Anarcho-communism entered into internal debates over the organization issue in the post-World War II era. Founded in October 1935, the Anarcho-Communist Federation of Argentina (FACA, Federación Anarco-Comunista Argentina) in 1955 renamed itself the [[Argentine Libertarian Federation]]. The [[Fédération Anarchiste]] (FA), founded in Paris on 2 December 1945,  elected the platformist anarcho-communist George Fontenis as its first secretary the following year. It was composed of a majority of activists from the former FA (which supported [[Volin]]'s [[Synthesis anarchism|Synthesis]]) and some members of the former Union Anarchiste (which supported the CNT-FAI support to the Republican government during the Spanish Civil War), as well as some young [[Resistance during World War II|Resistant]]s.<ref>

In 1950 a clandestine group formed within the FA called Organisation Pensée Bataille (OPB), led by George Fontenis.{{Sfn|Guérin|2000}}

The new decision-making process was founded on [[unanimity]]: each person has a right of veto on the orientations of the federation. The FCL published the same year {{lang|fr|Manifeste du communisme libertaire}}. Several groups quit the FCL in December 1955, disagreeing with the decision to present "revolutionary candidates" to the legislative elections. On 15–20 August 1954, the Ve intercontinental plenum of the CNT took place. A group called {{lang|fr|Entente anarchiste}} appeared, which was formed of militants who did not like the new ideological orientation that the OPB was giving the FCL seeing it was authoritarian and almost Marxist.<ref>{{Harvnb|Guérin|2000}}: "Si la critique de la déviation autoritaire de la FA est le principal fait de ralliement, on peut ressentir dès le premier numéro un état d'esprit qui va longtemps coller à la peau des anarchistes français. Cet état d'esprit se caractérise ainsi sous une double forme : d'une part un rejet inconditionnel de l'ennemi marxiste, d'autre part des questions sur le rôle des anciens et de l'évolution idéologique de l'anarchisme. C'est Fernand Robert qui attaque le premier : "Le LIB est devenu un journal marxiste. En continuant à le soutenir, tout en reconnaissant qu'il ne nous plaît pas, vous faîtes une mauvaise action contre votre idéal anarchiste. Vous donnez la main à vos ennemis dans la pensée. Même si la FA disparaît, même si le LIB disparaît, l'anarchie y gagnera. Le marxisme ne représente plus rien. Il faut le mettre bas; je pense la même chose des dirigeants actuels de la FA. L'ennemi se glisse partout."</ref> The FCL lasted until 1956, just after participating in state legislative elections with ten candidates. This move alienated some members of the FCL and thus produced the end of the organization.{{Sfn|Guérin|2000}} A group of militants who disagreed with the FA turning into FCL reorganized a new Federation Anarchiste established in December 1953.{{Sfn|Guérin|2000}} This included those who formed ''L'Entente anarchiste,'' who joined the new FA and then dissolved L'Entente. The new base principles of the FA were written by the individualist anarchist [[Charles-Auguste Bontemps]] and the non-platformist anarcho-communist [[Maurice Joyeux]] which established an organization with a plurality of tendencies and autonomy of groups organized around [[Synthesist anarchism|synthesist principles]].{{Sfn|Guérin|2000}} According to historian Cédric Guérin, the new Federation Anarchiste identity included the unconditional rejection of [[Marxism]], motivated in significant part by the previous conflict with George Fontenis and his OPB.{{Sfn|Guérin|2000}} In the 1970s, the French [[Fédération Anarchiste]] evolved into a joining of the principles of [[synthesis anarchism]] and [[platformism]].{{Sfn|Guérin|2000}}
