Organization is something the working class does to itself, rather than something that is done to it. To that end, we have regular meetings to facilitate collective deliberation and decision making. Substantive democracy is what separates left-wing organizing from the bourgeois party organs that mimic the rituals of democracy but only as a pure form without content. In our meetings, a member showing up for the first time may suggest ideas as readily as long-standing members. We are open to a great variety of strategies and tactics as long as they further the defeat of capitalism and liberation of all. To that end, we have embraced a wide variety of tactics from the decommodification of food via gardening to building power through an attempt at tenant unionization. All of these efforts have in common that they either fight against or compete with capitalist methods of controlling capitalism's dispossessed subjects.

The North Bay Revolutionary Leftists has never been a sectarian organization, nor do we require our partner organizations to formally share our beliefs about capitalism or about its replacement. We believe that we further our cause best through solidarity work with organizations like Palestine Solidarity Nipissing, Endaayaan Awejaa, and the 2-Spirit & Trans Community March which share many of our values even if their organizational form is not committed to the defeat of capitalism. While our revolutionary and anti-capitalist analysis may inform our evaluation of other organizations' potential, it does not prevent us from working together with other groups when there are suitable conditions for collaboration. Solidarity has already been part of how we grow, it has improved our analysis, it has made us stronger, and it has given us concrete political goals to strive for during a moment where the imperialist-colonial capitalist system has appeared more entrenched than ever.
