So, this is much more softened, assuming that I'm just US president and I'm not trying to build something like Yugoslavia, but seeking for re-election. I'm sorry if I write something what US allready have, or something, I'm from Europe ^^

1) Progresive taxtation.
2) Universal health care based on solidarity and compulsory health insurance (you will pay part of your earnings, for example 5%, to federal owned insurance company /or to private company where you can have different terms/ and if you need it /you need new heart, but not new silicon breasts/, you will be treated in any hospital or by every doctor in US without payments /expcet private company, you can have different terms here/).
3) Compulsory social insurance (same system as in health, you put money in, and state give them to those who need them in form of pensions, social payments etc.).
4) Establish National Bank of America and ad it to Constitution.
5) Held referendum on statehood of D.C., Guam, Portorico, US Virgin Isles and other US territories.
6) Campaign finance reform, hold referenda on questions: "Would you prefere First-past-the-post, Proportional, or Mixed voting into House of Representatives?" and "Should US abollish Electoral college?" (of course with campaign explaining what it is)
7) Put more money to schools, discourage people from sending children to private schools, make new schools plans and norms, which get US childrens to level of those in Eastern Europe, or hopefully in Asia.
8 ) Nationalize all universities and provide free education.
9) Nationalize all resources in US.
10) Pull out all US soldiers from foreign coutries (except those who ask for them and are ready to pay for their presence).
11) End all afirmative action programes.
12) Define that marriage is between man and women, istitute civil union which is between two people (and let state legislatures to decide what is two peoples) and which will have less rights than marriage (so no adoptions for homosexuals, but you can visit your partner in hospital).
13) Put more funds into emergency services like police or firefighters.
14) Work with UN to make world a better place, try to have good relations with other coutries.
15) Close Guantanamo and return it to Cuba.
16) End embargo on Cuba and all economic ebargos (not on weapons, or radioactive materials etc.) on other states.
17) Protect US economy (what US can produce, US will produce, no outsorcing).
18) Grant amnesty to illegal imigrants who are allready in US, but strenght anti-imigration laws.
19) Expand welfare programs.
20) Large public works program to reduce unemployment.
21) Institute ID cards, they are usefull.

What you think? Did you like it, or not? Can I, as US president, pass it through Congress and get re-elected?

1. The USA already has that.
2. Eh, universal single payer is better, imo.
3. Sure.
4. Hmm, sure. Skeptical, though.
5. Alright.
6. Definitely!
7. YES!
8. Hmm, disagree. Make it free, but not necessary to nationalize it.
9. Disagree. I like a mixed economy. Some resources may need to be nationalized, but not all of them.
10. Yes!
11. I'm still on the fence on this one. Racism hasn't been eliminated entirely, but "reverse racism" doesn't work well either.
12. No. Absolutely not.
13. Sure.
14. Alright.
15. Good.
16. Definitely!
17. Disagree. Protectionism generally doesn't end well.
18. Eh, granting amnesty is good. But being anti-immigration is bad. We need to reform immigration to make it easier and more efficient.

Doesn't that already exist?

1. Already have it, but it can be improved
2. I believe that everyone should have access to healthcare, but if you can afford it you are entitled to better quality care IMO. I'm gonna have to say no on this one
3. Kinda already have it, and it's a mess. I think rather than give it to the Gov, have the Gov put it in a private bank account that ONLY YOU have access to, and pass strong regulations to ensure the banks don't move that money.
4. Strongly agree :clap:
5. Agree, with the exception of D.C.
6. idk about that one. undecided.
7. No, I'm happy being homeschooled where I don't have to deal with bullies and discouraging teachers. And more money is not the answer. The US spends more money on education than most countries, yet the problem with our broken education system is unsolved. The problem is where the money is going, and it's not going to the teachers or the classrooms.
8. Agree
9. If you mean Natural Resources, then I Strongly agree :clap:
10. Strongly agree :clap:
11. All programs? No, some form of affirmative action is necessary IMO
12. Strongly agree :clap:
13. Agree
14. Agree in part. We should try are best to keep decent relations with other countries, butI think the US should withdraw its memeber ship from the UN.
15. Strongly disagree! I don't even think Cuba wants it. If they did they would have said so a long time ago. Technically, I think we rent it from them.
16. Strongly agree :clap:
17. Needs to be more specific but overall I agree
18. Agree
19. Reform is what welfare needs, not more expansion. People need to be encouraged to build a better life for themselves, not rely on the state to take care of them.
20. Strongly agree :clap:
21. If they have tracking chips in them, than HELL NO! If not than I agree

Overall, I give your plan a B-. A good, moderate plan that just needs a few little tweeks IMHO

Overall very nice :)

Nationalization in that context meant 'taking back our nation's resources from those ebil capitalists', not 'buying crap'.

1. In my coutry we have flat tax for 1/3 of my life, so I forgot about it. But I agree with you, it needs improvements.
2. You know, you can pay for some super things (special knee joint for sportsmen), or private room, better lunches, or you can choose operater for some money, but It is unfair to reject operation or special medicine because your insurance didn't cover it.
3. The idea was that it will be federal social insurance and you will put money in and when you need them, they give you what you need (or you can reject it and put money to private company). The money can be, for example, in bank from point 4.
4. I was inspired by Chapter 6, article 98, of Constitution of the Czech Republic and influenced by conspiration theories about FED XD
5. Citizens of D.C. pay taxes but they don't have representation, so there may be two option: statehood or no taxes.
7. It's not ban on private schooling. But education is crucial and goverment must finde where is problem and solve it.
9. Yes I mean them, it was really unclear.
11. Maybe you are right, but I live in society where we don't have minority as influential as Afro-americans. We have some kind of possitive discrimination (rather secret than public) for Roma people, but they are generally seen as problematic group. And that's the reason why I vote for end of all affirmative action programs, because I believe that all people are born equal and should have same oportunity. Maybe there are still white racism in US.
14. I think UN need reform and then will work great.
15. It's a Cuban land and they want it back. After Spanish-American war, Cuba become some kind of protectorate. Then US give them independence, but only if US can establish naval base here (Guantanamo) and send US army there when they (americans) want. After Cuban revolution, Fidel Castro rejected American presence on the island, and Cuban government never took American payments for Guantanamo base. I hope you understand, because it was little hard to write for me ^^"
17. Standard protectionism - for example high tariffs on things produced in US, like cars, steel or something like that.
19. I personally advocate welfare state, where government help their citizens and they can live life without fears about losing job, or problems with rent payments.
21. No, it just replace driving licence as main identification paper.

Oh, thank you ^^

21. What would they do specifically? How would such a program work?


So, what you need to know and it isn't somewhere up?
2. I thought that it will better fit to US, and many countries have more than one insurance company.
8. You know, when you make it free, some private person or institution can make bilions for free.
9. I meant only national resources. Drilling and mining companies can'T be trusted in enviroment safety.
11. You know Americans, not me. I just put idea on table.
12. As I said, I'm conservative person in this and I think that this could fit to US.
17. But free trade is also not the best.
18. When imigrants can't live like ordinary people, or they can't assimilate, there will be problem. So my view on this issue was that those who can easily find work and have potential to assimilate would be prefered.
21. As I said, they replace driving licence as main identification paper.
In my rl coutry is compulsory to have ID card (you got one when you are 15), and when you want to buy alcohol and look young, or when the police stop you, you show it to them and they easily find who you are, how old are you and where you live. I know that you can have ID card in US, but only if you ask for it.
But it would be more usefull when everyone have the same identification (lower costs for administration for example).
I'm sorry for my horrible english grammar, I'm still learning. From this reason I use sometime translator, or just write something nonsense.

A few things come to mind immediately.

No drone strikes/"kill lists"
Stop harassing whisleblowers, give them more rights
Stop the erosion of civil liberties
Stop using spy drones/interfering in Africa
Stop interfering in African politics
Stop the threats to Iran and Syria,(including sanctions)
Egypt:
Spontaneous protests will not produce organisation, it is more likely to lead to an oppressive clampdown! There needs to be a long-term strategy to build the left towards..
-mass parties of the left
-mass trade unions
-mass left-wing publications

Europe
For a United socialist Europe under democratic working class rule.
For the unity of the working class across Europe and eventually* take power.
*'Towards a communist party of the EU'

Britain
For a voluntary federated democratic republic.

Scotland
Abstain on independence referendum, Salmond wants to keep within the union!
