Forum Post: What is not to be done and what is.

Do not try to agree with each other on anything except one common goal: all power should belong to the people organized by production. In other words, all power in the land should be in the hands of producers of material and spiritual values necessary for reproduction of American society. Whatever differences you have are legitimate differences between producers/workers and exist because of division of labor and similar objective reasons. Once power is in your hands you will negotiate these differences between themselves. The miners of Pennsylvania and the teachers of Oregon, NYC artists and fishermen of Main, workers of the Silicon Valley and the oilmen of Texas, and so forth.

Presently, your movement can have only one rational goal -- the conquest of political power by the people.

Your conquest of state power is achievable by peaceful and constitutional means if your creative energies and will are directed towards this goal.

No more skirmishes with the national security state! This is a road nowhere.

Turn your Assemblies to centers of political organization and action with the only goal of taking power. First, by running your activists for all seats of power, from local to Capitol Hill and the White House. Then, by changing US Constitution and establishing the power of the councils of production. This is the only way to become masters of your life and the future of your children. Form committees of solidarity between employed and unemployed. The unemployed is a powerful force when organized. Work on the first approaches to alliances between productive collectives, sectors, and industries.

Dream big! You are too dis-empowered to demand small things. Do not demand. Organize and take.
