What do your politics mean to you?: What more can I say? People have lived far too long under the foot authority, and it's time we bring these instituions of oppression and exploitation down once and for all. We should all be living in solidarity, working together, being able to pursue what we feel is best for us as individuals, and move freely from place to place without question from an elite group that wants to control what is ours.

1952-1973: Radical perspectives in the Caribbean
The experiences of Fundi, Carribean Situationist. " From the start we saw through the fraud of the "independent" unions ... We decided that the union bureaucracy must stop; that there should not be any mediation between us and the boss for this has been responsible for suppressing confidence in ourselves to take up the total task of ending capitalism. ... We developed the capacity for instant strike action. We had meetings on the factory compound and the farms during work hours against the wishes of the boss and traditional unionism. ... Such actions are the bedrock of direct participation which stands in truth against the lies of centralized leadership."
