Over the past 150 years, anarchists, anarcho-syndicalists and libertarian socialists have held many congresses, conferences and international meetings in which trade unions, other groups and individuals have participated.
The First International[edit]
- 1st Congress of Geneva (Switzerland), 3–8 September 1866.
- 2nd Congress of Lausanne (Switzerland), 2–8 September 1867.
- 3rd Congress of Brussels (Belgium), September 1868.
- 4th Congress of Basel (Switzerland), September 1869.
- 5th Congress of The Hague (Netherlands), 2–7 September 1872.
The first anarchist congresses[edit]
After the Hague Congress (1872), which saw the expulsion of the anarchists Mikhail Bakunin and James Guillaume, it was decided to hold a Congress of the anti-authoritarian Sections and Federations of the International in St. Imier, Switzerland. The Congress was attended by delegates of the International federations in Italy, Spain, the United States, France and French-speaking Switzerland.[1]: 32–34
This congress was not considered by the anarchists as the first of a new international organization, but rather the continuation of the old International. It rejected the modifications to the General Rules of the IWMA that had been decided at the London Conference (1871) and the Hague Congress (1872).[1]: 32–34
Congresses of the Anti-authoritarian IWMA[edit]
- International Congress of St. Imier (Switzerland), 1872.
- (6th) Congress of Geneva (Switzerland), 1873.
- (7th) Congress of Brussels (Belgium), 1874.
- (8th) Congress of Bern (Switzerland), 1876.
- (9th) Congress of Verviers (Belgium), 1877.[1]: 38
