The Invisible Committee is a collective and anonymous author from France, known for its radical leftist political ideas. It was formed following the arrest of several individuals in Tarnac, a village in central France, in 2008. The group, who were accused of sabotaging railway lines, were cleared of terrorism charges in 2018. Their existence as a named entity, however, has been disputed. The Invisible Committee is known for their best-selling book 'The Coming Insurrection', a controversial and inciting reflection on contemporary society and capitalism.
Their ideas, based in anarchism and anticapitalism, are inspired by a desire to foster decentralised, autonomous communities outside of the reach of structured governance and big corporations. Other notable works include 'To Our Friends' and 'Now', both of which further delve into critiques of modern capitalist society and advocate for insurrection and resistance. They have greatly influenced both the academic world and activist circles, contributing significantly to anarcho-communist thought and the broader anarchist movement. The Invisible Committee continues to condemn capitalism, state control, and technology, promoting insurrectionary action and the creation of autonomous communities.
