"[2] The platform's ideological orientation is communist anarchism, based on the ideas of Peter Kropotkin, Mikhail Bakunin, Errico Malatesta, Nestor Makhno and Erich Mühsam, among others.

[3][4] The reason for the founding of the platform was, according to the organization itself, a "general lack of strategy, extensive public invisibility, as well as a bad external impact" of the anarchist movement in German-speaking countries.

[5] According to the organization's own statements, the main focus of the work is rent and industrial disputes, as well as participation in the climate, environmental, and feminist movements.

[3] At the local level, the platform is networked with groups from the Federation of German-speaking Anarchists and the Free Workers' Union.

As a result, the organisation is subject to monitoring and mentioned in the reports for the protection of the constitution of the states of Baden-Württemberg,[9] Saxony-Anhalt,[10] Brandenburg,[11] Rhineland-Palatinate[12] and Bavaria.
