Greetings, comrades!
I'd like to tell you all about an organisation I'm starting. We call ourselves the "Orphs". Orphs has a little history which somewhat relates to the goal(s) of this organisation. In short, we are warriors who fight for freedom, justice, equality, individuality, truth, and logic. By warriors, we don't mean violent people; we are warriors who prefer peace, but don't limit ourselves to it. It has been said that the pen is mightier than the sword. This organisation would exist to provide a discussion ground for people who agree with these ideals, and for them to embark on projects to promote these ideals. We do not currently have a web site, or any web presence other than the #Orphs IRC channel on FreeNode. We would like to get the manifesto written before we really start doing stuff. We want to establish regional groups/chapters where Orphs can meet and talk and organise projects in person.
This organisation won't be open to all. Once we are somewhat established, we will have a system where you must fill out an application and be approved before you are part of the organisation. The whole point of this application would be to keep out those who don't agree with Orph ideals.
One big thing we want to do is to make a database of our members' skills and access so that people who would like to start a project can look through to see who they should talk to. Some projects we have in mind so far would be stuff like running reconnaissance operations on organisations that threaten Orph ideals (mostly the first 5,) providing a library of educational material for our members, and others, starting and training militias ...hold on, Fatherland Security is at the door.... Lately I've had an idea to start a socialist anarchist work force who make good products, and pay fair, equal wages to it's workers, and is democratically controlled by its workers... I'll probably post more about this idea later.
If you would like to help, or if you have any questions or comments, please post here, or join us in the IRC channel (#orphs on irc.freenode.net .)
