Description[?]:
| RETURNING Unity and purpose to the working class. No longer shall citizens need sell their labor to the owners of an industry, becoming wage slaves to the booming profits of a Private Citizen. All who work within a business, all who work within a factory, all who work upon a farm shall cooperate in the administrative decisions and share in the collective profits of such enterprise. NO LONGER Shall a select few profit enormously, without direction or influence upon the re-investment of this vast wealth. Investment shall be determined by the working peoples, those who produce, the 99%, and the future determined by them. GLORY TO THE MASSES Glory to Al'Badara! |
Proposals
Article 1
Proposal[?] to change Government policy on industry and subsidies to industrial operations.
Old value:: The government acts as an investor of last resort, by nationalizing failing industries that provide vital goods or services.
Current: Certain industries are owned by the state, all others are under private ownership.
Proposed: The state owns the commanding heights of the economy and all major industries, but private ownership is allowed in the minor industries.

| Message | The future shall be determined by the government, which invariably fails to produce long-term growth. What is there to fear? The tyranny of prosperity? The rich make money; this money drives consumption, job growth, production. And while it may seem that the wealthy are pillaging the labour of the less well-off, no, the workers will ultimately benefit from a free market too. |
