(approved June 14th, 2025)
- We are revolutionary anarchists and anti-authoritarians. We stand for free societies based on decentralized, directly-democratic, self-managed collectives, councils, unions and federations where individuals and communities can create, develop, and coordinate a world where the means of existence are free and open to everyone. We organize horizontally, and not hierarchically.
- We stand for solidarity against all oppression. The way to freedom is barred by a vicious system based on hierarchy, exploitation, and domination that ultimately favors only a small ruling-class. Capitalism robs us of our labor, commodifies our lives, and attacks the ecological balance of the earth. CisHetero-Patriarchy exploits and terrorizes women, represses LGBTQ identity and community, and seeks to control and indoctrinate the youth. White Supremacy oppresses people of color, excluding communities of color from decent housing, work, education, and healthcare – and is enforced through violent police brutality, the prison industrial complex, immigration controls – as well as containment and co-optation. Ableism measures our worth by our productivity to capital, dehumanizes our bodies and minds, and stigmatizes disabled people as burdens. The ruling class grants privileges for white, male, and straight workers to buy a degree of system loyalty from the favored, divide the working-class and oppressed, and keep the shackles on us all. We build working-class movements of solidarity across all divisions, while defending autonomous organizing of specifically oppressed groups.
- We are internationalists and de-colonialists. Our world is scarred and bleeding from the competing empires of powerful nation-states who have dominated and exploited other countries and regions of the world. Colonized people have faced genocide, enslavement, and the destruction or theft of their languages, cultures, and customs.” We support and participate in movements against war, occupation, and empire. We reject “campism” which allies itself with one or another imperialist power – and instead promote anarchist internationalism against all empires, the destruction of all nation-states and borders, and support land back to the indigenous peoples of the world.
- We are for social ecology. Humanity as a whole is not responsible for the destruction of the earth’s living systems. The ruling class’s insatiable thirst for profits and power creates systems of domination that are responsible for global warming, climate change chaos, and ecological destruction. The poor, workers, and racialized and colonized communities suffer the most from this wreckage. The egalitarian society we fight for must live in harmony with the earth and all life – instead of exploiting and controlling them. We reject any use of nuclear weapons, because they are incompatible with life. We understand that ecological movements must challenge not just the symptoms but the system at the source of these catastrophes.
- We are abolitionists. The police, militaries, prisons and carceral systems, and the State itself are the repressive arms of the ruling class. These brutal and unjust institutions were designed to enforce the rule of an exploiting elite. They cannot be reformed away or taken over and put to good use by the people. We seek the abolition of the State and its violent institutions. We advocate new forms of horizontal and directly democratic social organization through which to practice restorative justice, community safety, and conflict resolution.
- We are revolutionaries. The changes that we all need will not and cannot come through lobbying the government, electoral campaigns, or coups. Nor can we wait for this system to collapse without struggle. Capitalism, the state, and all systems of oppression will need to be overthrown by the masses of working-class people – not any new elite politician or vanguard. A real social revolution will arise from militant movements of protest and confrontations, walk outs and occupations, mass and general strikes, and ultimately insurrections that destroy the State, expropriate the rich, and redistribute all power to the people.
- We orient to the working class. We prioritize organizing within the working class, including the workplaces, communities, prisons, and schools. We participate as rank & file equals – not as non-profit or union staffers, experts, or “the leadership”. We emphasize a working class orientation because of its vast size and strategic ability to disrupt, shut down and remake the society. A working-class orientation puts us in constant contact with those from diverse communities and cuts against middle-class careerism and elitism.
- We organize our workplaces. Building a base in the working class for anarchist politics and struggle starts largely in our own workplaces. Organizing at work makes contacts outside of activist bubbles, allows us to test our strategies and tactics in the real world, and develops the groupings, networks, and organizations that can catalyze struggle. We seek to build real relationships with our coworkers built on practices of solidarity, respect, and collective creation, such as having each others' backs, being principled in discussion and debate, and experimenting with organization and action. Our scope of action includes "bread and butter" issues like those of wages and benefits, but are not limited to them, including on issues like police violence, criminalization of abortion, and the genocide in Palestine. We have an experimental approach to organization in the workplace which adapts to the context of our struggle without hiding or downplaying our radical politics.
- We use anarchist methods of struggle. We build and participate in egalitarian, non-hierarchical organizations and campaigns. We relate to individuals and movements as equals, rather than as leaders or servants. We encourage self-activity and critical thinking among our base, rather than obedience and reverence. We advocate and practice direct action to achieve our goals, rather than trusting in official processes such as electoralism and lobbying politicians.. We practice and promote a culture of solidarity across the working class, especially among those under attack. We oppose vanguardism and stale front groups, and favor united fronts of militants from different traditions and tendencies fighting for similar goals. We maintain absolute independence from and hostility towards the Democratic and Republican parties, non-profits, and pro-capitalist union leadership.
- We build community self-defense. The police, politicians, and courts do not protect our communities or our rights. The organization and practice of community self-defense is a necessity in revolutionary situations and for our movements today. Building community self-defense protects us from state repression and fascist attacks, democratizes defense capabilities, and keeps the insurrectionary arts alive.
