1. We are committed to autonomous and competitive democratic associations of workers within an anti-capitalist market.
2. We believe in immediate work toward the transformation of the economy through incentivizing co-ops through reform and working with unions and other workers’ groups to spread the ideals of militant workers overthrowing companies and creating co-ops through withholding labor.
3. We support the democratic road to socialism, as we believe co-op formation requires lawmaker reform to create a friendly and competitive environment for them, and we believe the formation of co-ops will support the road to revolutionary socialism as well to assist our comrades.
4. We encourage our members to join/support co-operatives to be able to better understand the organization, management, and democracy of the tested co-operative model so we may better encourage and support it.
5. We support a dirty break from the Democratic Party.
6. We are committed to pragmatism and helping the people beyond our personal ideological beliefs.
7. We believe that the democratization of society will end all forms of bigotry, discrimination, and oppression through prioritizing immediate economic democracy for the workers and improving workers’ rights and welfare.
8. We prioritize education within democracy, as a voter base needs to be informed to heed the path they want to take.
9. We support pragmatic, meaningful, but realistic steps to a socialist future, tackling one or two problems at a time.
The form of association, however, which if mankind continue to improve, must be expected in the end to predominate, is not that which can exist between a capitalist as chief, and work-people without a voice in the management, but the association of the labourers themselves on terms of equality, collectively owning the capital with which they carry on their operations, and working under managers elected and removable by themselves.
