About: Mission & Purpose

Mission & Purpose

This is a think tank focused on democratic socialist policy education, not a political party.

Our Mission

We demonstrate that viable alternatives to current political-economic arrangements exist. We educate the public on how democratic socialist policies would actually work. We build public discourse around worker ownership, anti-monopoly action, and elimination of unnecessary consumption. We show the integrated nature of solutions, not isolated policy proposals. We counter the “there is no alternative” narrative that maintains status quo. We create detailed policy frameworks that prove these ideas are practical, not utopian.

What This Is

This is public education on democratic socialist alternatives. This is detailed policy analysis showing how these systems would work. This is economic analysis of current extraction mechanisms. This is demonstration that comprehensive solutions exist. This is a framework for public discourse about economic organization. This is a resource for people who know current system is failing but don’t see alternatives.

What This Is NOT

This is not a political party platform (yet). We’re not asking people to join a movement. We’re not soliciting donations or volunteers. We’re not promoting specific candidates. We’re not making electoral promises.

Our Approach

Our work is educational, not campaigning. It’s analytical, not partisan. We focus on solutions, not just criticism. We provide detailed and substantive analysis, proving this has been thought through. We make complex ideas accessible to the general public without being condescending. We are direct and honest about problems, realistic about solutions. We build understanding, not asking for votes (yet).

Why We Exist

Both major political parties serve extractive interests. Democrats enable extraction through consultant capture, public-private partnerships, and incremental reform that preserves the status quo. Republicans enable extraction through deregulation, tax cuts for wealth, and opposition to worker power. Cultural differences hide economic alignment.

We need alternatives. People need to understand that comprehensive solutions exist, that worker ownership is viable, that universal services can be funded without burdening workers, that climate change can be addressed by eliminating manufactured waste, and that both problems (policy math and corruption) must be solved together.

Future Evolution

This could evolve into political party, electoral organization, or movement, but that’s not the current purpose. Right now, the goal is to prove these alternatives are viable and build public awareness. Political organization comes after people understand the alternatives exist.

First, education. Then, organization. Then, power.

Contact & Feedback

This is an educational project. We’re not currently seeking volunteers or donations. We’re not organizing political activity. We’re building public understanding.

If you have feedback on the analysis or want to suggest improvements to the policy framework, we welcome substantive engagement with the ideas.
