Welcome

Liberty & Solidarity is a UK-based political organisation aiming to build workplace and community democracy through direct action and struggling with all those fighting for change. We stand for the power of workers and local people against the bosses and politicians in order to bring about radical social change, to build a society based on freedom, democracy and cooperation.

We believe the problems which face us, from unaffordable housing to the destruction of the planet's environment are due to the fact we have little to no control over the running of our lives. The reason for this is the class system, where we work for a wage while a tiny group of bosses live off the profit we create.

We believe that if we want to decide our own future, we must organise with our fellow workers both against our bosses and against the state which seeks to protect them.

We want a serious approach, combining theory and practice, where we set targets and assess our progress at regular intervals, and come up with new ideas based on our experiences. Our approach is based on what works.

We believe in making pragmatic and tactical decisions, and not working to unbending principles. We come to agreement through open discussions, and once we have voted on a particular direction we work towards it together.

We believe that the only way ordinary people successfully can govern themselves is through democratic institutions built from the bottom up.
