Party"
+++
Policies:
1. billionaires get the guillotine. no billionaire has ever earned
their wealth. they stole it from people who made it for them.
billionaires can either hand over every single cent of their wealth
(not income -- wealth) more than \$999,999,999.99 voluntarily to the
people or they have it all of it taken forcibly (along with their
heads) from them.
2. evading or attempting to evade rule 1 always invokes the maximum
penalty.
3. 100% inheritance tax above \$1,000,000
4. housing is a human right, not a property right. all housing property
that is not lived in by its owner must be used for social housing.
5. climate change is killing the planet. all spare productive capacity
of society should be marshalled immediately to preventing it or
ameliorating its impacts on the most vulnerable.
6. indigenous ownership of all non-freehold land is a requirement of
correct land management practices.
7. every person has a human right to working for a living wage, if they
want to work.a living wage is the minimum wage. the private
ownership of public utilities is forbidden. access to housing,
water, and energy cannot be dictated by only the ability to pay for
such essentials.
8. it is universally recognised that capitalism is the cause of waste
in society. capitalism has caused climate change, and is therefore
an unmitigated evil, as it is a species endangering ideology that
knows no moral bounds.
9. people have the right to political representation both as
individuals, and as social classes (n.b.: ethnicity is not a social
class). political representation doesn't just mean legislative or
judicial systems; but also social policy and workplace systems.
workplaces are run for the benefit of society, its workers, and its
investors, in that (decreasing) order of priority.
10. all borders are open. border inspections are only required to catch
criminals (billionaires, capitalists, nazis) ... but crossing a
border simply to live or to trade in legal goods on the other side
of the border is never to be policed.
