1. The emancipation of the masses is brought about through revolution. Revolution is brought about through the deeds of revolutionaries who aim to destroy the existing social arrangement.

2. "The revolutionary despises all doctrines and refuses to accept the mundane sciences, leaving them for future generations. He knows only one science: the science of destruction."

- Sergey Nechayev

3. The advocacy for a sectarian revolution, a revolution led only by a specific sect within the revolutionary movement, is nothing more than a play of the academic sector. Such intellectual leisures do nothing but delay the mass revolution. The immediate task of the revolutionary movement is to weld the oppressed peoples into a single unconquerable and all-destructive force, not to fantasize the future program in a manner that devalues immediate attacks on the existing arrangement.

4. "The revolutionary enters the world of the state, of the bourgeoisie, of so-called civilization, and he lives in this world only for the purpose of bringing about its speedy and total destruction. He is not a revolutionary if he has any sympathy for the existing order. He should not hesitate to destroy any position, any place, or any man within this order. He must hate everyone and everything in it with an equal hatred."

- Sergey Nechayev

5. Although the suppression of individual passions in service of calculative destruction was once a legitimate revolutionary method, this has been proven inherently unsustainable. The revolutionary must instead study ways to connect his or her own passions to the collective tendency towards revolutionary destruction. The crafts and leisures enjoyed by the person must be elevated to the status of fuel that ignites the desire to destroy.

If the revolutionary enjoys a tune sung by a member of the noble class, it is to be expropriated from the singer and reshaped into a hymn of revenge.

If the so-called revolutionary is unable to do such, he or she is not a revolutionary at all.

6. Revisionism is not part of the revolutionary movement at all. The so-called socialist states which have revived the old ways of production, whatever excuse of practicality they utter, must be hated in the same intensity as that of the dominant capitalist powers.

7. Bureaucracy is incompatible with the revolutionary movement. The revolution lives in the deeds of the oppressed peoples and the professional coordinators who are also part of that class. If the revolutionary rule of the people becomes a rule over the people, that is no longer a revolutionary movement and should be speedily destroyed.

8. The revolution is not a local task but a phenomenon of global destruction. So-called revolutionary movements confined within national struggles do not interest us. A national revolution that overthrows only the ruling class within that territory is no more revolutionary than electoral reforms.

9. Socialism is not the liberation of the working class, but the method in which that is achieved. Short term "harm reduction" through social-democratic reforms do not serve the revolutionary cause as they ensure that the oppressed class turns away from the necessity of the fundemental destruction of the social arrangement. Reformism is not a theoretical mistake, but an eternal enemy of the revolutionary.

10. The revolutionary refuses to bow down to any sacred ideal, whether that is the moral code of conduct, eternal rational truth, or even the conscience of one's mind.

The revolutionary is not a revolutionary because of a noble sense of duty, but because he/she acknowledges that revolutionary destruction is the only means in which the real needs and desires of the living body are satisfied.
