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.
