Our goals
We can only move toward a truly just world by leaving behind the current system which is built on exploitation and oppression. We demand that states and corporations are held accountable for the harm they cause. We work toward a society where life - not profit - is central. A society where care, community, healthy food, shelter, education, and a meaningful existence are accessible to all, where Indigenous rights are respected, and predatory corporations have no place. This requires more than resistance: it requires rebuilding, repair, and a radical redistribution of power and resources. We focus on three core points.
1) Stop destructive infrastructure and repair the damage
Destructive industries, such as the fossil fuel and arms industries, earn billions each year by exploiting people and nature. They leave behind ecological, social, and physical destruction while collecting huge profits. Shielded by a system rooted in racism and exploitation, they evade all responsibility.
The relentless hunt for money is best visible in, for example, the villages they abandoned after corporations relocated to cheaper sites, poisoned soils, displaced communities, people sickened by toxins or murdered for resisting. This destruction is not a side effect it is their core business model.
These practices must end. But that alone is not enough. The profiteers must pay for the damages they caused. We demand full liability of states and corporations for the harm they are responsible for - from gas extraction in Groningen to oil spills in the Niger Delta. Repair means debt cancellation, financial compensation, structural restoration, and investment in community-led ecological recovery and self-determination.
2) Toward local production and exchange
Fossil and logistical infrastructures are some of the major drivers of the life-destroying climate crisis. The growing power of shipping giants and mega corporations systematically pushes local farmers and producers out of the market. Meanwhile, the West plunders the rest of the world through over-consumption and large-scale resource extraction. Oil and gas drilling for mega profits devastate local communities whose lands are being destroyed. Exploitation of nature, modern slavery, child labor, war, pollution, and unchecked emissions, fossil and logistical capital stops at nothing. On the contrary, it keeps expanding in the name of efficiency and economic growth, even as the climate crisis demands urgent action to prevent humanitarian and ecological catastrophe.
But another world is possible. Breaking free from the grip of the logistics empire begins with reconnection and redistribution. We must restore local production and exchange, support decentralized small-scale production, and collectivize ownership. The logistics sector must be decentralized and democratized so that local and affected communities take the lead. We need an economic system in which everyone can live well and meaningfully.
3) Global justice
The Netherlands must stop maintaining and supporting colonial structures and take responsibility for the harm that are the result of these structures of oppression. The Dutch state still places economic interests above human lives, underpinned by racist assumptions that devalue the lives of people of color and those in the Global South. By clinging to trade interests and military alliances at all costs, the Netherlands makes itself complicit in mass oppression and violence.
We demand an end to Dutch financial, logistical, and political support for colonial and genocidal projects. This means: a complete trade and arms embargo with Israel, a ban on the transit of weapon parts through Dutch ports, and concrete reparations for peoples formerly colonized and exploited by the Netherlands. We will hold the Dutch state accountable for its complicity in the oppression and extermination of Indigenous peoples, and we advocate for the right to self-determination of these peoples worldwide. We choose a world in which solidarity and justice are more important than geopolitical and economic gain.
