Both groups proffer their own individual Weltanschauung. From their

clear that the urgency of the tasks facing us require us to ditch a lot of
old baggage (that for too long was needlessly carried anyway) and appeal
beyond the traditional confines of Marxist circles. That said, I believe
that without a Marxist basis, our analytical and political work is unlikely
to succeed (to put it mildly). Hence the list's primary orientation.
