FARMING PROPOSAL BILL
Part of the DLVP plans are to encourage a "back to the land" movement. The dangers of capitalism lie in not in the accumulation of wealth per se, but in the exploitation of men. Namely, the ownership of the means of production. While Metzists and Communists wish to destroy private ownership to end exploitation, we wish to expand it.

People are likely to work harder and with greater commitment if they themselves possess the land on which they labour, which in turn will benefit them and their families as workers will be able to provide for themselves and their household. It is the very basic idea that when men have the opportunity to possess property and work on it, thus eliminating the alienation they may feel toward wage work.

To encourage the selling to land, the purchasing of equipment for farming, achieving the education to become successful smallholders, the DLVP and the State will make available grants and compensation schemes to encourage small farms and agricultural growth. This will be funded by keeping the current agriculture funding as is although the current policy is one of local government implementing plans.

Soon, workers who wish to see a change in their lives, who feel exploited and unappreciated, will be able to go back to the soil and contribute. They will see the very ground that they manipulate change and grow their livelihoods. They will see the animals they tend grow fat and provide through their own hard work and perseverance.

No longer will they be exploited by greedy CEOs and transnational corporations. They will be truly free for ownership is democracy at its most basic.
