ARF: THE MANIFESTO

Much of the following is an altered and abridged version of Shifu's 1914 work, "Goals and Methods of the Anarchist Communist Party."
This is the core guide and ideals followed by ARF.
What are the goals of the Anarchist-Communist Revolutionary Front?


1) All the important items of production - land, electricity, factories, farming tools, machinery, and the like - will be taken back and returned to the common ownership of society; the right of private property will be eradicated, and money will be abolished.2) All the important items of production are things common to society, and those involved in production may use them freely. (For example, those who farm may freely use land and the tools of cultivation, and will not need to rent from a landlord as at present, or be used by a landlord; those in industry may freely use the machinery in factories to produce goods and will not be employed by factory owners as at present.)3) There will be no classes of capitalist and labourer; everyone should engage in labour. (Such careers as agriculture, construction, communications, education, medicine, child care, and all other kinds of effort in which humankind is involved for livelihood, all these are labour.) Each person recognizing what they are suited for and able to do, will work freely without oppression or limitation.4) The products of labour - food, clothing, housing, and everything else that is useful - all are the common possessions of society. Everyone may use them freely, and everyone will enjoy all wealth in common.5) There will not be any kind of government. Whether central or local, all government organizations will be abolished.6) There will be no armies, police, or jails.7) There will be no laws or rules.8) All kinds of public associations will be organized freely in order to reform all kinds of work and manage all aspects of production so that we may provide for the masses of people. (For example, those adept at farming can unite with their comrades and organize an agricultural society.) These public organizations will range from the simple to the complex. These will be organized by the workers in each kind of work, and there will be no leaders or managers. Those who take these responsibilities will also be seen as workers, and they will not have the authority to manage others. In these associations there will also be no statutes or regulations to restrict people’s freedom.9) The marriage system will be abolished; consenting adults will unite freely. Any offspring will be cared for together in public hospitals. The children born will receive care in public nurseries.10) All the youth will go to school and receive an education, from the age of six to the age of twenty or twenty-five. All people should attain to the highest level of learning according to their abilities.11) All people will devote themselves to labour after completing their education until the age of forty-five or fifty. After this they will retire to a public old people’s home. All who are sick or have other health problems will be examined and treated in a public hospital.12) All religions and creeds will be abolished. As to morality, people will be free, with no duties or restrictions; this will allow the natural morality of “mutual aid” to develop freely to its fulfillment.13) Each person will work two to four hours at most every day. In the remaining time each day, people will be free to study science in order to help with the progress of society. For recreation they may pursue the fine arts and the practical arts in order to develop their individual physical and mental powers.14) In schools and education we will select a suitable international language so that the different languages and literatures of each nation will gradually be eliminated from daily use, and the far and the near, the east and west, will have no boundaries at all. Children may be raised speaking a cultural language as well, but all should know a common.

If we wish to achieve such goals, we must use methods such as the following:1) Use newspapers, books, lectures, schools, and other methods to spread our ideas among the common people so that a majority of them will understand the promise and fullness of our principles and the beauty of social organization in the future, and know that labour is man’s natural duty and mutual aid his inherent virtue.2) During the period of propaganda, all should consider the circumstances of time and place to make use of two sorts of methods: first, resistance, such as refusal to pay taxes or to participate in military service, strikes, boycotts, and similar actions; second, disturbances, including assassination, violence, and the like. These two methods for opposing authority and extending our principles in order to hasten the tide of revolution, spreading it far and near-are ways to speed and strengthen propaganda.3) Infiltrate fascist forums and events to plant seeds of change. Ensure to never outwardly state your stance, instead agree with the majority and point out how the current system is furthering that which they distrust.
CORE BELIEFSFascism and oppression must never be tolerated.
The abuse or mistreatment of children in any way must never be tolerated.
All people must unite to assist those currently at a disadvantage in society.
Aid takes priority, always and forever. The people cannot revolt if they are not fed.
No innocent parties shall ever be hurt in acts of disturbances.
Never deny aid based off differing views.
