Preface: Why we Organize
Capitalism is a system built off of the exploitation of workers, the theft of labor. The ruling class uses various tools, direct and indirect, to protect this system. Many issues of today are caused by this. Imperialism is needed for capitalism to survive, wars are fought due to capitalist interests, racism, etc.. Marxism is not a static ideology. It is scientific mode of analysis, which gives us the tools to understand the cause of these issues, and how to fix it. It is only through organized struggle of which we can take down capitalism.
What follows are the basic principles which we shall organize off of. These are just the starting place, which we will build off of. They will be tested, and in accordance with their success be changed. The end goal being the liberation of the working class.
Starting Points of Unity
1. Marxism is a tool
Marxism is the method for which we see the world, not a static dogma which must be blindly followed. Everything changes, and so marxism too must change with history. We must question it, and not ignore what we find to be incorrect. We must, however, stay true to Marxism, and not follow revisionist, capitalist and anti-Marxist, ideas.
2. Ideas must be tested in action
No idea matters if it doesn't work on reality. We must study past revolutions and socialist states, taking note of both their successes and flaws. If we fail to do this, if we blindly copy old revolutions, then we will quickly fail.
3. Build healthy organizing
We must reject all forms of abuse and harassment. These only serve to hurt the movement. The end goal is communism, and these will only get us further from it.
4. Adherence to Democratic Centralism
Revolutionary movements quickly fall apart once only a few hold all the power, and the will of the masses are ignored. Decisions shall be made by the majority, and then followed.
5. Maoism as the highest stage
We recognize Marxism-Leninism-Maoism to be the highest stage of Marxism. To adhere to lower stages, may as well be as good as not adhering to Marxism in the first place. Former stages no longer apply well to reality, unlike Maoism.
Workers of the world, unite!
