Bimonthly Review - 1975-1994
What "Anarchismo" is and how it functions
In 1972 the group working in Catania around the bookshop and publishing group ‘Libreria Underground’ began the publication of a newspaper Sinistra Libertaria which was to become a periodical but which was immediately condemned by the hostility and incomprehension of certain comrades, and by the police and judicial repression.
With the intention of continuing this endeavour, the first number of Anarchismo, a bimonthly review, was published in 1975, an instrument for the clarficiation of essential theoretical problems arising from certain concrete situations. The aim of the editorial group is that of maintaining the review at a sufficiently high level of analysis, while avoiding falling into theory for the sake of theory, and of building a coherent discourse capable of bringing out the true matrix of anarchism, which is not merely a negative vacuum, but is analytical penetration for the struggle, a precise direction of thought maintained constant even when it might be disagreeable.
The work in these last two years of activity has been addressed towards a study of the problem of anarchist organisation and the critical re-examination of past structures which often turn out to be inadequate for the present time, against any authoritarian contamination these structures might assume, derived from platformist positions in turn produced from the disillusionment of a certain historical moment and not valid in absolute; a critical examination of anarcho-syndicalist formulae and a more profound study of the authoritarian inconvenience they can determine; towards workers’ autonomy, constructing beginning from the base on the foundation of self-management of the struggle and of production (when possible); for direct action in the struggle in the factories, on the land, the universities and living areas, as well as in the sense of the armed defence of these struggles.
Furthermore, we have attempted to carry out an open-minded research of the experience of others, Also Marxists, because we are sure of the validity of an anarchist libertarian methodology which rejects badly construed structures such as libertarian marxism, but do not close our eyes before the reality of concrete struggles whose patrimony must not be lost. Finally, our work seeks to revalue anarchist pluralism, the vision of life and methodology of struggle which seems to us the most valid for the realisation of the future social revolution.

“Anarchismo” editorial group
“Anarchismo” through analytical articles, documents and book reviews, carried forward in the revolutionary movement a projectual discourse orientated towards permanent conflictuality, autonomous action and attack. Small actions of attack, spread throughout the territory, represented and continue to represent today, a proposal of method for who, pushed by a situation of oppression and illbeing, decides autonomously to insurge refusing to delegate the practical realisation of this need to any authoritarian, institutional or supposedly revolutionary structure.
