Direkte Aktion 
Type Bimonthly newspaper Publisher Direkte Aktion e.V. Founded 1977 Political alignment anarcho-syndicalist Language German Headquarters None[1], officially according to Impressum: Frankfurt (Main) Official website www.direkteaktion.de The Direkte Aktion (English: Direct action) is a German bimonthly newspaper by the anarcho-syndicalist Free Workers' Union. It exists since the union's formation in 1977.[2]
In line with anarcho-syndicalist principles, the editors are elected by the national convention of the Free Workers' Union and can be recalled at any time. They do not receive any royalties for their work. Notably, the Direkte Aktion does not have a central office, instead it is created decentrally in the editors' flats and the union's establishments.[1]
Since DA 170 (July/August 2005), a full online edition of the newspaper as well as a PDF version of the print issue are available. The PDF version, however, only covers the first page of the issue until the next one has been published.[3]
Its predecessors were the Einigkeit (English: Unity) of the Free Association of German Trade Unions, the Syndicalist of the Free Workers' Union of Germany and "Die freie Gesellschaft" (English: The free society) of the Federation of libertarian socialists.
