History -- Post-war synthesis federations
In 1945 , the synthesist Italian Anarchist Federation ( Federazione Anarchica Italiana or FAI ) was founded in Carrara . In it , the individualist anarchist Cesare Zaccaria played an important role in conciling conflicting factions . [ 21 ] The Italian FAI adopted an Associative Pact and the Anarchist Program of Errico Malatesta . During its history , it included individualist anarchists such as the important group who in 1965 decided to split off from this organization and created Gruppi di Iniziativa Anarchica [ 22 ] as well as the groups who in the 1970s split off to form a platformist group . [ 22 ] Contemporary members of the Italian Anarchist Federation marching in Rome in 2008 in an anti-Catholic Church manifestation The Fédération Anarchiste ( FA ) was founded in Paris , France , on December 2 , 1945 . It was composed of a majority of activists from the former FA ( which supported Voline 's synthesis ) and some members of the former Union Anarchiste , which supported the CNT-FAI support to the Republican government during the Spanish Civil War , as well as some young Resistants . After a neo-platformist faction led by George Fontenis achieved changing the name of the organization into Libertarian Communist Federation ( FCL ) along with centralization and unanimous vote internal procedures , [ 23 ] a new FA was reestablished on December , 1953 while the FCL broke up shortly after . [ 24 ] [ 24 ] The new base principles of the FA were written by the individualist anarchist Charles-Auguste Bontemps and the anarcho-communist Maurice Joyeux which established an organization with a plurality of tendencies and autonomy of federated groups organized around synthesist principles . [ 24 ] The International of Anarchist Federations ( IAF/IFA ) was founded during an international anarchist conference in Carrara in 1968 by the three existing European anarchist federations of France ( Fédération Anarchiste ) , Italy ( Federazione Anarchica Italiana ) and Spain ( Federación Anarquista Ibérica ) as well as the Bulgarian federation in French exile . These organizations were also inspired on synthesist principles . [ 1 ] Currently alongside the previously mentioned federations , the IAF includes the Argentine Libertarian Federation , the Anarchist Federation of Belarus , the Federation of Anarchists in Bulgaria , the Czech-Slovak Anarchist Federation , the Federation of German speaking Anarchists in Germany and Switzerland and the Anarchist Federation in the United Kingdom and Ireland .

Synthesis anarchism, synthesist anarchism, synthesism or synthesis federations is a form of anarchist organization that seeks diversity upon its participants, which tries to join anarchists of different tendencies under the principles of anarchism without adjectives. In the 1920s, this form found as its main proponents the anarcho-communists Voline and Sébastien Faure, bringing together anarchists of three main tendencies, namely individualist anarchism, anarchist communism and anarcho-syndicalism. It is the main principle behind the anarchist federations grouped around the contemporary global International of Anarchist Federations.
