No short statement such as the one below could ever cover the complex issues of our times, or our exact positions on these issues as a group. Our aims and principles should be understood as a quick overview of where we stand. The world is not black and white, but we hope the points below might start to illuminate some of the grey areas.

1. We recognise that the indigenous peoples of Aotearoa belong to the land on which we stand, and act in solidarity with Maori engaged in grassroots struggle for self-determination.
2. We work for the creation of a society that encourages cultural diversity. We reject all forms of racial and ethnic prejudice, nation states, nationalism and patriotism: we are not patriots, we are internationalists.
3. The vast majority of society have no control whatsoever over the decisions that most deeply and directly affect their lives, while the few, who own or control the means of production, accumulate wealth, make laws and use the whole machinery of the State to perpetuate and reinforce their privileged positions. Therefore, we believe that the working class and the ruling class have nothing in common. There can be no peace as long as hunger, deprivation and boredom are found among millions of working people and the few, who make up the ruling class, have a gross excess of all the good things of life.
4. We advocate the abolition of capitalism, wage slavery and all economic systems of oppression and exploitation through tactics like direct action, solidarity and class struggle. We aim to create a free and classless society, based on workers’ self-management of the means and relations of production, distribution for need not profit, free association, mutual aid, and federation — Anarchist Communism.
5. We believe the state, like capitalism, cannot be reformed, and refuse to support participation in parliamentary elections. We advocate the abolition of all forms of government and the state and the replacement of hierarchical political structures with those based on direct, participatory democracy.
6. No ruling class in history has ever relinquished its power without struggle. Power will be taken from them by the conscious, autonomous action of the working class themselves and will be a time of violence as well as liberation. The idea that socialism can be achieved peacefully, or by a revolutionary elite acting ‘on behalf of’ the working class is both absurd and reactionary.
7. The only revolutionary body able to end capitalism is the working class itself, in the form of mass, spontaneous and self-organised struggle from below. Meaningful action, as pro-revolutionaries, is whatever increases the potential and practice of these forms in preparation for mass/general strikes within the workplace, trade unions, and the community.
8. We reject patriarchy and fight for the empowerment and liberation of women. We stand in solidarity with feminist struggles, and believe that actively challenging the personal and interpersonal manifestations of patriarchy is equally as important as working towards structural changes. Both need to happen together to create a new society free of male domination.
9. We reject compulsory heterosexuality and fight for the empowerment and liberation of queer, gay, lesbian, bisexual, transgender, asexual and intersex people.
   
10. We reject the marginalisation of those of us in class struggle because of age, experience, mental or physical ability.
    
11. We recognise that our natural environment is under continual assault from the forces of excessive and unsustainable production. Instead, we envision a world where common ownership of the earth and the direct democracy of communities act as the guardian of ecological sustainability.
12. The forms and content thrown up by class struggle cannot be fully known in advance, therefore we aim to allow room for reflection, criticism and change within the group.
13. We operate on the free agreement between those who think it useful to unite and co-operate to achieve the goals above. Members have a moral duty to support the enterprises undertaken as a group and to do nothing that would go against these accepted aims and principles. Full autonomy, full independence and thus full responsibility of the individual to the group is needed to be effective.
