To achieve true autonomy, a genuine audience, gain active solidarity, and thus become a force capable of opposing authoritarian and dominating structures, it is necessary to radically rethink the way we organize and act. Formalist structures, secretarial positions, and all these practices that impose leadership hierarchies and therefore bureaucracy only reproduce the artificial division of “leaders / led.” They freeze initiatives, create self-centered duality, and divert us from revolutionary practice and the libertarian tradition.
From this perspective, the secretariat must be abolished. Its functions do not disappear, but are collectively distributed among sections and groups according to the needs and skills of each individual. This horizontal redistribution of tasks prevents the concentration of power, fosters autonomy, and keeps action alive and effective.
Communication and coordination must always occur horizontally, freely, and voluntarily, between groups and individuals, respecting local initiatives. Each member and each friendly or sympathetic section/group acts according to their needs and choices while remaining connected to a global network of solidarity and coordination. This method also addresses issues of dual power.
The history of anarchist movements shows that formalism stifles initiative and militant creativity. Traditional congresses, subject to pre-established voting rules, turn participation into a formality and promote disorganization. To overcome this, congresses should be transformed into network general assemblies, more flexible, open, and horizontal. Everyone can speak, share experiences, exchange concrete practices, and coordinate global actions.
Each section remains autonomous in its decisions and practices. The approach is to federate local initiatives into a living, flexible, and adaptable network. Relationships between sections whether full members or sympathetic/friendly are based on trust, cooperation, fraternity, mutual support, exchange, and consensus. Coordination relies on experience and needs, not rigid or arbitrary rules. Decisions arise from real needs and shared experiences. This system keeps action dynamic, fosters creativity, and allows global solidarity to concretely support regional struggles and strengthen the global movement.
Eliminating all formalist logic down to the last residue is essential to building a living anarchism. Creating a space where everyone contributes according to their abilities and ideas prevents the idea of duality and minimizes the risk of internal or public splits due to rigidity and political sterility.
The global network has several objectives:
• share strategies, experiences, and practices;
• coordinate common actions;
• create active solidarity that supports each section in its local struggles.
This approach protects against formalism and self-centered co-optation. Its strength lies in its flexibility, adaptability, and the shared responsibility of all its members. Each section and each comrade is an actor and guarantor of the movement’s coherence, solidarity, and vitality.
Decisions are made by consensus whenever possible. When not possible, they emerge from open discussions where everyone can express themselves and contribute to collective awareness. Each comrade can voice a direct opinion representing their section. This model makes anarchism a living practice: it connects local struggles, federates and coordinates global actions, while building a truly liberating movement.
The global network transforms the struggle, strengthens the creativity and responsibility of each comrade, and allows the construction of a world where freedom, equality, and solidarity are not mere slogans but lived realities. A flexible, strong, and supportive network is created, where initiative and responsibility drive the movement and the anarchist cause forward, while excessive, paralyzing, and parasitic formalism is combated. This is how a truly democratic and anarchist mode of operation is built, capable of serving as a global popular reference and stimulating the revolution we so urgently need.
