I firmly believe that:
- the people should seize the means of production from the rich bourgeois snobs, but the means of production should be under a planned market economy.
- There'd still be competition and advertising, but the latter would be very very regulated.
- There'd still be both private and public companies (in addition to worker-owned cooperatives and collectives), but forming monopolies would be disencouraged.
- Through a land value tax, all private property would be put in check.
- All citizens will be ensured the rights of life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness through welfare.
- All money would be redistributed to the people in a form of a dividend of $1150 per month.
- A democratic dictatorship of the proletariat shouldn't be focused on just one party. The Communist Party would act as the main social institution, but would allow a coalition (or front) of like-minded but competitive socialist parties.
- The parties would go hand-in-hand with the industrial unions; the state is only temporary. The people should be entitled to the fruits of their labor and other stuff, but when it comes to organizing and such, they obviously CAN'T do it alone. The government is clearly crushing people's liberties, and it's time that the proletariat runs the show.
- Oh, and oppressive police forces like ICE wouldn't get their grubby little hands on the proletariat because at the end of the day we all have to be armed in case some police force decides to stifle people's liberties and rights.
- The socialist spectrum should be allowed to listen to each other's views (whether Marxist-Leninist or full-fledged libertarian socialist).
I consider myself as a market socialist because of this. What do you think?
