Socialism is stateless society that abolishes money, markets, class, nationality, race, gender, and all exploitation. Under socialism, the mental/manual division of labor is done away with and goods are accessed freely. Socialism strips away superficial divisions of race, gender binary, and the relations between masculinity and femininity that bring about forced roles and domination. Socialism can
not be achieved overnight; society must transition and evolve out of capitalism to reach it.
2. Socialism can only be achieved via class struggle waged by the proletariat organized into a world-wide party. There is no substitute for this.
3. Socialists oppose all forms of imperialism and should never support imperialist war on any grounds. Socialists also rejects nationalism and cooperation with nationalists as it directly opposes revolution. Socialism must be international. Therefore, we must advocate for abolishing state borders and the division of peoples they bring.
4. The struggle against capitalism is directly related to the struggle against white supremacy and patriarchy as they deliberately segment and divide the working class. Class struggle is inherently tied to “identity politics” and cannot be separated in any form.
5. We reject poor examples of socialist societies such as the USSR and its offshoots. Instead, we use the Paris Commune, the early Russian Revolution, German revolution, the Shanghai Commune, and aspects of the Spanish Civil War as examples of genuine class struggle for liberation.
6. The working class cannot come to power via coup or alliance with establishment political parties. Instead, we must develop an alternative that is independent from ruling class politics.
7. We value open debate and collective decision-making. This means opposing centralized structures, layered leadership, and authoritarian control. We do not support mainstream political parties whatsoever. We completely reject opportunistic tactics such as “popular frontism” or “mass line.”
