Description[?]:
| We should implement these changes to enlarge the public sector and to divide the nation values to the common good. No need in letting money transfer among heavy-loaded capitalists and the poor never see a penny of them. This way the state will handle the division to the public interest. This is a restoration program to claim the socialist regulation that the parliament can agree. Let us restore the great socialist republic. We would like to nationalise all industries and make them pay 40% of their surplus to the common good. The rest they can invest as the company chooses. The money taxed will be used to uphold the best social system in Terra. We propose to turn over housing to the public so that the state take care of all housing. This will avoid putting a human need into the capitalistic sphere of economical gain an unethic trading. We should stop unequality in our health care systems and spend some money on developing a system where every single citizen can get aid when needed not taking in account whether they are poor or rich. The money spend on controlling and regulating private clinics should be used to serve the general public. Furthermore extra spendings should be put in the health care sector to fund extra clinics, better service and better health in hobrazia. |

| Random quote: "A democracy that does not allow limits is not a democracy. Just as a limitless freedom is not freedom, but prevarication. Indeed, any theory of freedom worthy of this name is first of all a limit theory. If we extend the unlimited tolerance even to those who are intolerant, if we are not willing to defend a tolerant society against the attacks of the intolerants, then the tolerants will be destroyed and the tolerance with them! Because, I ask to myself and ask you, given a certain system that we call democratic, which is today the best possible system to allow everyone to live freely and to be able to express their own thoughts, how can the same system admit attacks against its integrity? How can a system refuse the principle of the self-preservation? For this reason, to suppress the apologetics of thalerrism, it's for this reason that the exaltation of exegetes, principles, facts or methods of Thallerism and its anti-democratic aims does not constitute a violation of the freedom of manifestation of thought, but, on the contrary, the celebration of that freedom. The protection of the first premise on which a modern democratic system is based. And this premise must be safeguarded also and above all against itself and its abuses." ~ Malik Astori, Leadership of Liberty and Progress (Istalia) |
