Argentine Libertarian Federation

The anarchists do not wait for a theoretical maturity of the times or for a certain evolution before acting, because they know that action is in itself what better ripens both evolution and times. From the newspaper La Pampa Libre, 1930.

FLA has member groups in Rosario, Trenque Lauquen, La Pampa, San Pedro, Chaco y Corrientes. In the federal capital (Buenos Aires) it has a local of its own where there are foundational and member groups. This is also open for other groups which might request it for talks, lectures, different activities and meetings.

There is a bookshop that makes donations of materials for libraries and different anarchist groups, as well as selling it at a low price to spread our ideas and help cover the costs of running the local.

There is a library which is open three times a week for consultations and with comrades available to help the researchers.

In the archive and in the magazines library we don’t only keep and classify the materials, but we also guide the and the researchers comrades in their work. (anarchologues) The magazine “El libertario” [The libertarian] is published every three months and is open to contributions from the comrades who want to take part in it.

We also publish books (money allowing) through the Reconstruir [Re-build] editorial. The last book such published was the "Catálogo de publicaciones españolas 1890-1939" [Catalogue of spanish publications 1890-1939]. We also take part in “Utopia Libertaria” [Libertarian Utopia], a publishing house which brings together comrades from different groups.

We also do work with the kids in our neighbourhood: after school club, help with their studies, playground and dinner-tea club.

There’s recently been a comrade in the UK, as a delegate, taking part in the activities of the British Anarchist Federation. Out of this a successful Argentina Solidarity Night resulted, as well as other speaks and lectures. From the 9th of July onwards we will hold, every Saturday, at the FLA local the First Encounter of Theatre for Freedom.

On the 23rd of July a group of comrades took part in the Homage to the Spanish Revolution in Rosario.

Also the FLA took part in the Anarchist Meeting of Rosario with about 20 to 30 comrades, which represented IFA as well.
