REVOLUTION is a revolutionary international youth organization.  We launch and take part in a wide range of campaigns against injustice, exploitation, and oppression.  We have other active groups in Britain, Sweden, Germany, Austria, Sri Lanka, and the Czech Republic, not to mention other members scattered around the world.

The Independent, a British newspaper, got it right in an “expose” of REVOLUTION’s involvement in organizing May Day 2001 in London.  It said, “REVOLUTION wants to build a revolutionary socialist mass movement and overthrow capitalism.”

Exactly right! We are opposed to capitalism and the misery, alienation, war, and environmental destruction it creates.

We support all struggles for progressive change, but we do not believe in the possibilities of voting out of existence the wealth and privilege of the ruling capitalist elite.  We believe it will take force to take the power and property away from the few and put it into the hands of the many.

We reject terrorism and all other isolated acts by tiny groups.  Instead, we fight for the building of a mass organization based on the support of the majority of the world’s population – the working class.  The working class produces all the wealth in capitalist society.  It is the exploiters who rob the workers of the world, who live in luxury while others languish in poverty, who subject the people of the world to the crippling effects of the routine crises caused by the anarchic capitalist method of producing and distributing life’s necessities. The working class itself has no interest in keeping capitalism going. In addition, the working class has the power, the size, and the traditions of organization to bring this rotten system crashing down.

We want to overcome every barrier that the capitalists use to divide us and weaken our struggles. We fight all forms of discrimination and oppression, whether on grounds of sex, race, nationality, or sexuality.

We are internationalists, not nationalists. Capitalism is a global system, so we have to fight it globally. We want to leave the borders and divisions of nations behind and move forward to a truly global and united humanity, without bigotry, war, and class division.

We stand shoulder to shoulder with our sisters and brothers in the developing world struggling to break free of the trillion-dollar debt, the International Monetary Fund [IMF], the World Trade Organization [WTO], and the North-Atlantic Treaty Organization [NATO].

We fight alongside anyone whom we share goals, and we organize for revolution – the only solution to the world’s woes. A socialist society would base itself on direct democracy, collective ownership, and democratic planning of the economy for human need, not private greed.

In REVOLUTION, you will not be a pawn in a group run by unelected people who boss you about.  The members own and control the organization, not the other way around.  There are a wide range of different views, ideas, and interests in REVOLUTION – everyone has a say, and we make all our decisions democratically.

That is what we stand for. You can find more information in our manifesto. If you want to help, then join us today
