A-Infos (en) UK, AnarCom: Inaugural meeting of the Network of Anarchist Internationalists - NAI. November 9th, 2025 (ca, de, fr, it, pt, tr)[machine translation]

Over the last few months, various revolutionary internationalist 
anarchist organisations put their names to the following statement. 
Though itself ready for an update it was the precursor to establishing a 
new network of anarchist internationalists to achieve the following: 
---- Collective solidarity, practical on the ground and in revolutionary 
principle;  To be a hub for the exchange and presentation of information 
and propaganda; To distinguish ourselves from those oppositionist groups 
that use the name anarchism but no longer defend Revolutionary 
internationalism and, to provide a coherent reference point in the 
libertarian tradition as other international initiatives take place 
around the imperative of 'no war but the class war.'

The supporting signatories are appended below and more invites will go 
out to others who hold to revolutionary internationalist opposition to 
all wars as subsequent meetings to develop the network progress.

"The Network of Anarchist Internationalists is:  For revolutionary 
defeatism in every waring state!

Will: Support war resisters, draft dodgers, deserters, and conscientious 
objectors!

Calls for: A major libertarian internationalist initiative to counter 
militaristic propaganda!

Nuclear catastrophe approaches!  The ruling classes 'East' and 'West' 
are charlatans whose lust for power and profit is increasingly based on 
the war industry.

The self-styled West is articulating scenarios of a new world war. For 
them, the 'free world' is fighting an existential battle against 
'autocracies' increasingly identified with orientalist stereotypes 
threatening to destroy our alleged 'civilisation'.

Nations in this 'democratic' camp such as Ukraine, Israel and Taiwan, 
are lauded as fighting the same global battle of the 'good guys' against 
the 'evil'. This logic even enlists Syria's islamists on the side of the 
'good guys'.

On the other side, Russia, China and Iran, totalitarian states ruled by 
secret police, party enforcers and clerics. Each violently suppresses 
our class's struggle against austerity and the march to war.

For a libertarian internationalist initiative against the militaristic 
propaganda disseminated daily, which presents our supposedly "good" 
armed states as if they were a humanitarian enterprise!

We need to offer practical and moral support to war resisters, draft 
dodgers, deserters and groups taking internationalist positions, 
especially in the war zones.

Supporting refusal, conscience, desertion and draft evasion on all sides 
of the war fronts, for revolutionary defeatism, is fundamental. Russia 
and Ukraine themselves recognise desertion as a major obstacle to their 
death programmes.

This support within the framework of our internationalism, promotes 
initiatives to challenge nationalism and borders, territorial 
sovereignty, the nation-state or it's proto-state rivals, building new 
mechanisms of international solidarity and siblinghood.

The front lines are closer than you think, no further than the nearest 
arms or components factory, than the nearest logistics depot, transport 
hub or communications centre.

The war is where the ports and airports are, the military bases and 
their reserve barracks. It's the rail networks and motorways, the towns, 
estates, cities and factories where we as workers' pay the price of war 
in poverty from worsening austerity.  And now the threat of conscription.

We cannot move without being at war and when we notice it, the 
rhetorical guns blaze "disrupter, extremist, traitor!"  We must be all 
these things.  It's time to distinguish our movement clearly from those 
who support "some wars before the class war".

We are clear that revolutionaries not only oppose their wars but call 
for the transformation of war resistance into a social revolution!  We 
do not call for a return to the situation before the war, their 
"capitalist peace", which is just their repression of us in preparation 
for their next bloody enterprise.

What can we do practically, individually and collectively, home and 
abroad? On the most basic level, thinking globally, acting locally. 
Refuse their consensus and call out the hypocrisy, advocating for 
ourselves and our class across frontiers.  Collectively, reject their 
'national interest'.

Link our struggles to austerity and their war profiteering.  Everything 
we do for ourselves, and our class hinders their 'warfare-state'.  Join 
in solidarity across locality and trade - victory on the home front is a 
victory and example abroad.

From the Arctic rivers to the Red Sea, from Taiwan to the Congo basin, 
continental frontiers are aflame or bristling in preparation. The 
changing faces of the superpower masquerades change nothing. They want 
us to fight - one capitalism, one war! The danger is real, the danger is 
now!
