The Informal Anarchist Federation (FAI; Italian: Federazione Anarchica Informale) is an insurrectionary anarchist organization.[1] It has been described by Italian intelligence sources as a horizontal structure of various anarchist groups, united in their beliefs in revolutionary armed action. Groups and individuals comprising the FAI act both as separate organizations and also under the FAI, and are known to work together. The FAI notably has similar aims and ideals to the Greek Conspiracy of Fire Nuclei (Synomosía ton Pyrínon tis Fotiás, or SPF),[2] the two often working in solidarity with each other,[3] and the SPF being known to announce solidarity with FAI in their communiques.[4] The group started in Italy, and since 2012 has committed attacks in other countries across the world.[3]
Consistent with insurrectionary anarchism, the FAI opposes capitalism, nationalism, and Marxism.[3][5]
