Notes from Below is a publication that is committed to socialism, by which we mean the self-emancipation of the working class from capitalism and the state. To this end we use the method of workers’ inquiry We want to support more in-depth workers' inquiries by funding travel, interviews and expenses. We are looking to produce a series of smaller issues into specific sectors or areas, in order to facilitate organising within them.We draw our methods and theory from the class composition tradition, which seeks to understand and change the world from the worker’s point of view. We want to ground revolutionary politics in the perspective of the working class, help circulate and develop struggles, and build workers’ confidence to take action by and for themselves.
