Statement on a recent attack by so called anarchists spreading malicious gossip about the AnarCom Network

It has come to our attention that some so-called anarchists have accused the ACN of Transphobia and have said that members were kicked out of the ACG for being transphobic. This is untrue and ill -informed to say the least. A small group of people resigned from the ACG as we felt that transphobia was not being robustly enough challenged within the ACG and that a very small minority were using what could be considered transphobic language.

We later formed a new group with people who had left AFed and Solfed and had been inactive for a time, amongst others so we could continue to be a voice for class-based anarchist communism within the UK.

We have tried to keep out of the rumour and back stabbing that has gone on but this is a step too far. Baseless accusations with not even a hint of truth by people who have no knowledge of what happened. At least try to get the facts straight rather than attack what you don’t know and then pretend you are so clever.
