WORKERS SOLIDARITY FEDERATION:

WHAT WE BELIEVE

AGAINST CAPITALISM AND THE BOSSES


Society is divided into two main groups- the working class (workers of all grades, their families, rank and file soldiers, the unemployed, and the rural poor) and the tiny ruling class (capitalists, generals, professional politicians and top officials). The two classes are locked in a class war.

We oppose capitalism because it is based on exploiting and oppressing the workers and the poor. The State (judiciary, government bureaucracy, police force, parliament etc.) is a tool of capitalism and the bosses.

AGAINST WOMEN'S OPPRESSION AND RACISM

We oppose all oppression: racism, sexism, imperialism, environmental destruction, discrimination against gays and lesbians. We oppose any divisions within the working class. A working class united will never be defeated!

APARTHEID BUILT CAPITALISM

The bosses promote oppression to exploit and rule the working class. Racism was developed to justify slavery, colonialism, and apartheid -capitalism. It was a way to super-exploit Black workers and divides the working class to keep the bosses in power. Apartheid built capitalism

ONLY THE WORKERS CAN FREE THE WORKERS

This authoritarian, racist, capitalist society can only be overthrown by working class revolution. Only the workers and the poor can create a free society because only they have the power, will, numbers and class interest in overthrowing this system.

ONE ENEMY, ONE FIGHT- WORKERS UNITE!

Racism and women's oppression is the product of capitalism and the bosses State. They can only be ended by workers struggle and socialist revolution. At the same time, the workers struggle can only win if it is anti-racist- and anti-sexist - the working class can only be united and mobilised on the basis of fighting all forms of oppression. Racism and sexism are against the interests of all workers.

REVOLUTIONARY TRADE UNIONISM

The working class revolution cannot come through the State. The economic disaster and political tyranny of the Marxist-led Soviet Union shows this clearly.

Socialism must come from below through mass action.

The trade unions must take over the land and the factories and put them under direct workers control.The trade unions must be under workers control, committed to revolution and united as One Big Union. The revolution must be international because capitalism is international.

REAL FREEDOM, INTERNATIONAL SOCIALISM

The future non-racial society we aim at -working-class democracy/ libertarian socialism- will be based on grassroots worker and community councils, defended by a workers army.

We want a society without bosses, rulers and oppressors of any description. We want a democratic economy under the direct control of the working class. We are anti-authoritarian: the only limit on individual freedom should be that it does not remove the freedom of others.

THE AIMS OF THE WSF

The WSF does not stand in elections. The WSF is not a trade union. The WSF does not aim to take State power. The WSF is an organisation for militants who aim to encourage the self-activity and political consciousness of the mass of the people -the workers and the poor- so that they can make the revolution for themselves. Our role is to promote the struggle, but in the end, only the workers can free the workers!

Tomorrow is built today. We support all struggles against oppression. We support the progressive student movement We support existing trade unions, but fight for workers control, a revolutionary programme, and the formation of "One Big Union".

A FIGHTING TRADITION

We proudly stand in the mass tradition of libertarian socialism (anarcho-syndicalism). Our movement has historically attracted millions world wide, because it serves the needs of the workers and the poor, not the power-seekers and exploiters. Today it is growing on all continents.


If you agree with our aims, JOIN the WSF and fight for revolution!!!
