the better, and preferably a lot of sneak routes as well. If there would only be one road, it could be easily blocked and we would never reach our destination. Furthermore, the anarchist movement –especially in the Netherlands- is nothing compared to what it once used to be. We, anarchists with our own individual perceptions and tactics, must not fight each other. There are too few of us and that divides us, which is exactly what the state wants. We are not each other’s enemies but each other’s companions in the fight against state and capital. Whether we do it in an organized way, with formal organizations, or in affinity-groups, occasional coalitions or secret alliances. Or whether we are busy with organizing workers on the shop floor or want to destroy everything work related. Whether we are busy with animal rights or gay rights, partial struggle or complete struggle. Whether we organize within the Vrije bond(Free Union) or in the ASB (anarcho-syndicalist union) , join or not join the IFA. Whether we only talk and discus, inform and propagate or throw stones and set fire. Whether we only want to destroy or construct as well… What it is all about is that we are all anarchists that strive for abolition of state and capital. Where necessary, when it is possible and when we feel like it we can work together. By discussing with each other we can learn from each other. Just like formal organizations bring along pro’s and con’s, affinity-groups do as well. Critique and discussion make sure we remain sharp and keep on thinking about which ways and strategies we choose. The one tactic does not need to exclude the other, unless the tactic is counterproductive or not in agreement with our goals. Anarchism has always had many faces and will always have. Let it be a seven-head-monster that fights the state in all possible ways. And when two heads are asleep or resting, the other five are continuing the fight. That is how we together will always have a permanent insurrection.
