And they talk about how the fragmentation of the working class under neoliberalism has created some very distinct challenges that require fresh organizational strategies and less dogmatic rigidity to simplistic class analysis.
But they also speak for the need to coordinate and discipline and strategically engage anarchist groups within social movements, retaining their independence but engaging in their struggle. And they also end up in that interview discussing the FAU's long-term strategy as a process of resistance, rupture, and reconstruction.

Resistance meaning that they're strengthening grassroots organizations, direct action, and ideological development. Rupture meaning that they're breaking away from capitalist institutions through revolutionary action. And reconstruction meaning that they're establishing new social relations based on self-management and mutual aid.

It's kind of similar to the way that I break down social revolution conceptually as an approach that incorporates both opposition and the proposal of alternatives. So I have been thinking about Especifismo lately. I made that video many years ago and my anarchist understanding has shifted a lot, especially recently.

In going back and looking at how I would have analyzed things previously, I think there's some different directions that I might take certain things in. I think, for example, the idea of affinity groups engaging in social intuition is extremely valuable in shifting the conversation within these mass movements.

But I also think that there's a risk in the ways in which a specifismo, if not properly understood or conceptualized, could end up opening ground for co-optation towards some rather un-anarchist outcomes.

What I mean by that is, I think it's important, when discussing Especifismo, to be very careful against the interpretation of it as some kind of vanguardist strategy or way to dictate a vision of anarchy. I think that even if somebody's taken the Especifist approach in creating an affinity group organized around a very specific form of anarchism,

That group should still be in conversation with different tendencies and engaging in an ongoing process of critique and convergence of ideas. I believe this was the sort of motivation between Malatesta's idea of synthesis and the synthesis federation in anarchist history. I'll still learn a bit about that.
