The Baloch from all sphere of life must convened to establish a "center without walls" for transformative politics that focuses on the conditions of Baloch working and poor people.
Recognizing contributions from diverse tendencies within Baloch communities --including socialism, revolutionary nationalism and radicalism --we are united in opposition to all forms of oppression, including class exploitation, racism against Baloch peoples, patriarchy, homophobia, anti-immigration prejudice and imperialism from our neighbours.
We must arrange gathering of different partiesâ?T organizations and individuals to sort out our differences. From there we must identify proposals for action and establishing paths forward.
The Baloch unity does not intend to replace or displace existing organizations, parties or campaigns but will contribute in what ever way we can to mobilizing unaffiliated individuals, as well as organizations, around common concerns.
- We recognize the diverse historical tendencies in the Baloch radical tradition including revolutionary nationalism, and socialism.
- The technological revolution and capitalist globalization have changed the economy, labour force and class formations that need to inform our analysis and strategies. The increased class polarization created by these developments demands that we, as Baloch radicals, ally ourselves with the most oppressed sectors of our communities and society.
- Gender and sexuality can no longer be viewed solely as personal issues but must be a basic part of our analyses, politics and struggles.
- We reject racial and economical racism, Baloch patriarchy and Baloch capitalism as solutions to problems facing Baloch people.
- We must see the struggle at home and global terms.
- We need to meet people where they are, taking seriously identity politics and single issue reform groups, at the same time that we push for a larger vision that links these struggles.
- We must be democratic and inclusive in our dealings with one another, making room for constructive criticism and honest dissent within our ranks. There must be open venues for civil and comradely debates to occur.
- Our discussions should be informed not only by a critique of what now exists, but by serious efforts to forge a creative vision of a new society.
- We cannot limit ourselves to electoral politics--we must identify multiple sites of struggles.
- We must overcome divisions within the Baloch radical forces, such as those of generation, region, and occupation. We must forge a common language that is accessible and relevant.
- Baloch radicals must build a national congress of radical forces in the Baloch community to strengthen radicalism as the legitimate voice of Baloch working and poor people, and to build organized resistance.
