Oceania
Asian Anarchist Network
…”is part of a decentralized network communications system ‘designed’, ‘proposed’ and ‘imagined’–specifically for anarchist groups, autonomous activists, & social formations concentrating on grassroots level of organizing for social transformation. AAN is not an organization or a federation of collectives for a singular ideology–but a platform for exchange and diversity.”
libcom.org forums: oceania
Probably the most popular forum for anarchist discussion used by Oceanians, which isn’t saying that it’s especially active.
The libcom group is a small collective of libertarian communists based in and around London… We intend our site to be a resource for all people who wish to fight to improve their lives, their communities and their working conditions. We want to discuss, to learn from the successes and failures of the past and to develop strategies to increase the power that we, as ordinary people, have over our own lives.
Solidarity South Pacific
At the beginning of the 21st century we all have to choose sides. Do we remain on the side of industrial civilisation, or do we stand with wild cultures and radical social movements – in defence of the living earth?

Industrial Workers of the World (Australia)
The Industrial Workers of the World is a revolutionary union that aims to build  solidarity amongst workers for the purpose of defending ourselves from the injustices and irrationality of class society in the present, and ultimately of bringing about a basically sane and just society based on economic democracy. This we aim to do utilising forms of decision-making and strategies that allow us to avoid perpetuating the kinds of authoritarian oppression we’re trying to overcome.
