ائتلاف‌های شورشی: وسایل و اهداف آنارشیسم‌های معاصر بریتانیا

Concentrating on the class-struggle tradition within anarchism, as represented by current national federations in Britain, Benjamin Franks identifies the main principles that distinguish these movements from competing Leninist, liberal, and social democratic groupings. From these key characteristics, Franks then constructs an “ideal type” of anarchism—a distinctive anarchist ethic—against which he assesses the theory and practice of contemporary political groups. With this lens, the entire anarchist movement is judged, making comparisons between differing schools of thought and parallel theoretical frameworks such as Autonomist Marxism and the Situationist International.

It identifies the main principles distinguishing this tradition from competing Leninist, liberal, and social-democratic groupings. From these key characteristics, Franks constructs a consistent anarchism, which both shares characteristics with politically-engaged post-structuralisms and has a distinctive ethic. The theory and practice of contemporary groups are then assessed against this "ideal-type" of anarchism. Many of the central themes of anarchism are consequently subject to original scrutiny: the nature of the revolutionary subject; workplace and community organizing; violence and pacifism; the meaning of direct action; and propaganda by the word and deed.
