Principles

Anti-Capitalism
We are long into the 21st century; the euphoria after the fall of the Eastern Bloc has faded. The economy, politics, and democracy are in crisis. Right-wing movements are growing stronger and louder. Workers, like yourself, are becoming increasingly dissatisfied. At the same time, the rich are becoming wealthier, laughing at your struggles. They drive past you in their expensive cars, live in houses of extreme proportions—sometimes owning more than one home. They can do whatever they want: hire the best lawyers, travel anywhere, at any time.

But as a worker, you must wake up early every day to report to work. Daily, you labor 8 to 12 hours, sometimes even 6 days a week, only to get a single day off. And not to build wealth, but merely to survive. Inflation, price increases, and low wages weigh on you daily. Life for most of you is hard, and your dissatisfaction is justified!

Moreover, politics disappoints you. While you diligently contribute your efforts every day, it seems the politicians care little about your well-being. They enjoy high salaries, regardless of how the economy performs or what they contribute. Yet, every year, problems only pile up, and nothing truly changes.

But that’s how it has always been, and it will not change. No politician or government will ever truly care about your well-being. It’s all lies.

Socialism
We live in a time where the international labor movement is weakened. Despite the widespread dissatisfaction caused by inflation, low wages, layoffs, and modern-day working conditions, workers lack an alternative. What is to be done? Socialism is rejected by many because the previous century instilled widespread prejudice against Marxist ideas.

Socialism is not autocracy! That abhorrent form of “socialism” that developed in the Eastern Bloc after Stalin’s takeover of the Soviet Union has nothing to do with the ideas of Marx and Engels. Developing socialism as a free, international, and economically just precursor to communism is our goal.

Workers, you have been betrayed! Politics has betrayed you, many so-called “socialists” have betrayed you, and even social democracy has betrayed you! There are scarcely any labor movements left that genuinely strive for the true liberation of the working class.

Politics has lied to you for decades about socialism. They call it autocratic and oppressive. And yes, in the Eastern Bloc, it was. But true socialism will never be oppressive. In socialism, you will govern while no longer being oppressed by the rich. They will not fire you, cut your wages, raise your living costs, or meddle in your politics.

Education
In today’s political climate, there are many lies, but ask yourself: When has anything truly changed? The world gets worse every day; problems multiply. None of the established parties offer solutions, and the right wing will only make things worse. Instead, we offer you a solution: socialism and communism.

It’s okay to be skeptical at first. But do not let old prejudices deceive you. Marxism teaches ideas fundamentally different from what Stalin, Mao, and other Marxist-Leninists propagated. These traitors used our name solely to strengthen their own power. Nearly all former Eastern Bloc states are now capitalist again; their distorted version of Marxism failed.

Our organization offers you the opportunity for comprehensive education on the topics of capitalism, socialism, and communism. A clear mind is always open to new and old ideas. We will support your education. Start by looking into [link to recommended literature] for an introduction to Marxist theories. Unlike the empty promises and slogans of today’s and yesterday’s politicians, our position is based on deeply scientific and dialectically explained principles.

Internationalism
Sundays for Socialism is not a national project but an international organization aimed at building class consciousness. Our goal is to organize demonstrations, strikes, rallies, and general class struggle on the global stage.

We are all human, we are all workers, we are all the proletariat! Regardless of which countries you come from or where you live and organize, we are all connected through a system called capitalism. A system that grants the rich a life of excess while deliberately exploiting you every day. Through your daily labor, you may live—sometimes only survive—but the rich profit from your work every time.

Our aim is to establish sectors and groups internationally. Of course, we are still small, but with every single member, we grow stronger—globally. Anyone can join us, whether or not there is already a section in your country or city. If there isn’t one, we will help you establish one. This is undoubtedly a significant task, but it will make you a hero of the working class.

What we plan for the future:

• Demonstrations every Sunday
  Every Sunday, we will demonstrate for socialism. This day was chosen because most workers have it off. We demonstrate for equality, justice, freedom, internationalism, and socialist democracy. Instead of holding multiple protests for small issues, this is a demonstration for all societal problems today and their solution: socialism.
• Reading Groups
  For every local group that exists, we will organize reading groups for workers, students, and pupils. Diving into Marxism is much easier together than alone.
• Support for Strikes
  If you strike, we will call on workers and members to join in supporting you. The more people participate, the more effective we are together. This not only helps the strikers but also increases solidarity, class consciousness, and demonstrates our strength when united.
• Newspaper
  Our organizational newspaper, The People’s Commissar, will provide a solid alternative to mainstream media. Only the truth will be shared here.
• Educational Offers
  We will help you dive into Marxism. Depending on popularity and membership size, we can offer direct assistance or refer you to recommended reading lists. Note that direct assistance is harder to implement as long as membership remains small.
• Publications
  We will publish new works on Marxism and provide them to you for free in PDF format. Knowledge should not cost money and must remain accessible to all.
