direct democracy, autonomy and the
struggles of the oppressed classes through our practice. For this, it is
necessary to organize ourselves as anarchists according to clear
ideological principles and to act within the framework of strategic and
tactical unity, collective responsibility and solidarity.
Over the past five years, we have been preparing specifically for the
creation of this organization under the name Libertäre Aktion
(Libertarian Action). During this long process, we have written a
general policy document, set up all the structures of the organization
and developed a political practice in social movements and trade unions.
Gradually, we will publish our policy document. It will include the
positions behind which the members of our organization unite. Since the
beginning of our activities, it has been important for us to work not
only theoretically but also practically, because the two are
inseparable. Pure theoretical work does not bring us closer to our
goals; and our practice without theory inevitably becomes an ineffective
strategy. We will continue to strengthen our involvement in social
movements and unions to fight for libertarian socialism.
We see a clear and formal adhesion that is associated with duties.
Long-term organization is a necessity for continued political work, to
educate ourselves, to develop theories together, to pursue realistic
strategies and achieve our goals.
Specifically anarchist organization is our means to build a
counter-power in a targeted manner and to set in motion a revolutionary
social process. This, until we have reached a libertarian and socialist
society in which all forms of exploitation and oppression have been
overcome.»
