libcom.org is an online platform featuring a variety of libertarian communist essays, blog posts, and archives, primarily in English. It was founded in 2005 by editors in the United States and the United Kingdom. Libcom.org also has a forum and social media features including the ability to comment on post and upload original articles.[3] In contrast with traditional archives, anarchistic archival practices embrace "use as preservation", making use of digital technology to host niche political material in online repositories like Libcom.org.[4]
According to Libcom.org, it was launched in 2003 originally as enrager.net, but changed its name in 2005 to the present name libcom.org, a portmanteau of libertarian communism.[5]
