Anarchy is Freedom!
|
|
|
|
The anarcho-syndicalists seek to realize an autonomous society - a society
|
|
without authorities. Autonomy in all ways of life is the basic idea of the
|
|
anarcho-syndicalism.
|
|
|
|
Thus they refuse the organization of their interests by centralistically
|
|
structured institutions. Such institutions always use hierarchy and the
|
|
imbalanced concentration of power. Nor shall or could anyone realize their
|
|
interests through representatives, such as are maintained in reformist unions,
|
|
political parties, or religious formations based upon congregations, dioceses or
|
|
synods.
|
|
|
|
The directly and indirectly on payment-dependant individuals aim at the ability
|
|
to organize themselves in independant corporation-, subject related and regional
|
|
groups. As they are funded nationwide (Germany) by the FAU (Freie ArbeiterInnen
|
|
Union) and worldwide by the IAA.
|
|
|
|
In order to achieve their aims, they use direct actions: boycotts, strikes,
|
|
general protests, blockades, etc. They reject any parliamentary work. In this
|
|
kind of actions they see the possibility to contend individualistic movements
|
|
and the lack of perspectives.
|
|
|
|
The power of the capitalistic system resides in private and governmental
|
|
authority over production capabilites, and the daily underpayment of the working
|
|
class. Because of that, the economic area is the primary focus of the struggle
|
|
against capitalism.
|
|
|
|
Revolutionary work in the corporations hits capitalism not only in its various
|
|
appearances but also at its root. This work can only succeeed when it is being
|
|
done simultaneously in all parts of society, because all efforts are dependant
|
|
upon each other.
|
|
|
|
We welcome all people who are ready to cooperate with us in this struggle.
