Interview with Brazil, Anarchist Federation of Rio de Janeiro (FARJ)

The Anarchist Federation of Rio de Janeiro (FARJ) is a specific anarchist organization in the city of Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. Founded on August 30, 2003, the FARJ identifies its origins in the work of militants as Ideal Peres (1925-1995), his father Juan Perez Bouzas (or João Peres) (1899-1958), José Oiticica (1882-1957) among others. It also has references in political organizations such as the Anarchist Alliance, founded in 1918, and the Libertarian Communist Party, founded in 1919 (not to be confused with the Communist Party and Electoral Reform established in 1922). It also has historical references in the unions influenced by the anarchists in the early twentieth century, as the Workers Federation of Rio de Janeiro (forged), founded in 1906, all the way in search of “social vector of anarchism” of the 40’s, 50 and activities in post-military dictatorship.
