_______________

Not ready yet.

1. You forgot about racism.
2. You mention generic guidelines, not actual proposals
3. I don't believe in expelling members or being able too. Fhtagn is trolling and ASV has no interest in joining. I think it's incredibly stupid.
4. I believe in independent media, not in media that brainwashes us.
5. The Party Bylaws in general are radical and authoritarian

4. Atlasia must strive towards a better world and the Green Party of Atlasia proposes the following:

We are anti-imperialist, and support diplomatic and peaceful ways to solve human conflicts.

China

We support the Hong Kong resistance against China, and demand the autonomy of Hong Kong to be expanded, and democratic elections to be guaranteed in China.

We recognize the threat China poses to our way of living and our economy, and are in favour of economic and diplomatic sanctions against China, and openly support and explore ways to enforce a regime change.

We recognize Taiwan as an independent nation, and condemn the oppresion of numerous minority cultures by China

We are in favour of forming a military defence pact with other nations against new threats like China. We propose reforming NATO and making every nation spend at least 1% of their GDP to their military.

Other conflicts

We support a two state solution between Israel and Palestine, and stay neutral in the conflict.

We support the formation of an independent Kurdistan, starting with Rojava

General

It's our task to spread the values of democracy, solidarity and environmentalism around the world through diplomacy and sanctions. Freedom of speech needs to be protected and guaranteed everywhere in the world.

We support strategic and efficient cuts to defense spending

[Zinneke]

what about vegan burgers

[PSOL]

If the platform is rejected in any parts, we’ll definitely go back to the drawing board. Thanks Lakigigar for bringing these planks up.

[PSOL]

what about vegan burgers

For the next convention.

[PSOL]

I've gotta ask why you aren't doing each platform clause individually.

We agreed beforehand through talks that these clauses were wholly agreed upon except the ones done individually. It seems we are probably going to head back up to the drawing board.

[Lourdes]

01 - Aye
02 - Single Payer

We want to increase taxes for the super rich (1% richest), while exploring to balance budgets and decrease taxes for the middle class, if possible.

We want masks to be obligated by law, in all public places, including outdoors to prevent new waves of the corona virus.

We want to explore the feasibility of a one-time corona tax of 5% of total wealth, on the 1% richest of Atlasia. With the tax, we want to stimulate and save local and small businesses, reduce long-term damage to the economy and stimulate the lower classes.
