A December 2019 Election, final week, Statement

A December 2019, election week Statement.

------------------------

We are Members of two Parties of Democratic and Co-operative Socialism.

When elected to government - by 2024 or well before! - we will convert capitalism in this Country into true socialism: True Co-operative Socialism.

In so doing, everyone will receive, as a benefit of residency, a guaranteed Living Income, socially-determined, and, thus, the certainty of a guaranteed Living Income: including when working as students, apprentices, artists or community contributors: in good health and not.

For those who wish to receive an adfitional income from paid work, that income will be work-place determined up to a socially-determined paid-work maximum. And, thus, tax-free.

Since Rent, Interest and Profits-to-shareholders will be abolished, financial surpluses from workshops will flow back to The Common Purse: managed by a not-for-profit, interest-free money, banking and finance system.

That system will provide interest-free financing to workplaces (which we expect will in all probability, be organised as appropriate co-operatives and which, in fidelity to the Seventh Co-operative Principle, will, naturally, be operating For The Global Common Good.

Eventually, we expect that the use of money for any purpose will fade away, as more and more human needs are Community-provided, Free-at-the-point-of-use.

In so doing, because of this Equality Dividend, wellness-not-illness will become the norm, with Co-operative Careship of economic resources replacing Ownership And Exploitation of the same.

In do doing, our generation will be contributing to global wellness: a global Co-operative Commonweal of local and National Co-operative Commonwealths.

A world where we respond enthusiastically and creatively to the question, 'What can I, what can we,  give?'

Rather than capitalisms's selfishness: 'What can I, what can we, get?'

For all, the best!

Equally!
