Capitalism cannot be reformed.
Capitalism generates exploitation, inequality, and oppression. We organize the working class to transform society through collective power.
We fight for democratic socialism.
Workers must collectively own and democratically control the means of production. Human need, not profit, guides the economy, with healthcare, housing, education, transit, and energy decommodified and universally guaranteed.
We are abolitionists and feminists.
We fight to abolish policing, prisons, and carceral systems, and we uphold socialist feminism and trans liberation as central to our struggle. We confront racism, colonialism, ableism, and all systems of domination as inseparable from capitalism.
We are internationalists.
We oppose the imperial core and its militarism, stand in solidarity with global liberation struggles and Indigenous sovereignty, and practice proletarian internationalism.
We fight for ecological justice.
Capitalism’s growth imperative is incompatible with sustainability. We demand a just transition that secures livelihoods, public ownership, and ecological survival.
We prefigure the world we seek.
Our organization models democracy, accessibility, transparency, and solidarity. We enforce anti-harassment standards, reject surveillance technology, and ban the use of generative AI in chapter operations. We promote behavior and action that is comradely and leads to social good.
We contest power that is oppressive in nature, on all fronts.
We build working-class organizations in workplaces, communities, and culture; we engage in mutual aid and political education; and we run electoral campaigns to build independent socialist power while remaining accountable to our membership.
We practice democratic unity and accountability.
We embrace open debate, collective execution of decisions, and constructive reflection. We hold ourselves to our commitments, protect member data and privacy, and maintain transparency in our finances, records, and governance. We also exercise the practice of calling in instead of calling out when enacting mutual accountability.
We are committed to education.
We believe that education is the foundation of effective organization and as such commit to the sharing of our information and educational materials. We embrace life long learning and commit to maintaining open minds and open hearts where good faith is found.
