I've been researching theories and history of anarchist organization (specifically the platformists, french libertarian communists, italian organizational dualists, and latin american especificists). The info on especificismo in english is scant, but super intriguing. I have read A. Weaver's article on it, and these articles from NEFAC's site
* Especifismo: The Anarchist Praxis of Building Popular Movements and Revolutionary Organization in South America, Adam Weaver
* The Social Question: Latin American Anarchism and "Social Insertion", ZACF
* Declaración de Principios de Federacion Anarquista Uruguaya, FAU

I was wondering if others knew of any English articles about the topic? Worst case scenario if there are good spanish texts I might be able to get them translated. Thanks for any help available.

I found an article barried in the NEFAC site (which, NEFAC folks if you're listening, could be added to the long section that groups all the articles on platformism and organization). It is from the OSL (Libertarian Socialist Organization) in Argentinia that has some of the concepts of the especificista organization:
The Need of Our Own Project: On the importance of a program in the libertarian political organization.
by ORGANIZACIÓN SOCIALISTA LIBERTARIA (Argentina)
