Isn't this sorta the warmed over Liberty & Solidarity thing?

Yeah, they mention Collective Action as an antecedent, L&S not so much. This said, I have no real idea about who either of those two groups are, other than they were "Wooo The Platform"-type splits from the Anarchist Federation.

Yes, I seemed to have got into a muddle. I followed the link in the button's post:

Then LSF link for Webzine:

http://cawebzine.net/

Then Links on Collective Action's page. I thought that was the links page for LSF.

Given those pages are very similar, interesting to see the changes.

There is indeed much more critical discussion on libcom of the various 'Collective Action' groups earlier stuff that is still relevant to this newish group.
