Progressive Taxation
Tax wealth and capital progressively while eliminating worker taxes. Fund universal services without raising the burden on workers.
Platforms
Breaking Monopolies
Monopolies eliminate competition, extract rents, capture regulators, and destroy local economies. Progressive corporate taxation and active anti-trust enforcement break monopoly power.
Breaking Corruption
Corporate capture of government must be eliminated. Criminal prosecution, permanent revolving door bans, radical transparency, and ending consultant grift.
Worker Cooperatives
Worker ownership beats employment. Cooperatives build equity, respond to market discipline, and benefit from automation. Government support creates viable alternatives to capitalist employment.
Government Procurement Revolution
Redirect $600+ billion in annual government contracts from extractive corporations to worker cooperatives. Transform the economy without additional spending.
Beyond Employment
The employment relationship exists to enable extraction. Eliminate the middleman by directly connecting people who need things with people who can provide them.
Healthcare for All
Single-payer healthcare eliminates all premiums, co-pays, and deductibles. Direct government provision, not subsidized private insurance.
Public Housing
Direct public construction of mixed-income housing. Vienna model proves this works at scale. End speculation and rent extraction.
Education & Childcare
Universal pre-K from age 0 to 5, free public university and trade schools, student debt cancellation, and community-based cooperative childcare.
Climate & Unnecessary Consumption
Climate change is driven by manufactured consumption that capitalism requires for growth. Attack the root cause by ending planned obsolescence and eliminating waste.
Labor Power Restoration
Card check union recognition, sectoral bargaining, mandatory profit sharing, and worker board representation. Restore power to workers.
Economic Security
Universal basic services (housing, healthcare, food, education, utilities, transit) plus universal basic income. Eliminate survival desperation.
Democratic Reform
Public campaign financing, end gerrymandering, automatic voter registration, and participatory budgeting. Make democracy actually democratic.
Public Ownership
Public utilities (power, broadband, water), public transit, and public banking. Essential infrastructure shouldn't be profit centers.
Democratic Socialist Governance
Kill consultant class, direct public action, transparency and speed, open source government IT, community control, and cooperative procurement.
