What do you see when you walk down one of the metropolitan Areas on ArcCorp? The glittering skyscrapers? The glowing neon adverts made in full-block size? Merry mood of fizzing drinks and soft music? Do you see the cost to workers of producing all that glitz? The indentured servitude on ArcCorp fusion engine factory floors? The suicides of their exploited workers? How about the life-sucking toil of those subjected to the neo-feudal misery the odious Hurston family has set up for its own profit-generating machine? And how many people are told about the state-corporate collusion that expelled tens of thousands of original settlers off Stanton planets, clearing the way for the four megacorporate parasites to set up their operations there? We live in cities and infrastructure built up by workers, use services provided by workers, fly spaceships put together by workers; no wealth is produced in our societies without the collective work of the working class. Yet the same workers are placed under the brutal profit-generating machines of private ownership, and the state is nowhere to be seen in this uneven struggle between the people and their bosses. We are here to drive a wedge in this intolerable reality. We are Free People's Union - one of the largest left-wing, revolutionary organisations standing both against the leeching private capital and the self-serving political elites of UEE. We work and struggle to liberate workers and offer them our self-sustaining, egalitarian community as a way out of the dual yoke of corporate vultures and corrupt political parties of the Empire. We emerged from the Free Town of Levski in 2950 as one of the movements splitting from the original People's Alliance that runs the separatist community on Delamar. With our founding, we declared the purpose of taking the emancipation campaign back to hotspots of both state and corporate injustices, and continuing the long history of worker resistance to the prevailing order. This also means we are against reactionary private organisations, groups and movements, as well as piracy against helpless civilians. We use our resources for countering these forces and helping those who need protection. FPU is now busy coordinating work of its various departments – from industrial workers to logistics personnel, from merchant fleet to defence units and intelligence professionals – in a continuous effort of providing a material base and self-sufficiency, and facilitating ongoing campaigns for liberating more of our comrades. Our central principle is the time-tested idea of egalitarian communities throughout history: From each according to their ability, to each according to their need. For an idea of what we do when we get together and pursue good time together, and what we stand for in general, see this article: https://conscientiousmag.wixsite.com/home/post/fruits-of-labour-a-day-in-the-field-with-free-people-s-union If this sounds interesting, we would love to welcome you as our comrade in our daily interactions, our operations and events, and for the friendly and fun socialising we try to create around our group. By joining us, you are becoming a member of an egalitarian group that welcomes everyone and aims to create a comfortable space for LGBTQ people, minors, people with disabilities and those seeking support in their daily struggles with the exploitative status quo that drains mental health from working-class individuals. We are also a democratic collective where leadership positions are filled based on elections, and the formal structure of operation is put in place to ensure a practical, efficient operation of the community. Members are assigned to departments of their interest and given opportunity and resources to pursue their passions while contributing to the overall cause of the Union. We hold regular operations where the wealth created through our collective work is then distributed based on contribution and need. Together, through cooperation and loyalty, we will build a working-class society where all are born and live free blae Secretary-General Free People’s Union We have a lively communications channel on Guilded platform, with conversations on topics ranging from daily activities to creative ideas, and from political talk to memes and music-sharing. The server is also the place where we welcome emissaries from other organisations, form alliances with like-minded groups and collaborate in joint projects serving our causes. The most basic rules we have in place can be found on the Charter section of our RSI platform page: https://robertsspaceindustries.com/orgs/FREEPEOPLE For further inquiries about the Union, our work and other questions, get in touch with us: https://www.guilded.gg/r/zz4l38onPE?i=Md3J5Wz4 https://discord.gg/Pk8FWWy9CH See you on the right side of history.
