Affinity Group
An affinity group is usually a small group of political activists on the left (usually 3-20) who work together to implementation of a direct action.
Affinity groups are organized in a non-hierarchical, usually used as the method of consensus decision-making and are often made of trusted friends of common ideology. They provide a flexible method of organizing and decentralized.
affinity groups can be based on a common ideology (eg anarchism), a common concern about a specific problem (eg anti-nuclear) or a common activity, role or responsibility (for example, the Black Block ). Affinity groups can have membership in both open and closed, though the latter is much more common.
Leadership
political autonomy disclaims militant figures such as Secretary, President, etc ... as each is philosophically and politically autonomous, activist antihierarchical.
For this reason, all the movements and collective persons are structured in a non-hierarchical, have charged the maximum duration of one year, and have no leader. Often, they resort to the Spokesman of the figure, which is elected by the directors of the movement or group and shall hold office for one year or less (even though his tenure may be extended in time, if the Executive approves).
