Apartidarismo (Non-Partyism)

[Brotto Rühle]

So, I'm wondering if anyone know much of this, or the Portuguese revolution from which this conception was basically birthed.

It's basically movements outside the interests of political parties. So Occupy Wall Street could be considered an Apartidarismo as all protests organized by Twitter and Facebook without parties behind. Same as cooperatives or any non governmental organization.

I think it's not a well developed concept or maybe a broad one. Wikipedia page is small and my computer does not recognize the word.

The problem is that Apartidarios protests against the current politics often have people from both the right and the left in it, but in the end what they want is completely different from each other. Seeing Neo Nazi's and Anarchists in the same protest is kinda hilarious.

As someone from portugal, do you know much of the Marxist Apartidarismo of the 76 revolution?

Not really.
But I'm going to find info about it.

Sounds interesting, but I think the general pro-party/anti-party debate is about striking a balance,

between

(the pro-party aspect)

a formal organisation that requires some commitment (minimum agreement and membership subscription fees) aimed at capturing political power,

but without

(the anti-party aspect)

requiring tribal loyalty to it (when members resign from the SWP they've said its an emotional wrench), punishing members who refuse to sell papers, punishing/ostracising members/public who criticise it, imagining the party will rule on anything now for members and in future for everyone (such as whether a rape was committed) which proclaims itself the sole exclusive revolutionary mantle (comments like 'we're the only serious revolutionary party' etc.).
