Libertære Socialister (abbreviated to LS) was a Danish political left-wing organization which was founded on November 8, 2009, at its third initial meeting in Horsens. The organisation was working on the political ground of an anti-capitalist, revolutionary and libertarian socialist platform.[1] LS had local groups in Copenhagen, Aalborg and Odense and these groups were linked together in a federation, which was described in details the organization's rules.[2] LS was described as "the most important and most visible representative of the anarchist trend in Denmark".[3] LS describe themselves on their website as "a federation of independent local groups that seek to promote the fight for libertarian socialism: a stateless socialist council society based on federalism and direct democracy."[4] LS was an anti-parliamentarist organization and rejected any participation in elections. Instead LS advocates and uses the direct-action-methods of mass anarchism and syndicalism: strikes, blockades, occupations, sabotage, work-to-rule, boycotts, slowdown, demonstrations, etc. LS consider the revolutionary general strike and the popular insurrection as the ultimate weapons that can end capitalism and statism and bring about a libertarian socialist society. In 2017, after a period of in-activity, LS was dissolved.[5]

Activities

Direkte Aktion

LS published the magazine Direkte Aktion, which began to be published in February 2011.[6][7][8]

International relations

Internationally, LS joined the Anarkismo-network[9][10] and is helping to edit the website Anarkismo.net[11] and the Anarchist Black Cat forums.[12] LS participates in international conferences of the Anarkismo-network and is working together with other affiliated organizations on joint campaigns. The Anarkismo-network's European branch has created EuroAnarkismo[13] with the aim of strengthening the international cooperation and the anarchist movement in Europe.[14][15][16] By joining the Anarkismo-network LS has placed itself within the platformist-especifist tradition of the international anarchist movement.[17]
