A Social and Popular Antifascism

Redac-web-01 — 2024-04-10T07:26:08Z

We generally favor social movements as instruments of change and action on reality. In terms of anti-fascism, they can have an essential role of containment and alternative.

To fight all Forms of Alienation

Redac-web-01 — 2024-04-10T07:26:07Z

The emancipation of each individual is not, for us, a secondary perspective. Far from opposing them, we affirm that the fight for individual freedom cannot advance without the support of collective struggles.

To destroy Patriarchy

Redac-web-01 — 2024-04-10T07:26:06Z

The fight against patriarchy is a specific struggle which cannot be reduced to the fight against capitalism, although both feed each other.

To Break the Mechanisms of Racism

Redac-web-01 — 2024-04-10T07:26:04Z

The fight against racism is an essential issue for all those who fight for equality. It is of particular importance to enable solidarity between all exploited people against the State and employers.

To free the Society from the State

Redac-web-01 — 2024-04-10T07:26:03Z

We reject the myth of the republican, neutral, democratic state, overlooking particular interests. The State, on the contrary, is the organization of the political violence of the ruling classes which imposes itself on the basis of society.

A Driving Force : the Class Struggle

Redac-web-01 — 2024-04-10T07:26:02Z

Class struggle is the heart of our revolutionary struggle. It is both the bearer of partial transformations opposed to the logic and interests of the dominant, and of a revolutionary rupture laying the foundations of a new society.

Anticapitalism is Vital

Redac-web-01 — 2024-04-10T07:26:01Z

We do not only oppose the abuses of the system that dominates the entire world today. We are radically opposed to its foundations.

An Open Approach

Redac-web-01 — 2024-04-10T07:25:59Z

We are supporters of self-organization and direct democracy, resistant to the cult of unanimity and summary spontaneism. We know that these concerns may meet those of other “schools” of socialism.

The Environmental and Social Emergency

Redac-web-01 — 2024-04-10T07:25:58Z

The global ecosystem is today threatened by climate change, the loss of biodiversity, the poisoning of both soil and water, land development, and deforestation.... The environmental struggle has, in other words, become vital. This struggle will however only makes sense if it is both anticapitalist and antiproductionist.

A Self-managed Activist organization

Redac-web-01 — 2024-04-10T07:25:57Z

UCL is a self-managed federation, placed under the collective responsibility of all of its activists. Without denying the necessity and importance of the organization's coordination and leadership activities, we seek to establish a horizontal and decentralized framework for debate and intervention.
