Internationalist Self-Management and Solidarity MANIFESTO

To All The World Citizens:

Internationalist Self-Management and Solidarity has been created as a political party with three top priorities:

• To put an end to hunger suffered by 80% of humanity
• To put an end to unemployment and precarious working conditions which affects more than 1.600 million people.
• To put an end to child slavery, which condemns more than 400 million children

For more than 60 years, we have been fostering moral political action. Against Franco´s regime, through militant organizations. For the last 20 years, we have been building economic and cultural self-managing realities based on the historical experience of the impoverished. Among other political activities, we have been promoting the blank vote in solidarity with the impoverished for more than 20 years, as long as no political party should include putting an end to these three marks within their first three objectives.

We have sadly confirmed that:

• None of the present Spanish political parties has taken on these priorities and what makes matters worse, they have consented to a political organization model of society that prevents them from being achieved.
• Starvation is THE FIRST POLITICAL PROBLEM. IT HAS A SOLUTION IF IT IS WANTED. We have enough resources and human capacity to immediately put a definite end to it.

Our moral political activity is based on three principles:

• JUSTICE
• SOLIDARITY
• SELF-MANAGEMENT

Based on these principles, WE ARE MAKING SPANISH SOCIETY THE FOLLOWING POLITICAL PROPOSAL:

FOR ECONOMIC DEMOCRACY AND JUSTICE:

• TO PUT AN END TO STARVATION, UNEMPLOYMENT AND PRECARIOUS WORKING CONDITIONS, AND SLAVERY:
  • To demand that large institutions and international organisms, in the first place the EU and the UN, draw up an imminent plan to put and end to them
  • To take measures to prevent any means of production based on exploitation and slavery
  • To write off the Foreign Debt
  • To socialize technological and scientific knowledge
  • To create new trading and financial mechanisms
• PROPERTY, WEALTH AND WORK REDISTRIBUTION

FOR A CULTURE THAT FOSTERS LIFE:

• «THOU SHALT NOT KILL!» We are AGAINST ABORTION, EUTHANASIA, THE DEATH PENALTY, GENETIC ENGINEERING INVOLVING HUMAN BEINGS, AND EUGENESIA. We condemn EVERY WAR and ANY TYPE OF TERRORISM. A moral revolution is urgently needed for human life to receive the full respect and dignity that it deserves.
• REAL INFORMATION PLURALISM. FREE MASS MEDIA, INDEPENDENT from politico-economic ruling interests.
• REAL PUBLIC EDUCATION, NOT JUST LIKE THE CURRENTLY STATE-MAINTAINED ONE, which should promote a self-managing CULTURE OF SOLIDARITY that should show full respect for human life.

FOR A SELF-MANAGING REAL DEMOCRACY:

• WE ARE AGAINST ANY FORM OF NATIONALISM BECAUSE IT GOES AGAINST SOLIDARITY. WE DEFEND SOLIDARITY INTERNATIONALISM that would foster different human community relationships which would expand further and further until it reaches the universal community.
• We consider it fundamental TO COMBAT POLITICAL CORRUPTION. We demand that it be mandatory for each political party to make public income and finance sources and that politicians should never get salaries higher than the minimum wage.
• For A SELF-MANAGING SOCIETY, we need to ensure training methods, consulting mechanisms, and the ability to decide on and exercise control over political matters. In addition, the association of citizens with decision-making capacity must be encouraged.
