Everyone on the list considers themselves to be an anarchist, anti-capitalist, recognises the need for revolution and recognises the need for anarchist organisations. Anarchist in this context means list subscribers must self- indentify as anarchists, not sympathetic leftists interested in learning about anarchism. The need for organization implys that list members are active or aspiring members of either anarchist organizations, or organizations pursuing goals congruent with anarchism. Thus members do not believe that stateless socialism will ever be produced from above by electoral politics, and are not members of political organizations that do. Hence absolute pacificists do not qualify for list membership, nor do primitivists who believe the primary struggle is against technology rather than capital.
Anarchists also reject any attempt to limit the freedom of individuals.
The exact focus of the list beyond this is open. Practical activity can be organised or theoretical differences can be discussed. Advice can be sought from other comrades on how to organise specific things or indeed how to organise in general. Everyone should feel they have a right to post to the list and to ask any questions providing its within the guidelines above. This is a list for all class struggle anarchists regardless of organisation.
