Someone has encouraged me to engage in party politics by joining a political party. However, I oppose it, because political parties often represent interests that conflict with my own values and belief system.
Rather than aligning myself with parties that promote agendas incompatible with my views, I want to organiz my local community, prioritizing grassroots involvement and direct democratic participation over representative party politics.
As a syndicalist, I firmly believe that the working class should organize itself in autonomous, democratic, bottom-up unions that are driven by their members’ collective self-management. These unions should be the foundation of socio-economic organization, structuring our local communities around the needs of the people rather than profit.
In my view, fundamental needs like food, shelter, housing, and clothing are universal human rights that must be guaranteed to everyone regardless of race, gender, or appearance, free from hierarchy.
