The Anarchist Federation in Manchester

Who We Are

We are the Manchester Group of the Anarchist Federation, an organisation of class struggle anarchists in England, Scotland, Wales and Ireland. There are other northern AF groups in Sheffield, Leeds, Liverpool, North Lancs & Nottingham. We have members in other towns including Halifax, Hull, Newcastle and York. By bringing together northern anarchist communists, we hope to be able to support each other and further the growth of our movement and spread of anarchist ideas.

Read an obituary for Bob Miller of Manchester AF who founded this website, and much more besides. Bob died on Friday 17th June 2011. He will be sorely missed.


What We Want


We aim to be part of the movement to abolish capitalism and all oppression and to create a free communist society. This is anarchist communism. [more]

The War in Gaza


Crocodile Tears for Gaza

This is the text of Manchester AF's recent statement on the Israeli State's attack on the Gaza Flotilla

On May 31th in the dead of night, Israeli elite commandos stormed a convoy of ships carrying aid, preventing it from reaching Gaza, killing nine people and injuring dozens in the process. Those on board had wanted to deliver 10,000 tonnes of food, medicine, construction materials, wheelchairs and other aid to Gaza to break a blockade imposed by Israel since 2007 and provide people with access to some basic necessities of life.

It has enclosed Gaza and turned it into a prison; a prison which could not by maintained without the Egyptian government keeping their own border crossing firmly closed. While 70% of Gazans live on less than $1 a day, another 75% rely on food aid and 60% have no daily access to clean water.
