In the 2019 Federal Election All Out to Build the New!
- For a New Direction in the
Economy, Stop Paying the Rich! The old arrangements on which the economy and political institutions are supposed to function are crisis-ridden. Crises have emerged on every front. The reason for this is the clash between the modern social conditions and an obsolete authority that wants to control everything for narrow private gain. The old authority and its institutions refuse to allow a new authority to come into being consistent with the needs of the times. The modern social conditions have created a human productive force of immense capacity and potential. Of necessity, this human productive force must control the fruits of its production so that the social conditions are brought under its control and official policies conform to its needs. In opposition to this historic necessity to build the New, the financial oligarchy has seized control of the state and its institutions to ensure society is not provided with a modern aim to meet the needs of its members and a new authority under their control. The financial oligarchy uses the crisis-ridden old institutions and the social wealth it has seized from the working people to obstruct anything that stands in the way of its private interests.
The conditions of a socialized economy and humanity require that working people control their means of production and distribution for the good of all, to meet and guarantee their economic, social and political rights and well-being. In opposition to this historic necessity stands a financial oligarchy in control of the socialized economy and political institutions, and obsessed with using them for its private sectional interests. Instead of upholding social responsibility towards all members of society, the ruling authorities throughout Canada continue to deprive the people of their economic, political and social rights. The neo-liberal, anti-social and anti-national offensive has resulted in gross economic inequality and the denial of basic needs to thousands of Canadians. The financial oligarchy has used its authority to privatize social works so as to seize enterprise and interest profit for its narrow interests. War and policing have become means to enrich the few through the production of more weapons and, with the employment of mercenaries on every front, the ruling elite foment wars and crime instead of using the enormous productive capacity of modern production to resolve problems in the social and natural conditions. Oppose Canada's Integration into U.S. Homeland
Security!

The modern conditions of a
completely socialized economy on
which all people rely for their existence cry out for a new
authority consistent with those conditions. They cry out for new
arrangements that conform to this reality. A modern authority
would recognize and guarantee the economic, social and political
rights of the people, which are rights they possess by virtue of
being human.
The modern conditions have
given rise to a great opportunity
for the advance of international relations amongst all humanity
based on mutual benefit, development and friendship. Successive
governments in authority have deprived Canada of this opening for
modern international relations. Instead, they have surrendered
Canada's sovereignty to U.S. Homeland Security and submerged the
country into what the U.S. authorities call their "indispensable"
nation privileges and hegemony worldwide, allowing the financial
oligarchy to profit from the wars and destruction the
"indispensable" U.S. empire has unleashed.
Speaking out on the
conditions of work and life and discussing
solutions to the problems people face is a new arrangement.
Speaking out in your own voice cuts through the attempts of the
cartel parties to make working people passive observers to the
electoral shenanigans and obsolete system that brings elites to
power to "represent" the people, speak in their name and rule
over them.
