Répertoire de l’autonomie collective

Le Répertoire est le bottin réunissant tous les groupes que nous avons contactés et dont la forme organisationnelle s’apparente à de l’autogestion ou à ce qu’on a nommé « l’autonomie collective ». Les principaux critères utilisés afin de déterminer si un groupe possède un fonctionnement autogéré sont : une prise de décision horizontale et consensuelle basée sur la démocratie directe et/ou participative. Les coordonnées de chacun des collectifs accompagnent la description de ces derniers ainsi que les sigles correspondant aux caractéristiques qu’ils s’attribuent. À noter que tous les groupes présents ont approuvé la totalité des propos rapportés et que ce sont eux qui ont la responsabilité de nous contacter si des mises à jour doivent être apportées.

Si vous appartenez à un groupe (ou connaissez un groupe) qui aurait sa place dans le répertoire de l'autonomie collective, n'hésitez pas à attirer notre attention! Vous pouvez communiquer avec nous via ce formulaire.

Collective Autonomy Directory

The directory is a repertory of all the groups we contacted who are organized along the lines of self-management or what is called “collective autonomy”. The chief criterion used to determine if a group is self-managed is horizontal and consensual decision-making based on direct and/or participatory democracy. A description of each collective is provided along with contact information and symbols identifying the characteristics used by the group to define itself. All groups included in the directory have approved what is said here about them and they have the responsibility to contact us if updates are needed.

If you belong to (or know of) a group that ought to be included in the Collective Autonomy Directory, don’t hesitate to let us know! You can use this form to contact us.

Thanks!

Union communiste libertaire (UCL) (Union of Anarchist Communists)

18 October 2010
Montreal, Quebec and Saguenay

L'Union communiste libertaire (UCL) (Union of Anarchist Communists) was founded in November 2008. The new revolutionary organization took over from the regional union of NEFAC Quebec.

UCL is an organization of activists from diverse resistance movements who identify with the communist tradition within anarchism and share the objective of a revolutionary rupture with the established order. UCL’s activities are organized around developing theory, spreading anarchist ideas, and contributing to the struggles of our class, both autonomously and through direct involvement in social movements. UCL publishes Cause Commune (Common Cause).

On the theoretical level, UCL is aligned with anarchist communist principles and draws on the theoretical basis of this specific tradition. On the tactical level, we prioritize involvement in social struggles according to the radicalization of social movements and building counter-power.

Local collectives exist in Quebec (La Nuit), Montreal and Saguenay.
