1) A twenty-something drop-out utopia

AnarCorp maintains structures for the maintenance of Dependants which assume the necessity, not the option of people having Dependants. as the primary privilege of first world twenty-something activists is their lack of any structural responsibility to care for dependents, we abolish this privilege by spreading out care-giving responsibilities and allocating resources to care for dependents, weather we have them at the time or not.

2) A compromise with "the system"

AnarCorp is not designed, nor should it ever function in a manner which, in any concern of justice or the struggle for equality, defers to the legal or cultural systems of oppression which currently hold the tacit consent of the majority of the earth's human population. The structure as it is presented is designed to allow for the honest and constructive interaction of people both within and without, which requires a small amount of activity in economic and legal structures which we would ideally not participate in.

This is not designed to make AnarCorp workers lives easier, it is designed specifically to avoid them running off with their privilege and leaving the rest of the world to suffer in capitalism. It becomes needful to utilize state economic and legal apparatus to the extent that is necessary to maintain a high level of accessibility to our organization and services to those oppressed by the structures we oppose.

3) The vanguard

AnarCorp is a structure specifically designed to include everybody on the planet. from non oppression, to apprenticeship structure, to sustainability AnarCorp seeks to consume the world population in a dual-power alternative to capitalism.

AnarCorps structures for unlearning oppression, and for learning skills for forceful non-violence are not conducive to the formation of small elite para-military units. If AnarCorp at any time wishes to exercise large scale power of force it will of necessity take the form of technological superiority and mass movement, not of trench warfare or coup.

4) A "free love" hippie commune

While AnarCorp will not impose any sort of sexual morality on its members it will impose basic rules of respect of space. AnarCorp does provide spaces for people to meet privately, for whatever purpose they wish, and what happens in those spaces is not our concern as long as it is not oppressive.

The imposition of any sex-culture, be it conservative or "liberal", is not in line with the non-oppressive principle. AnarCorp will respect any mutually consensual sex-life choices it's members make. No deference will be given to claims of contract or infidelity, and no violence of any type will be permitted in response to such claims. Imposing a social sexual contract is a form of oppression which AnarCorp will not participate in.

AnarCorp specifically empowers people to make their own sex life choices and not be harassed, either for radicalism, or conservatism. It is absolutely vital to acknowledge the extent to which sex is utilized as a tool of oppression, and to create as much space as possible for people to assert and define their own sexual preferences insofar as these are not imposed on others

5) Tolerant

Tolerance is the act of permitting that which is objectionable, this is precisely what AnarCorp is designed not to do. AnarCorp will not permit acts of violence, oppression, or threat from within or from without. No sanction is given to AnarCorp members, or a subset there of to violate AnarCorp principals under any pretext, including the "enforcement" or "protection" of said principals.

AnarCorp and it's members respect that which is not objectionable, we do not seek conformity beyond the bounds of non-oppression, and we have no intent of colonization.

6) Fascist

AnarCorp does not at any point wish to impose its structures or methods on non-consenting persons, nor does AnarCorp wish to form a hegemonic culture of any sort. AnarCorp does both expect and impose certain restrictions on anti-social behavior on those who come into its proximity, but this limited restriction is explicitly not used to either indoctrinate or threaten people into conformity.

7) Enough

AnarCorp is a structure to support and provide the physical resources for revolutionaries to live and take advantage of technologies and other systems which are out of reach for individuals. AnarCorp is not in itself revolutionary, the work it performs is designed to be useful and provide alternatives, but, in itself, solves nothing.

Many structures initiated for the purpose of revolutionary struggle become reformist out of self-interest. AnarCorp acknowledges this tendency and the reality of the necessity, so we choose to be cutting-edge reformist and to encourage our members to participate in the struggle, not maintaining any sort of illusions about where a non-armed organization can stand in the revolution.

It is vital that AnarCorp members participate in revolutionary struggle on their own time, being a member of AnarCorp is not a way to do ones share for the struggle, it is simply a tool which allows one access to the time and resources necessary to contribute to the struggle in a significant way.
