To commemorate the 100th anniversary of the Anarchist Congress held in Amsterdam in August 1907, the Federazione dei Comunisti Anarchici has produced an English translation of the 1978 book "Dibattito sul sindacal- The International ismo: Atti del Congresso Internazionale anarchico di Amsterdam (1907)", in which labour historian Maurizio Antonioli examines the process that led to the Amsterdam Anarchist Congress Congress and its significance both within the labour move- ment and the anarchist movement. He then goes on to compile the various reports in anarchist journals of the time, Amsterdam, 1907 producing what is possibly the most complete record of the Congress and the debates that lasted six days.

Debout, les forçats de la faim!” All sing. The French revolutionary anthem has truly conquered everyone. Wherever men, anarchists or socialist, fight against social injustice and dream of the liberation of humanity, the Internationale has become the refrain of war that rings out during strikes, rallies and congresses. It is over. The hall gradually empties.
