Autonomist Marxism

Autonomist Marxism is a radical political theory that emphasizes the self-organization and autonomy of working-class individuals and communities. It critiques traditional Marxism for focusing too much on state power and party leadership. Instead, Autonomists argue that true change comes from grassroots movements and direct actions by workers who create their own paths. This perspective views capitalism as a system that can be resisted and transformed through collective struggles rather than through established political institutions. Autonomist Marxism is often associated with social movements, cooperatives, and a focus on the everyday lives of people in their fight against capitalism.
