Autonomous Marxism

Autonomous Marxism is a political and social theory that emphasizes the importance of self-organization and direct action among workers and marginalized groups, rather than relying on traditional political parties or state institutions. It critiques both capitalism and the bureaucratic structures that often arise within leftist movements. Advocates believe that real change comes from grassroots movements where individuals collectively determine their needs and goals, fostering autonomy and creativity. This perspective values horizontal decision-making and aims for a society where individuals can act independently to challenge exploitation and oppression.
