Title: Who We Are Author: Wild Rose Collective Date: 2010 Language: en Source: Retrieved on December 6, 2013 from https://web.archive.org/web/20131206164409/http://wildrosecollective.org/reading-material/
Wild Rose Collective is an anarchist organization based in Iowa City,
IA. We are workers, students, parents, organizers and activists in and
around this eastern Iowa university town. We are influenced by currents
of Anarcho-Syndicalism, Anarchist Communism, and aspects of Marxism.
Anarchism, as we understand it, is a political theory based in
establishing a society that is free from political, social and economic
hierarchies. It will be brought about by the struggle between the vast,
diverse working class majority of society and the tiny minority that
currently rules.
We see this struggle as being waged primarily through social movements,
and advocate for anti-oppressive and directly democratic forms of
organizing within them. We oppose capitalism, with its drive for profits
over the well-being of people and the environment, and the maintaining
of social and material inequality as the basis for the capitalists’
profits. We oppose the state, and see no solutions by working within the
so-called representative democratic system for social liberation.
