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. (Source: FAU Pfingstkongress 1989, updated 1993. translated by Tim Bernhardt and H. Douglas Hyman)
