Description[?]:
| Preamble The Badaran people, for decades suffering under the might of Capital, enslaved and subjugated by its flow, have now henceforth broken free of their shackles through their own determination and might. They have built a new society for themselves, to the shock and wonder of all the peoples of Terra. They have struck down the Capitalists and their State, and have replaced it with their own. They have created Socialism, and they strive for Communism. Their power is undeniable, as is their wisdom and courage. The New Society they have built will last a thousand years and more. This document is a monument to their triumph. Chapter One - The Rights Of The People 1. The People's Republic Of Badara is a Socialist State, controlled by and operated in the interest of the Working Classes against the Capitalist Class. Hence; a. All privately controlled Capital is contraband. Anyone found in possession of unauthorised Capital is to be arrested and the Capital returned to the National People's Congress' Vaults. b. All Capitalist parties and forces are to be suppressed by the state, in order to prevent counter revolutionary activity and a return to Capitalism. c. All workers are to be given remuneration equal to the value of the work they put in, hence ending the exploitation of man by man. This is to be achieved via labour vouchers. d. The State is to be organised and controlled by the whole mass of the Working Classes via democracy, consensus and delegation. 2. The People's Republic Of Badara guarantees the following Rights to all its citizens; a. The Right to peacefully assemble. b. The Right to freedom of thought and expression; unless such expression incites violence against the Working Class. c. The Right to a fair trial. d. The Right not to be tortured of mistreated by government forces. e. The Right to bear arms. f. The Right for everyone, bar criminals, to participate in politics, as a delegate and as an elector. g. The Right not to be a chattel slave or a wage slave. h. The Right to the essentials in life; water, food, shelter and medical treatment. i. The Right to employment. In the words of Leonid, 'He who does not work, shall not eat'. Chapter Two - Government Of The People's Republic Of Badara 3.
