L’associazione Utopia rossa considera suo fondamento politico il principio secondo cui il fine non giustifica i mezzi, ma nei mezzi si deve riflettere l’essenza del fine. Non ha programmi politici, come del resto non ne aveva la Prima internazionale. Nonostante le più diverse provenienze ideologiche dei suoi sostenitori, essa ritiene che l’anticapitalismo dilagato dopo l’inizio dell’Antirivoluzione russa (dicembre 1917) sia stato motivato fondamentalmente da idee precapitalistiche, cioè retrograde, e non da progetti di civiltà in grado di superare il capitalismo sviluppando ulteriormente i suoi modelli di democrazia. Ciò spiega anche il prevalere, nella storia della cosiddetta «sinistra», di simpatie per i regimi dittatoriali di ogni specie e colore. Utopia rossa si batte contro l’ulteriore diffusione di ideologie precapitalistiche vecchie e nuove (in campo politico, culturale, ecologico, religioso ecc.), come parte della sua battaglia per il superamento del capitalismo, se si vuole salvare la vita sulla Terra con la sua umanità. In questo senso la sua utopia continua ad essere rossa.
The Red Utopia association considers its political foundation to be the principle that the end does not justify the means, but that the means must reflect the essence of the end. It has no political program, just as the First International did not. Despite the diverse ideological backgrounds of its supporters, it believes that the anti-capitalism that spread after the start of the Russian Anti-Revolution (December 1917) was fundamentally motivated by pre-capitalist – that is, retrograde – ideas, and not by civilizational projects capable of overcoming capitalism and of further developing its democratic models. This also explains the prevalence, throughout the history of the so-called «left», of sympathies for dictatorial regimes of all kinds and colors. Red Utopia fights against the further spread of old and new pre-capitalist ideologies (in the political, cultural, ecological, religious, and other fields) as part of its battle to overcome capitalism, if life on Earth, including its humanity, is to be saved. In this sense, its utopia remains red.
a) The end does not justify the means, but the means which we use must reflect the essence of the end.
b) Support for the struggle of all peoples against imperialism and/or for their self determination, independently of their political leaderships.
c) For the autonomy and total independence from the political projects of capitalism.
d) The unity of the workers of the world - intellectual and physical workers, without ideological discrimination of any kind (apart from the basics of anti-capitalism, anti-imperialism and of socialism).

g) For a Red Utopist, cultural work and artistic creation in particular, represent the noblest revolutionary attempt to fight against fear and death. Each creation is an act of love for life, and at the same time a proposal for humanization.

FOR THE FIFTH INTERNATIONAL OF THE MOVEMENTS
The political association Red Utopia believes that for the construction of the Fifth International it would be beneficial to make use of the cultural patrimony it has acquired during years of formulating theoretical ideas and accumulating practical experience. In light of this heritage, the Fifth should be unitarian, totally open to all the workers of the world - intellectual and physical workers - and without discriminating ideologies (apart from the basics of anti-capitalism, anti-imperialism and of socialism).
We also propose that the Fifth International be organized on the foundation of the principles expressed succinctly in the following very simple sentences (with indications in brackets of the Internationals that are the historical references for the particular points):
a) The end does not justify the means, but the means which we use must reflect the essence of the end. [Priority of ethics (Guevara) and the scientific truth above every other consideration]
b) Support for the struggle of all peoples against imperialism and/or for their self determination, independently of their political leaderships. [Beginning of the Third International]
c) For the autonomy and total independence from the political projects of capitalism. [The Left of Zimmerwald from the Second International]
d) The unity of the workers of the world - intellectual and physical workers, without ideological discrimination of any kind (apart from the basics of anti-capitalism, anti-imperialism and of socialism). [First International]
e) Fight against political bureaucracies, for direct and councils democracy. [Anti-authoritarian International of Saint-Imier and the Fourth International]
f) Save all life on the Planet, save humanity. [Real new historical task of the Fifth]
g) For a Red Utopist, cultural work and artistic creation in particular, represent the noblest revolutionary attempt to fight against fear and death. Each creation is an act of love for life, and at the same time a proposal for humanization.
