Congressman for Folket

Congress Elections

I work for:

• The World Revolution.

World wide liberation has to be achieved through any means possible.

• Increased freedom through state-owned companies.

The state needs an increased role in the economy and production. There has to be state production of houses, and all other goods. Today the pro-private business government dislikes the idea of having increased competition on the market. They don't want to give people the choice to work for a private owner or for the state.

• Increased freedom through worker-owned companies.

The state has to grant loans to people who want to start workers' self-managed companies, where no private owners and thus no profits exist. Which means that the workers receive higher wages and the prices are lower, as no single person takes any money away for his own benefit. Working for worker-owned companies adds a new choice, i.e. increased freedom, to the player.

Today: Since the success of Arbetarkooperativet, a cooperative started in V1 by MSAP, the Swedish Labour Union, Christian Klar, Eskil and Radsoc, a number of independent cooperatives popped up in Sweden. The swedish state also supports the founding of new cooperatives by handing out substantial gold-grants.

• A home for all.

The market has failed to make houses affordable for all. The state has to enter the market and produce houses that are affordable for all. Of course, with the current government this is impossible as the congressmen who own housing companies would make huge losses. Houses for all would vastly increase wellness for the population, and therefore increase Swedish productivity. This secures our position in the world as a strong independent nation.

• Rapidly increased production of hospitals and defence systems.

The current Swedish hospitals have a too low quality level. This means that our defence isn't as good as it could be. The state has to increase the quality of the hospitals as fast as possible. Same goes for defence systems, where production is extremely low today.

• A strong anti-imperialist defence.

There has to be defence systems, hospitals at the highest quality levels in this country. Weapon-, moving-, and gift- stashes as well as an increased budget for the military forces is required in order to make Sweden the independent powerhouse we want it to be.

• An independent workers militia.

The party of the working class must create its own military force, a workers militia, that isn't subordinated the bourgeois government. We don't want to be tools of the corporate thugs of FBS who neglect the economy just to make profit. We can fight the corporate gangsters in wars and resistance wars in an organized way ourselves.

Today: A Workers' Militia has been created, and has participated in a number of conflicts around the world.

• A parallel exercise of power.

A parallel base of power is required. The bourgeois government can be outmaneuvered by creating a strong labour union, many worker-owned companies and its own armed force. By doing this the party can gain an increased presence in society, which will help the working class get more congressmen. The workers will also have the possibility to virtually control the country without being part of congress majority.

• Full employment.

When people are unemployed, especially newbies, a lot of potential goes to waste and new players might quit. It's essential that the state guarantees work for all. Unemployment is a waste.

• Abolished Starvation

Wages must at least cover the food expenses needed to increase wellness. Otherwise productivity will drop over time and people starve.

• A government that only represents the interests of the majority, the working class.

The government has to consist of the working class rather than the minority of rich company owners. Today many bourgeois congressmen try to maximize their own profit rather than working for the benefit of the country.

• Increased international cooperation and boundless support for socialist movements around the world.

Sweden must support international liberation struggles around the world. We have to be a nation that feels no obstacles from freeing the world from nationalist and capitalist tyranny.

• Leaving all imperialist alliances and creating a new Global Socialist Alliance.

EDEN, PEACE etc are nationalist and imperialist alliances that force countries to unnecessary wars at huge costs. They might very well fight socialists and other liberation movements if they see fit.

For more information on my policies, see the newspaper Revolution.

Purpose: The finance minister and governor of the national bank of Sweden Karl Holm used his position to adjust market rates for personal gain. He did also show signs of incompetence unsuitable for his role.

The national bank should act for the good of the nation rather than for the benefit of private interests. A new finance minister/national bank governor must be elected who doesn't have split economic interests.

I consider Karl Holm to be guilty of massive corruption and unduly acquirement of state property in connection with monetary market trade.

• 17 Oct - Support Russian Resistance[15]

Purpose: Gold and guns for the revolutionaries in Russia.

Purpose: To make sure Germany isn't conquered again after gaining independence from Sweden.
