- Panfuturism "wants to be a scientific system which is attained by its being a system universal and synthetic."[5]
- The goal of Panfuturism is to "abolish all 'isms' which is attained by neutralizing them...by regarding every single case as a private problem of the polyproblematic organism of art."[5]
- Panfuturism is a "proletarian system of art."[5]
- Panfuturism is an "organizational art."[5]
- Panfuturism "is the whole art."[5]
- Panfuturism "is at once Futurism, Cubism, Expressionism and Dadaism."[5]
