Mutual Aid is the self-guided development of a community to fill its needs, it is the solidarity of a community existing for itself and not the pigs.

Charity is the morality of the well fed exploiter who foists his leftovers onto the masses and then expects to be praised.

Solidarity is found in constant and persistent acts of justice.

Justice is not vengeance. Justice is when you resolve the cause of the injustice, when the attack stops.

Healing can only begin when the attack stops. Therefore mutual aid is our best hope for peace in our lives.

Mutual Aid is not enough but it must be the foundation upon which we build the scaffolding to construct a world that we look forward to living in.

Next is Mass Work.

Mass Work is the framework of our struggle. It is the vehicle that makes our mutual aid vital and robust.

Mass Work is the active process of merging our broad political program and outlook with the particular themes and needs of our communities.

These two ideas together allow us to create a mandate.

A mandate is the total belief of the people in your formation to serve them.

Your mandate grows from being reliable, efficacious, frugal, compassionate and humble.
