True social equality requires equal access to the means of production. Anarchists believe in the need for a total Revolution. There is no aspect of the existing evils, Capitalism, Patriarchy and the State, that we can afford to leave intact if we seek to build a world free of oppression. Like cancers these structures will reappear and destroy freedom if they are not sought out where- ever they are manifest and destroyed utterly and simultaneously. Because our goals are radical, involving the total overthrow of the existing order, we cannot hope to accomplish them by reformist means within that order.
Anarchists deny the distinction between ends and means.
Liberation and revolution are our activities not our ends. For this reason we will never be able to achieve freedom through authoritarian methods or destroy the State by seizing control of it. Anarchists follow no leaders. No-one can lead us to take responsibility for our own lives. Only we can liberate ourselves.
