The ASB

 

The Anarcho-Syndicalistische Bond (Anarcho-syndicalist union) is a workers-organisation with the goal to abolish capitalism and the state.  

The abolishment of capitalism because of the exploiting, repressing and misserable situation it creates. Capitalism is characterised by private property of the means of production. This results in a situation where the workers become wage-slaves and the capitalists can profit from wealth created by the work of the workers.

The abolishment of the state because it’s the highest form of authority. It’s a hiërarchic and opressive system ruled by a privileged minority. The state keeps the class of capitalists and rulers in position. This is why the state can’t be a mean for social revolutionary change.

Instead of capitalism and the state the ASB pleas for a free society based on solidarity, mutual aid, workers control and libertarian communism.  This society can be achieved by workersorganisations based on the principles of revolutionary syndicalism, or in other words anarcho-syndicalism. 

Revolutionairy unions are not like other unions. They are not only involved with things like working conditions and the amount of wage.  Revolutionary unions form a means for the workingclass to organise themselves and to fight the opressive powers at work and outside the workplace. This means we also fight against opression based on race, gender or any other form of opression.

The ASB consists of several local unions who are involved with the formation of industrial unions based on shared occupation, the local unions are involved with workers struggle and anti-autoritarian struggle. Our means are direct action by the workers themselves instead of action through representatives like politicians or paid union bureaucrats.

The proces of struggle against everything that exploits us is essential for the forming of an other society and this needs to be done by the workers themselves, not by representatives.

The ASB welcomes everyone who supports our aims and wants to struggle towards the social revolution.
