For the first time there is now an international network of militant anti-fascists. The network is launched against the backdrop of the far right's recent successes across Europe and especially in France. As the fascists attempt to gain credibility through electoral strategies, the task for militant anti-fascists is to out radicalise them in the battle for the hearts and minds of working class communities. We stand for the physical and ideological confronatation of fascism, and we are not fighting to maintain the status quo. We see the challenges facing us as a three cornered fight, between the militants, the fascists and the state. We recognise that the ultimate guarantee against the far right penetrating the mainstream, is a strong politically independent working class movement. Militant anti-fascism is a single issue campaign, whose function is to first separate out those who want to fight from those who do not, and then to ensure unity amongst us, to actively combat the isolation we face in our own countries. The groups organised in the network come from a wide range of political backgrounds, but all recognise that if our common enemy is to be defeated it is what unites us, rather than what divides us that must have primacy. The network will ensure active co-operation and communication, to enable us to develop effective stragegies for combatting the rise of fascism. As the fascists and state governments organise internationally, so must we. The network currently comprises groups from 6 countries. We recognise the importance of national organisation as being essential to effective international organisation, and will work to develop militant anti-fascist networks in member countries. Our manifesto document will be circulated as widely as possible, and we call on all militant anti-fascist groups who share our understanding, aims and objectives, to affiliate to the network.
