About Us
We are workers. From the moment we opened our eyes, we have witnessed the savage exploitation of our fathers and mothers, our neighbors, the residents of our working-class districts, and workers everywhere by capitalists and by capital itself. With our flesh, our skin, our veins, and our blood, we have experienced that all capital and all wealth are produced by our class, while poverty, misery, and degradation are increasingly piled upon us.
The more we have produced, the more deeply we have been separated from the means of production, from the process of labor, and from the products of our own work. The more we have expanded the power of capital, the more exhausted, diminished, and dehumanized we ourselves have become.
With open eyes and with our whole being, we have seen that the state, the army, the law, rights, morality, culture, the police, religion, the mosque, the pulpit, and everything in existing society belong to the capitalist class. They defend capitalism, stand against us, and serve the continuation of our ruthless exploitation by capital. Our consciousness, understanding, thought, reason, emotions, and perception are inseparable from these realities.
By virtue of being workers, we are spontaneously anti-capitalist and opposed to wage slavery. No special philosophy, science, expertise, or intellectual authority is required to teach us hostility toward capital. The roots of our spontaneous anti-capitalism lie here, in the depth of these lived realities.
We are not a group, a party, an organization, a committee, or any faction. We consider such formations—constructed over the heads of workers—to be instruments that divert our class movement into bargaining with capitalists and the pursuit of state power. This kind of organization-building, even when accompanied by anti-capitalist rhetoric and left-wing posturing, is a method alien to the working class.
The natural form of organization for our class is the council. Within the course of council-based struggle, we must come together to discuss, to share our experiences and awareness with one another, and to strengthen and advance the spontaneous anti-capitalist orientation of our class.
We do not publish this periodical in order to lead workers’ struggles. Not only do we make no such claim, but we regard any form of leadership authority, any relation of followers and leaders, and any degree of subordination of the workers’ movement or the working masses to the will of leaders as a disaster for this movement and a deviation from the real path of anti-capitalist struggle.
We want this periodical to be a tribune for anti-capitalist influence within our everyday struggle as workers. The purpose of publishing Against Capital is to expand the active role of as many workers as possible in determining the direction, methods, and course of the class struggle—both in resisting the constant assaults of the capitalists and in achieving the ultimate liberation from the very existence of capitalism.
