The Capital Terminus Collective is an anarchist communist organization. We are an organization built around specific politics, a political organization. It is our goal to help community groups achieve their immediate goals to improve our city, to aid in the analysis of the current society and our situation, and to work nationally with other organizations who are similar in political consciousness and practice. We are not a vanguard organization and do not believe to have the answer to any problem, rather encourage the engagement of the working class and the poor in their everyday lives to collectively solve their problems in their own community and workplaces.

As a collective, since we have chosen to be a political organization, we have laid out a view point of capitalism and of the State and five Points of Unity that we have all agreed on.

Capitalism:

Capitalism is a system that maintains power over humanity through the private or corporate ownership of land, goods, and services. As a necessity for survival, capitalism divides humanity into multiple classes pitted against eachother. This is the class struggle. The two classes with the most at stake are the capitalists, who own the land, goods, and services, and the working class, who, through laboring, produces the wealth of the capitalists.

The State:

The State is peculiar. It is an ensemble of political systems, arranged in a hierarchical manner, with the intention to control a population within a certain territorial boundary through establishing institutions of social, economic, financial, and physical regulations.

The State isolates people from their own community, and is diametricaly opposed to autonomy.

Points of Unity

1. While we are not opposed to political activity or economic activity, we believe in the abolition of the State and capitalism.

2. We propose a new society based, minimally, on the cooperation of non-hierarchical, democratic, and voluntary workplace and community organization.

3. We do not believe this new society can be created through state reforms, nor by a vanguard organization, nor by capitalist methods.

4. We believe a transformation of society must happen through mass social movements in which the working class uses it's collective power to bring about change, that this transformation will manifest itself in a revolution, and that it must bring about the liberation of all.
