Manifesto

Young Socialists Manifesto

We are democratic socialists. We want to replace the capitalist system with a democratic socialist society.

  1. We believe that human dignity must be the source of law and social relations. No one can be discriminated against on the basis of skin colour, sex, nationality, age, disability, social origins and sexual orientation.
  2. We support the mixed economy model of multiple kinds of property. We oppose favouring the private sector. We support social ownership of the means of production, which allows the most just distribution of both the burdens and fruits of labour. We opt for the democratisation of economic life by extending mechanisms of workers' participation in management of enterprises. We want the state to play an important role in economy. Tax progression should be increased. The privatization of state property must not be continued. The state should regain control over the key sectors of economy (banking, the power industry, insurances).
  3. Having a job is a value and a human right, not a commodity or a privilege. The right to work is universal and its execution should be guaranteed by the state. Those who are not to blame for being unemployed should have a right to guaranteed minimum income. We support the efforts to increase minimum wage, ultimately at least to the level of 68% of the average wage.
  4. We want to live in a civil society. Therefore we opt for extending statutory instruments which may help citizens in public activity, enabling them to express their views and interests more easily in the public sphere. School plays an enormous role in shaping of the civic attitudes. We believe that civic education must last the whole teaching period.
  5. We demand free education in public schools on all educational levels. Introduction of payment for full-time studies is a threat to citizens' free access to knowledge. We opt for a radical increase in public spending on education and scientific research. The 50-percent ticket discount on train tickets should be restored. We want the maintenance grant system to be extended.
  6. The state must be secular. There should not be any economical privileges for churches or other religious organisations. Their charity activity must be treated the same way as that performed by other, secular organisations. Religion should not be taught in public schools. We want the concordat to be revoked. We support restoring women's right to decide about their health and life, we are in favour of free abortion, free contraceptives, prenatal diagnosis and sexual education.
  7. We opt for a social Europe, fulfilling a social model based on solidarity, living democracy and social justice. W reject the Maastricht model – integration limited to a monetary and customs union. We support the uniformisation of European social and taxation systems. The EU budget must be much larger, and so should the funds aiding the poorer regions of the Union. All these goals may be fulfilled best in a European federal state.
  8. We are a part of the alterglobalisation movement. We will not accept a world ruled by multinational corporations, where the sovereignty of democratic society is limited. Capital speculation should be taxed (ex. Tobin tax). We opt for cancelling the dept of poor countries. International society ought to fight against social dumping.
  9. We oppose aggressive wars and all other military actions against international law. The war on terrorism cannot be a pretext for breaking human rights. Poland should withdraw from NATO. Compulsory military service needs to be replaced with an entirely professional army.
  10. We opt for a unicameral parliament. In order to provide uniformity of the democratic system, the constitutional powers of the president should be limited. We are convinced that Poland should use direct democracy mechanisms to a greater degree.
  11. The state must fight against any human activity which causes degradation of the natural environment. We opt for careful usage of natural resources and respecting nature.
