A special feature coordinated by Arkann (UCL Amiens), Ayla (UCL Toulouse), Tommy (UCL Lyon), N. Bartosek and Zhong Hua (UCL Alsace) ---- This June 2026 marks the centenary of the publication of the text known as the Platform. It was a fundamental document in the development of a revolutionary theory adapted to the historical moment in which it was written. It was not a complete program, as its authors proposed that it be developed in greater detail once the anarchist movement had created the organization they envisioned as the General Union of Anarchists.
Although the Platform was immediately attacked by other currents of anarchism of its time, it succeeded in establishing organizational foundations that endure to this day. For example, the idea that the coexistence of anarchist currents with divergent ideological foundations and contradictory modes of action within the same organization paralyzes its capacity to intervene and prevents it from confronting the complexities imposed by reality, especially when it comes to transforming it. Consequently, strategic unity, tactical unity, and collective responsibility are necessary to build a solid organization, as is a federal structure to avoid centralizing and authoritarian tendencies.
The teachings of the Libertarian Communist Organization Platform were the starting point for an entire current within the anarchist movement, which defines itself, depending on the context, as anarcho-communist, libertarian communist, platformist, or specifist. The origins of this movement can be traced back to the International Alliance of Socialist Democracy in 1868, but the moment that most clearly marked its break with the anti-organizational tendencies of anarchism was undoubtedly the 1920s, with debates like this one, and others similar to it, taking place in other regions.
A century after it was written, our organizations wish to honor the heroic legacy of the Diélo Truda group[1].
Long live La Plateforme!
Long live libertarian communism!
