Organise!

Aims & Principles

• Organise! is a working class organisation.

• We aim to create a free and classless society. We are fighting to

abolish the state, capitalism and wage slavery and replace them with

workers control of both production and distribution for ‘Need not

Profit’.

• We believe that only the working class can change society from the

present system of chaos and inequality to a society based on

cooperation, mutual aid and equality. This change musty be achieved by

the conscious participation of the workers themselves. We oppose all

those who would set themselves up as ‘new leaders’.

• The only way to achieve this revolutionary change is through the

formation of an independent workers organisation, the

‘Anarcho-Syndicalist Union’, within industry and the community, in

federation with others in the same industries and localities,

independent of and opposed to all political parties and trade union

bureaucracies.

• The Anarcho-Syndicalist Union is one controlled by the workers

themselves, it is opposed to the sectionalism of traditional trade

unionism and is open to membership of those outside and inside industry,

it will unite, not divide, the working class. Any and all delegates will

be subject to immediate recall to that membership.

• The class struggle is worldwide and must recognise no artificial

borders or boundaries. We must fight all attempts by capitalism to

divide our class by setting worker against worker, employed against

unemployed, man against woman and protestant against catholic.

• The armies and police of this and all states do not serve to protect

us, the exist as the repressive arm of the state.

• At present Organise! is a propaganda group. It is the role of

Organise! to support workers in struggle, to expose the weaknesses of

traditional trades unionism and to work for the creation of an

Anarcho-Syndicalist Federation in Ireland.
