Alarm Anarchist Collective Manifesto

Alarm is a youth anarchist collective, with cells both in Melbourne and Sydney. It was formed in the hopes of spreading anarchist ideas, as an alternative to the ideas forced upon us every day. Though Alarm was formed in Sydney, it doesn't have a "base" or a head quarters - it is a collective which is trying to help spread revolutionary ideas across Australia.

We are opposed to all forms of dominance, hierarchy and bureaucracy. Thus, we are opposed to capitalism - for it is an economic system based on systematic exploitation of the working class for the benefit of a privileged few, the ruling class- and (all arms of the) government - which we see as an institution used to protect the interests of the ruling class. We wish to help lay the foundations of a world of anarchism; with communities based on liberty, equality, solidarity and direct democracy.

Alarm is an anti-racist, anti-sexist, anti-homophobic, and anti-nationalist collective. These divisions are used to divide us as a people against ourselves, and we reject them in all forms.
We activiley oppose these divisions, and wish to continue to do so by educating and resisting; by helping to build a strong anarchist movement, and by activism in all areas of life; and by creating alternatives to capitalist media, which only reinforces these prejudices; and by building solid networks to support one another.

As said above, Alarm is an anarchist collective, and welcome all people with congruous politics to join the collective.Presently, Alarm does not have a solid political ideology within anarchist ideas, so all anarchists (from eco-anarchists, to anarcho-syndicalists, anarcho-communists, etc) are welcome, the exception being national anarchists and Anarcho-capitalists.

To be a member of a collective, a minimum amount of activism is required within the collective - this can be done through contributing articles, contributing to discussion, distributing zines, or whatever suits you.

If you wish to join the collective, you're welcome to do so by any means that suit you. The simplest being sending an email to alarmcollective@riseup.net, and letting us know. You can also come to a meeting and join, or through a collective member.

Solidarity,
Alarm.
