Political World

• The communist government wants to remove all inequalities people are facing such as the possession of property, distribution of wealth, until everything is divided equally. Nobody has a higher preference and everyone is punished equally.

Economic World

Socialism means re-structuring our economy to be fairer and more democratic.

• Banks, oil companies, utilities and key sectors of the economy such as steel and transportation would be publicly owned and operated.

• Small business would still be a vital part of the process• There would be enough resources freed up to fully fund public education, health care, mass transit, child care and

any other priorities the American people decide on.• In a socialist society, people would get paid for the work they do and rewarded for the initiatives they take. The

difference? No corporate big shots getting paid billions for the work others do.• War, racism, sexism and homophobia would lose their corporate sponsors.• Reversing climate change, developing green industries, and sustainability would be top priorities. No doubt

millions of young people would lead the way with such initiatives.• The rich and diverse multi-cultural American heritage could flourish in music, literature, dance, sports, film and art.• They are liberal in the economic world because :• Communists are ultimately individualistic, just like other liberals, because they start out with the view that the

individual comes into the world as a blank slate, with no inborn qualities to limit or give a particular direction to an individual's behaviour.

Social World

The Communist Party believes in social equality. They want guaranteed jobs for everybody, where the owners are not earning millions for the work of others. They put “ people before profit.” They believe in a universal healthcare.

Cultural World

• The Communist party are left-liberalist, meaning they believe in almost complete freedom. In today’s world, the communist party is for helping the working family and will take action to improve their status.
