Especifismo is an anarchist praxis which originates in South America. Especifismo emerged out of nearly 50 years of anarchist experiences in South America starting with the Federación Anarquista Uruguaya (FAU), founded in 1956 by anarchists who saw the need for an organization which was specifically anarchist. It has been summmarized as:
1) "The need for specifically anarchist organization built around a unity of ideas and praxis.
2) The use of the specifically anarchist organization to theorize and develop strategic political and organizing work.
3) Active involvement in and building of autonomous and popular social movements, which is described as the process of "social insertion." [1]
Other organizations that hold to Especifismo include Federação Anarquista Gaúcha (FAG), the Federação Anarquista Cabocla (FACA), and the Federação Anarquista do Rio de Janeiro (FARJ) (all in Brazil). Especifismo is considered to have come to broadly similar conclusions to the Organizational Platform of the General Union of Anarchists (Draft) leading to the argument that it is properly considered a new form of Platformism.
