The Katz Manifesto

[arvg]

The Coalition, as true socialists, defend Revolution as the only way to achieve the ultimate goal. Revolution can be achieved through an electoral process from within the burgoise democracy itself, through a spontaneous and massive uprising of the people who overthrow government, or through violent action where the oppressed confront the oppressors and their lackeys. Reformism, understood as the appliance of small changes to the capitalist system in order to better it and relieve injustice, does not approach the real solution of the problem (which is the ultimate removal of capitalism) and can even be counter-reactionary (in the classical stance of `bread and circus' that keeps the masses calm while injustice unfolds).

We, as true socialists, believe that Revolution will come from the educated masses of workers and peasants, and from them alone. No illuminated leader, nor `revolution from above', nor "God, King or Tribune" can break the chains of the people. Only we can liberate ourselves. We, thus, reject any kind of deformed socialism implying a `temporary authority', transitional states or enforced socialism. Socialism will only happen with the voluntary cooperation of each and every individual in society, and revolution will only be real if it is the masses who support it.

Specifically rejected from this definition, and from adhesion to the cause of our group, is anyone who identifies him or herself as: authoritarian (the Gallic King, the Gott-Kanzler and the ilk), capitalist (neo-liberalism, libertarist, Liberty and its Corporations, etc.), individualist (as opposed to socialist, like the Zoners, the IMG and the Junkers) , racist, reformist (those sicophants that would only replace that which is with more of the same...), right-wing-nationalist (including fascists, etc.), theocratic (even the TAZ, and any other kind of god-guided fundamentalist), totalitarian (we need only to look at Kusari for proof of that).
