It existed for several years producing an irregular journal of the same name and a number of pamphlets and leaflets. Between 1988 and 1991 some of the same people produced a journal "Interrogations pour une communauté humaine" and after that a publication called "Le point d'interrogation".

NEFAC workplace position paper
The struggle toward libertarian communism must be brought about by the whole of the working class, the workplace and labor unions are an essential point of agitation and struggle. Anarchist-communists must organize within the ranks of labor unions, active in this struggle as both advocates of social revolution and as fellow workers in a collective battle against exploitation
