Our work is centered on building mass movements rooted in shared points of exploitation. That’s where we have the power to improve our lives now and ultimately dismantle capitalism, the state, and all forms of oppression.
A true revolutionary rupture becomes viable when the dominated classes have built up the capacity for force necessary to destroy the total system of domination. The accumulation of this capacity for force—what we call popular power—hinges on a long-term process of building and uniting independent social movements from below, together with anarchist political organizations, into a broad front aimed at upending current social relations.
Taking a critical look at the current conjuncture and our own capacity, we see neighborhoods, workplaces, schools, and sites of incarceration as key sectors for building popular power.
