The Socialist Manifesto: A guide to the New World Economy
1. All are created equal.
2. Property and business rights are to be respected on the condition that the workers/employees are treated fairly. Fairness is to be determined by the Socialist government.
3. The Socialist government must remain in power to ensure the emancipation and rights of the working classes.
4. The representatives of the people who sit within a Socialist government must be elected through secret ballot.
5. Managers are to be elected by the workers, managers are not the same as the owners.
6. The rights of small businesses and their growth are to be protected, the position of a business in relation to its market must be planned by the government to prevent RUINOUS competition.
7. The right to make a profit is protected as long as the transaction was fair and balanced. Transaction disputes are to be mediated by the government.
9. The countries food supplies are not to be exported if the safety of the people is in jeopardy. Food prices are to be fixed by the government.
10. The family is to be held sacrosanct. The family must never be exploited.
11. The Economy must serve the people, not the other way round.
12. All narcotics of any kind must be destroyed as well as cigarettes, tobacco products and alcohol. The health of the people must never be in jeopardy
13. The environment must be respected. A worker cannot be expected to live in an environment that is deleterious to his health.
14. Stress is a sign that the worker needs rest.
15. Trade Unions are the voice of the workers, listen to them and cherish them.
16. Trade Unions must be kept from obtaining too much power. A powerful Trade Union could destroy the very state that sustains the workers as a whole.
17. No matter the state of the Economy, the happyness of the socialist nation is of primary concern.
18. War is regrettable but sometimes necessary.
19. Never confuse Socialism and Communism.
20. Health care, education in all forms and legal protection must be free and widely available to all.
21. Corruption is to be destroyed, it is a cancer in the Socialist body.
22. Never trust capitalists fully.
Notice how the Socialist Manifesto protects property rights and business interests and the right to make a profit. We believe that the rights of the workers are violated if they have not the right to manage their own economic destinies.
(More to be added on discussion.)
