Neither state capitalism nor private capitalism !
For Freedom, Self-Management and Socialism!
Stalinism and state capitalism - so called
communism - enslaved the countries of Eastern
Europe for decades. Their Moscow controlled
dictatorships plundered these countries for the
benefit of an aristocratic class which controlled
the state and which was every bit as contemptible
as the aristocracies of the former monarchies.
Nowadays another dominating class of capitalists is
on top. However the system of domination and
exploitation remains the same. The majority of
people are excluded from the 'progress' announced
by private capitalism and the western leaders.
The current International Monetary Fund and World
Bank meeting is a symbol of the control of the
international financiers and bosses of global
companies over the countries of the former soviet
block. This globalisation is based on the
globalisation of the exploitation of workers.
Capitalism is the system that ensures maximum
benefits for a tiny number of the worlds people by
imposing misery, joblessness, insecurity and a
degraded life on all the rest of us.
We revolutionary anarchists and anarchist
communists have no interest in who forms this
dominating class. We fight against the very
existence of this over privileged class that exists
to the cost of the world's population. More and
more people believe that capitalism is not
inevitable - in London, Seattle, Washington,
Davos, Millau and now Prague more and more people
reject the rule of the market.
We want a society based on equality, a class less
society in which everyone contributes to the
overall wealth according to their abilities and
from which everyone receives according to their
needs. We want a free society that is really
democratic in all areas of life. This includes
democracy in the workplaces, where decisions must
be made by all wage earners. We want a society in
which we all stand together, without borders.
Let us all stand together to radically change this
current society.
