On the 1st anniversary of Carlo's murder by Italian
state forces the Anarchist Federation in Scotland are
pleased to commemorate the occasion by launching our
new newsletter Ar-a-mach. This is Gaelic for
insurrection, rebellion, uprising and highlights our
commitment to our ancient language. Our website is
bilingual English/Gaelic and can be found at
alba where a link is
provided to download Ar-a-mach in PDF format.

For anarchist communism,

Welcome to the AF in Scotland

AF Alba is an organisation of class struggle anarchists aiming to abolish capitalism and
all oppression to create a free and equal society. This is Anarchist Communism.

We see today's society as being divided into two main opposing classes: the ruling class
which controls all the power and wealth, and the working class which the rulers exploit
to maintain this. By racism, sexism and other forms of oppression, as well as war and
environmental destruction the rulers weaken and divide us. Only the direct action of
working class people can defeat these attacks and ultimately overthrow capitalism.

As the capitalist system rules the whole world, its destruction must be complete and
world wide. We reject attempts to reform it, such as working through parliament and
national liberation movements, as they fail to challenge capitalism itself. Unions also
work as a part of the capitalist system, so although workers struggle within them they
will be unable to bring about capitalism's destruction unless they go beyond these
limits.

Organisation is vital if we're to beat the bosses, so we work for a united anarchist
movement and are affiliated to the International of Anarchist Federations. The
Anarchist Federation has members across Scotland, England and Ireland fighting for
the kind of world outlined above.
