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. This simple truth is more important than any single politician or ruler, and if we want to change things we have to accept it and fight along class lines. Changing sets of rulers without changing the system is like cleaning the windows of a burning house.

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 must build our own forms of organisation, to govern our movement and to replace the existing order. We oppose all forms of discrimination that divide us from our fellow workers.

We do not believe the defeat of these forces will be an easy task, it will require hard work and dedication. The state will not simply give up when we become sufficiently powerful, but will attempt to fight us by all means and we believe we must be prepared to respond.

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.

We are very interested in involving anyone who agrees with these principles and is committed to seeing our side win.
