Members of the Bikisha Media Collective attended the April / May 2000 “Le Autre Futur” international anarchist and syndicalist congress hosted in Paris by the National Confederation of Labour-France (“Paris”/ “Vignoles”, hereafter CNT-F). This brought together a number of formations, internationally, mainly the bigger revolutionary and anarcho-syndicalist unions. These included the Industrial Workers of the World (IWW) from the United States, the anarcho-syndicalist Unicobas from Italy, and the General Confederation of Labour (CGT) of Spain. Also present was the syndicalist-influenced Central Workers Organisation (SAC) of Sweden. BMC members participated actively in the events.
Note: There were important splits amongst the syndicalist unions internationally, thus the CNT-F hosting this event was known as the “Paris” or “Vignoles”CNT-F after its headquarters at 33 Rue de Vignoles (33 Vignoles road) in Paris. BMC and its successors never took an official position on the splits, but it would be fair to say that they had and have historic ties with the CNT-F, CGT and SAC.
