The Invisible Committee is the nom de plume of an anonymous author or authors who have written French works of literature based on far-left politics and communization. The identity of the Invisible Committee has been associated with the Tarnac Nine, a group of people including Julien Coupat who were arrested "on the grounds that they were to have participated in the sabotage of overhead electrical lines on France's national railways."[1][2]
The Invisible Committee is classified as ultra-left by the Ministry of the Interior of the second Fillon government.[3] Denying the label of "author", this committee claims to be an "instance of strategic enunciation for the revolutionary movement".[4]
