Tenets of The Platform )

---

Being as the Platform is a paramilitary and political force with members of many backgrounds among its cells across Rheinland, it is more than necessary to devise and promulgate a written foundation that we can support, guiding our struggle for a brighter future for all. Rather than laws cementing brutality and exploitation as oppressively imposed by House governments and corporations, these tenets are intended to spiritually guide ever-expanding and increasingly-distant stellar communities and societies who share our ideals through circumstances which change daily, as the factors of our complex human existences are wont to do. Yet, they remain applicable from the simple acts of comradeship and resistance through the drastic actions undertaken by oppressed peoples in the name of resistance.

Those communities who have committed to co-operation alongside or membership within the Platform are held to these guiding principles. Those who violate and disregard the same may be subject to reprimand or tribunal by the assembled cells of the Platform and its member communities.

Tenets of the Platform Our Guiding Principles §1 Right to Life: We positively affirm our shared recognition of the right to life of those across the sector, and the maintenance of necessary means to prevent infringement upon that right. Those who would violate this right are subject to the right of self-defense by the defender and its necessary force and/or extended measures from Platform tribunal. §2 Justice & Equity: We positively affirm our shared obligation to uphold the means of justice among the inhabitants of Sirius, and to ensure it is rightfully and fairly supported against the diverse tribulations that are posed by authority and its false laws. §3 Mutual Aid: We positively affirm the importance of promoting a fundamental understanding of and appreciation for life across Sirius and its inhabitants, to encourage enrichment of oneself, one's comrades, and one's community unobtrusively or with the consent of others. The manifestation of this right takes many forms, be it communal support in the pursuit of happiness, the protection of others from unjust attack, or aid freely given to the vulnerable and repressed. §4 Stellar Communalism: We positively affirm our intent to establish free territories under the Bundschuh umbrella and its anarchist assembly, equipped with internal civil systems beyond the grasp of states and corporations, and with a duty to support public need above profit and power. We assert that oppressive and damaging monopolies of all kinds must be abolished. §5 Guardianship of Free Space: We positively affirm the plain truth that space, like land itself, cannot be claimed as the property of a private individual or of a so-called state. Likewise, the sanctity of one's home must not be threatened. We, the assembled cells of the Platform, have a duty to maintain and nurture and develop cooperative communities that have accepted established arrangements of mutual aid with us or representation within our assembly. §6 Eternal Emancipation: We positively affirm the moral fact that slavery, involuntary servitude, and all forms of employment racketeering are antithetical to the right of self-determination. These systems fundamentally establish and perpetuate, and are in turn established and perpetuated by, an oppressive class structure which irreparably tarnishes human dignity. This is the foundation of the Platform; such systems must be actively resisted and abolished.
