I would assume it would be written with the intent of building up an organization around it.
Are you going to say that our present organizations are perfect, and that we don't need to develop them any further?
Has any effective organization ever began with an individual publishing a manifesto?
If your org is wrong on an issue, you are obligated to critique them. Not doing so is one of the types of liberalism. But I wouldn’t call such a critique a manifesto. It would be an essay. It would have a relatively narrow scope on whatever issue you disagree on.
If you disagree with everything your org is doing, then just leave it.
i think the point here is that a manifesto or a document should come out of collective practice within an organisation, not via mixing together labels from the ideology store
I am personally slapping on barcodes at the ideology store to pass off my communes as libertarian homesteads.
(this is actually a very good way to get free discounts on things in stores, the receipt line items are too byzantine to be efficiently checked)
