We have faith in human perception and intelligence rather than in mechanisms, no matter how sophisticated. We write under the banner of Humane Socialism.

We aim for constant improvement, experimentation, and ever-greater freedom and social responsibility. We are open, but not to subversion or misuse. We are no-one’s Trojan Horse.
