THE INDIGENOUS WORKER'S PARTY

Table of Contents: Membership • Bills Passed • Party Signature

SINCE the colonial ages, those native to our lands have been exploited. They have faced death, destruction, disease, and slavery at the hands of European settlers; they face poverty, violence, and institutional, systematic racism now. It is with this knowledge that we make our determination to fight, not just for the indigenous of Calaverde, but for all those who are oppressed. We will support and raise up those of the lower classes. For they share in our struggle, and we share in theirs. It is only through achieving harmony with the Earth and those around us that true equality and peace can be achieved, and it is only through equality and peace that our chains will finally be broken.

Platform

Party Goals
The Indigenous and Worker's Party of Calaverde is, and shall forever be, a democratic organization dedicated to the fight for libertarian socialism, environmentalism, students, workers, the impoverished, and the indigenous. The IWP calls for the creation of a free, democratic, green anarchist confederation comprised of individual, autonomous communes. We call for this to be implemented via strong direct action, including the encouragement of unions, militias, protests, and the creation of large-scale communes in both urban and rural areas in order to show the value and practicality of a true socialist society.

Social Policy
The Indigenous and Worker's Party of Calaverde stands in opposition to all laws restricting citizens' private lives because of an arbitrary sense of "morality." Thus, we call for the legalization and regulation of all drugs, unlimited abortion up until labour, no laws discriminating against those of lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender and other genders and sexual minorities (LGBT+), as well as an absolute lack of government involvement in religion, and vice versa.

Economic and Housing Policy
The Indigenous and Worker's Party stands in opposition to all laws and institutions made by the State that directly protect the interests of capitalists, including (but not limited to) copyright and patents, "trespassing" laws, laws prohibiting squatting, and state-mandated foreclosures. We stand in solidarity with the workers and unions, and as such oppose all laws that restrict the right of workers to organize and strike. We call for mass-scale unionization as part of becoming an ecological, socialist and anarchist society. The Indigenous and Worker's Party stands in opposition to all "free trade" agreements, as well as joining neoliberal, corporate organizations such as the World Bank, International Monetary Fund, and the World Trade Organization.We fully endorse a socialist economic system, meaning we support a democratic workplace and ownership of the means of production by the people at large.

Environmental Policy
The Indigenous and Worker's Party stands in support for strong environmentalism and the protection of the environment. This includes but is not limited to following the path that Costa Rica is taking by working towards a carbon-neutral nation, opposition to land development, destruction of the environment by foreign (and domestic) business interests, opposing logging of our beautiful rainforests, slash-and-burn agriculture, overfishing of our beautiful seas - the Indigenous and Workers' Party does not oppose subsistence fishing done by the indigenous for thousands of years, but opposes the overfishing perpetuated by corporations - and building hydroelectric dams that harm the environment and the indigenous people. The Indigenous and Worker's Party also opposes massive, environmentally destructive mining and drilling of our natural resources, which we believe should remain as it has for millennia: part of the Earth.

Healthcare Policy
The Indigenous and Workers' Party of Calaverde stands in support of a universal healthcare system free at the point of use and devoid any profit whatsoever. We believe the right to life, regardless of financial, legal, or social status, should be an inalienable one; and there is no right to life without healthcare.

Education Policy
The Indigenous and Worker's Party supports a comprehensive and democratic educational system free of charge, including optional higher education.

The Indigenous and Worker's Party henceforth adopts this Platform in the interest, and for the protection of,
The Indigenous, the Students, the Workers, and the Impoverished of Calaverde, and shall defend it, and its tenets.

Man, everyone is forming their own party these days. Anyway, good luck.

Okay, what system should we use for party structuring? I recommend we use my failed proposal from the WA, in order to show we use direct democracy as dissatisfaction with the 'representative' 'democracy' used by the WA in party structuring was one of the main reasons were split from the WA. Additionally, should we support or oppose the government? I recommend we oppose the government, as the WA's reformist support of the government, while abandoning its principles is also one of the main reasons we split. Additionally, I recommend, once we have enough members, create our own shadow cabinet.

Splitters!

Well, since you're a left wing break away from the already far-left WA, I can't say I support you. But I wish you good luck in your endeavours!

I'm advocating for joining the opposition, but not supporting the right-wing opposition. This party is to attack the 'left-wing' government from the left, in order to truly represent the people.

Need to spice up the leftist politics a bit.

What was the system you advocated?

IDK. I'm split between Opposition or neutrality. They do have a lot of things we would agree with….

Far-left, eh? Well, I'm opposed to your ebul communism, but wish you all the best of luck nonetheless.

by **Collatis** » Mon Apr 13, 2015 5:18 pm

So what form of Socialism do you guys advocate? I was under the impression that it was democratic anarcho-communism.

This.

We can still support bills that the Government introduced if we agree with them (the healthcare bill for example). But we need to oppose the mix of social liberalism and social democracy and advocate for Socialism.

If it makes you feel any better, we're not part of the right-wing opposition coalition either. They're the main opposition, we're just the other opposition.

The question remains is how many Oppositions are there?

I think our party should focus on direct action and the labor movement. We should only support the most radical of reformism.

Though Vienna isn't a government employee, he will be looking into it as a citizen.
