What the hell is A&S anyway?

A&S is a social anarchist group that believes the power of the capitalist elite – the tiny fraction of humanity that owns the property and wields the economic power - is the single biggest obstacle to organising society completely democratically, where we take part in all the decisions made about our lives.

As long as you have capitalism you’ll have division between the elite and its allies, and everybody else. This is due to the basic conflict between the employer (who wants worker to work for as much as possible being paid as little as possible) and worker (who wants to work for as little as possible being paid as much as possible,). Until this fight is won by the majority we will live in social chaos – working jobs we don’t want to buy things we don’t need whilst the planet dies from this degenerative disease they call ‘profit driven expansion’.

However, all forms of illegitimate power must be opposed, or the fight against capitalism will just put in power another set of rulers: it is no good having a socialist boss rather than a capitalist boss, we need to have control ourselves. So A&S will be run democratically, which necessarily means it will be run equally, with all members having the same say in our group’s path.
