SGC
- Manifesto
Corporate greed has caused both the international financial crisis and the
global climate crisis. Workers and the poor are forced to subsidise massive
bail outs of failing banks. Millions are opposed to this unfair ‘free’
market capitalism. The SGC stands in solidarity with all people across the
world fighting exploitation and oppression. Our international struggle is
for a world of equality, dignity, and respect for nature and the environment
– a sustainable socialist world.
Only workers and communities fighting for our real needs have the power
to transform the world. In uniting with communities to challenge Government
and Parliament, the Socialist Green Coalition is committed to fight together
with the people for the following demands:
1 Control of Government
Right of recall and right to set representatives pay - all politicians and
public servants must be completely accountable to the electorate. Develop
government policy through mass public participation. Direct worker and community
control of living conditions and sustainable improvements.
2 Nationalisation
Control the economy, industry, mines, agriculture, banks, mass media and
utilities, through worker and community management. No privatisation of
government land or property. Food security: Redistribute land for healthy
organic food for all – infrastructure cross-subsidised from a rising
per capita wealth tax.
3 End Unemployment – End Poverty
Full employment: 30 hour work week, permanent jobs, decent work, and a living
wage for all. Stop the arms deal - use wealth and production to satisfy
everyone’s real needs. Eradicate poverty, inequality and prejudice,
to rid South Africa of the root causes of crime, corruption and violence.
4 Free Services
Everyone must have sufficient water, electricity, decent homes, quality
health care, nutritious food, good education, electronic communication (radio
tv phone internet), safe reliable transport and an adequate living expenses
allowance. Services must be provided through worker & community
governance not privatisation.
5 Ecological Sustainability
Stop pollution, global warming and climate change. No nuclear power
plants - no radioactive waste. Safe renewable energy and reliable public
transport must be provided on a mass scale. Eskom must supply households
with the means for renewable electricity production. Eradicate all
the dangers to nature and human life due to irresponsible and unsustainable
business and industry. Stop genetic engineering.
6 Revolutionary Campaigns
Support strikes, protests, boycotts and actions against pollution, exploitation,
privatisation, labour casualisation, retrenchments, and neo-liberal commodification.
Absolute unqualified human rights must be guaranteed, including the right
to strike, protest and mobilise, without limitations and conditions.
7 International Solidarity
Fight racism, xenophobia, sexism, ageism, discrimination, prejudice and
exploitation. Everyone must be treated equally with respect and dignity
regardless of class, belief, culture, or sexual orientation. Unite in programmes
of working people all over the world to defend our interests against the
corrupt global elite.
