Ideology
List of leaders
Policies:
“The aim of the Communist Party is to achieve a communist West Phoenicia in which the means of production, distribution and exchange will be socially owned and utilised in a planned way for the benefit of all.
This necessitates a revolutionary transformation of society, ending the existing capitalist system of exploitation and replacing it with a socialist society in which each will contribute according to ability and receive according to work done. Socialist society creates the conditions for advance to a fully communist form of society in which each will receive according to need.
The party's main policies include;
- Redistribute wealth from the rich and big business to working people and their families with a wealth tax, higher corporation tax, higher pensions and social benefits
- Set the national minimum wage at half median male earnings rising to two-thirds, with no exemptions, and enforce equal pay through compulsory pay audits.
- Immediately restore the link between the state retirement pension and earnings at its original value and introduce a second state pension which includes contributions from employers and the state.
- Halt all forms of privatisation and invest in public services and their staff, with a massive programme in particular to build more council and sheltered housing
- Integrate all religious, private, trust and city academy schools into a unified secular education system under democratic local control.
- Protect and develop manufacturing industry through public investment, measures against the export of jobs and capital, and expanding fair trade with third world nations.
- Restore public ownership in the energy and transport sectors – including the electricity, gas, coal, water and railway industries – so that we can plan to meet future needs by developing clean coal technology and tidal, solar and offshore wind power
- Match public subsidies to failing private companies with a public shareholding and take banking and key industries such as pharmaceuticals and armaments into democratic public ownership.
- Cut military spending by 3/4, switch military R&D and production to meeting social needs and scrap new plans for new ships, aircraft and weaponry.
- Repeal all anti-trade union, anti-democratic and racist immigration laws with full employment rights and trade union participation for migrant workers.
- Bring the police and intelligence services under democratic control.
- Cancel all Third World debt, promote genuine trade-and-aid policies.
