RUTHLESS CRITICISM

“If we have no business with the construction of the future or with organizing it for all time, there can still be no doubt about the task confronting us at present: the ruthless criticism of the existing order, ruthless in that it will shrink neither from its own discoveries, nor from conflict with the powers that be.” — Karl Marx

We offer discussions in the San Francisco Bay Area

for people who have something against bourgeois rule and capitalism and want to develop arguments and convince others with good criticisms, thus who grasp criticism as a practical condition and want to cooperate in the removal of the criticized conditions.

For us, discussions are not an end but the means to clarify all questions of politics, economics and ideology, such as:

We are not fans of discussions as mere occasions for contemplation or developing our own ideas; of accusing the economy and politics of failure, of neglecting their noble purposes and principles; of developing alternatives which are supposed to be practical because they accept the methods of state and capital; or of demanding tolerance and understanding, thus immunizing the basic worthiness of our opinions against criticism.
