Current Events > How many of these political positions do you agree with?

(+) Yeah! (+)

• Workplaces should be at least partially (50%) owned collectively by the workers, and workers should elect their managers, and so on. This would be enforced in all workplaces above certain size.
• High Incomes will be taxed, even going as far as a 100% tax rate for above certain income.
• Free and universal access to healthcare will be guaranteed, not just for citizens but for everyone in the country, because we are all humans and it is the right thing to do.
• The democratic State shall make the construction of public housing a priority, and this public housing will be leased to those who need it for free. The rental of flats or residences shall be made illegal, with all flats or residences requiring to be lived in by the owner or leasee, and all empty and unused flats or residences subject to socialization by the People through the democratic State.
• The political organization of the country will go through a radical transformation in order to eliminate harmful practices. An independent comission will be in charge of redrawing electoral districts. A new chamber of Congress will house representatives from the Unions of the Nation, States should be split or merged as necessary to allow for a more equitative upper-house or Senate, and Congress as a whole, as elected representatives of the people, would be empowered to be above the Supreme Court and President. Under this scheme, members of the Supreme Court will be elected through a vote of all three chambers of Congress and have term limits, and the President likewise will be elected through a vote of all three chambers of Congress and be able to be removed through a simple majority vote of no-confidence.
• No tolerance for the intolerant. Those who engage in hate speech, support hate or hateful ideologies, and discriminate other people on the basis of their ethnicity or sexual identity, or anything else, will be deplatformed and required to go through mandatory reeducation. Political parties or organizations which spouse such views will be banned outright.
• All groups who have been historically victimized, opressed, or discriminated against will receive restitution or reparation, which might take many forms. This includes decolonization, in which indigenous groups who were stripped of their land by the government in the past will have the option to have those lands restored and be offered protection and autonomous self-governance.
• The state will be completely separated from religion, and in fact, the state will effectively act as if it itself was atheist, while respecting the personal and private religion of individuals.
• Personal gun ownership will be curtailed, and only 'well regulated militias' should be allowed to have guns. However, many more organizations, such as Unions, will be able to employ 'well regulated militias'. These militias will also be required to have horizontal structures as detailed in the first point.

Well, CE?

I like how you put this with a bunch of leftist stuff as if it was the leftist position.

High taxes for the needlessly rich for sure, but 100%?

For example if you earn above, IDK, 200k or something, everything above those 200k would be taxed 100%. But you still have the bulk of those 200k.

I only agree with free healthcare

I am opposed to all 9 of those. If you support all 9 of them, then you are what I consider to be a liberal extremist, and you should probably be in jail or at least on a watch list.

6/9. I'm partially ok with the first one except the being able to choose their own manager. I know if it were up to me I'd vote for the person most likely to let me get away with being lazy and I'm willing to bet more people are at least adjacent to that opinion and that's not really good for the bottom line of the business.

You would actually have an ownership stake in the business, though, so the workers would have incentive to actually do good work. If the business does better you would actually do better and recieve more money.

Sure, I'm sure some people would be lazy, but this would better motivate people than the current shitty system where owners get the majority of the profit, and the workers get peanuts.

through mandatory reeducation

I feel like alot of these start off sounding great and then go too far by the end of their description. Even still, I agree with 4 or 5 of them.

I'm not a communist so per automation I disagree with nearly all of this. Number 8 is the only one I agree with, though I could get aboard with 3 if it's expressed in a less dumb teenage communist and extremist way.

Whats wrong with available housing and separation of church/state? Id have thought those would be just as easy to get behind.

• Not entirely sure what this entails, sounds problematic and confusing.
• Incomes sure. No wealth taxes.
• Legal citizens only with a state issued health card system to prove it. Health cards will need to be up to date similar to Canada's with photo ID
• Government should have a taxpayer program to build lower cost houses without needing to worry about red tape. Stay out of it beyond that.
• That sounds like an unnecessary pain in the ass.
• Fuck no
• No.
• Probably the only thing in this list I agree with. Seems too easy to fuck up though.
• No.

Only read the 1st one but it sounds like some commie shit lol
