Arminius became convinced by his teenage years of the necessity of the abolition of all forms of minority political, social or economic rule and that the conscious, voluntary participation of the people is the only way to a just, truly free society of abundance for all. He has participated in various workplace actions as well as the defense of human rights both in the West and the anti-socialist erstwhile ‘Eastern Bloc’. He regards all who are anti-capitalist and anti-vanguardist as comrades (if sometimes uneasily). He has adhered to the  Socialist Labor Party of America for nearly four decades.
