Bill: The Workers' State
Details
Submitted by[?]: Hizb al-'Amal al-Thawriy
Status[?]: defeated
Votes: This is an ordinary bill. It requires more yes votes than no votes. This bill will not pass any sooner than the deadline.
Voting deadline: November 4470
Description[?]:
| We, Hizb Al-'Amal Al-Thawriy, on behalf of the Kafuri working class demand an end to the exploitation of labour and the recognition in law of the basic human rights which the ruling class has for so long denied us. We demand an economy and a society run for the benefit of all. A state where democratic control of the means of production is extended to those who generate prosperity and economic growth, the working classes, and a state where essential services are run for and accountable to citizens, not shareholders. And we demand the right to organise and withdraw our labour without oppressive bourgeois reprisals. |
