Organized anarchism keeps on growing. Here's the press release of Sunrise Anarchist Collective out of Portland.

Sunrise Anarchist Collective

We bear the weight of capitalist oppression on our backs. We are seen as simple vehicles for profit, wage-slaves that are fodder for the machine. We are deprived of our own self-determination and lacking in autonomy. The capitalist machine steals from us our rights and turns them into markets to be pillaged and ravaged, survival becoming a profitable enterprise. Under these systems of exploitation we are all oppressed; it is our common bond, our master story. We all sell our labor for wage, our bodies for the profit of some far detached figurehead. We are alienated from the world that surrounds us, alienated from our production and our communities. We can trace our oppression to a single root: capitalism. Capitalism is what oppresses us all; capitalism is the cause of all our strife. This is not a natural occurrence; this is not the way that things must be. A different world is possible. A world held in common, with dreams and desires, a world of freedom and equality.

We organize to take back what the capitalist machine has stolen from us. We all strive for autonomy, self-determination, equality and justice. Justice is a word thrown around by the bourgeois. To the bourgeois, justice means protection of privilege and the continued oppression of the lower class. We see justice as holding the oppressors accountable for their disempowering actions. We believe in empowered communities that are self sustaining and collectively governed. We strive to place the power back into the hands of the people, instead of its current concentration in the hands of the few.

We see a world free from all forms of oppression. We see a world filled with beauty, creativity and passion. We see a world where each individual has the ability to reach their full intellectual, artistic and physical potential, free from the suffocating oppression that stems from capitalism. We see a world where every individual is clothed, fed and housed. We see a world where each person has access to good health, education and the tools needed to flourish. This is our struggle, a struggle for freedom, for equality, and for solidarity.

We are tired of hearing endless promises from mayors, managers, presidents, and union bosses. We see a new world built around real democracy: democracy in our communities and democracy in or work-places.

If you dream of freedom, if you want a liberated world, if you yearn for revenge, contact us.
