The Underground

Monthly Anarchist-Communist Newspaper. Tabloid style - 12 pagesMission StatementTo bring about unity among anarcho-communist organizations.To raise awareness to the general public of the world around them and what alternatives exist in terms of lifestyle and also in terms of products that are freely available and often superior to their financially costly alternatives.To bring various left wing struggles to the public eye, especially those that would otherwise only appear in media aimed at already existing leftists.To try to decrease the dependency on money.To reach out to people, to make them feel like they are not alone in their unhappiness of “the way the world is”To create a community of like-minded individuals sharing skills and knowledge freely for the benefit of everyone.The basic principles just outlined for this paper will help us to achieve our more long term goals of abolishing currency and the private ownership of collective resources such as land, water, minerals, fuels and energy sources and agricultural goods. We intend to replace such a system with one whereby everyone gets their needs fulfilled freely, their wants subject to actual availability and not the false scarcity imposed by the current economy. Collective resources will be collectively owned and used and anyone affected by the use, extraction, transportation and any waste products thereof can have their input on said resource.We also have the goal of replacing the current system of “representative” democracy with true democracy, namely all-inclusive direct democracy, with everyone affected by a decision collectively making it, instead of the current system whereby a small group of individuals are elected to represent millions on the basis of policies they are not bound to in any way. We are also opposed to the more widespread phenomena of unelected, unaccountable and autocratic decision-making made by policemen, bosses, clergymen, army officers, “management consultants”, lawmakers, civil servants and politicians.We recognize that the rational, scientific worldview has benefited mankind enormously and will continue to do so in the foreseeable future. We are therefore opposed to organized religion and the institutionalization of superstition (The Judaeo-Christian moral code, Sharia Law etc) into society.We realize that such lofty goals can only be achieved by a human species looking forwards, united and standing together in the cause of common good, and so to that end we are also opposed to racist, sexist, homophobic, backwards-looking and anti-humanist ideologies and organizations.
