INTRODUCTION to The REVOLUTION®:
"The Revolution is a broad-based, non-ideological anti-authoritarian political party/organization. If even the alternative parties like Libertarian and Green seem a bit rigid to you, consider joining us."15 Point Party Platform for National Politics
# Convert to clean energy now!
# Drug peace! We call for an immediate end to the War on Drugs...
# We will repeal twice as many laws as we pass.
# End corporate rule!
# Radical simplification and reform of the tax system: We call for an end to all Federal Personal Income taxes on an individual's first $100,000 of income...
# You can't own the human genome.
# Close down the prison/industrial complex. Pardon all prisoners who are in for victimless crimes, provided they have no known history of violent activities. Pardon all prisoners listed with Amnesty International.
# Defend civil liberties. For the first time in recent memory, let's have a federal government that respects The Constitution and The Bill of Rights.
# Stop the war on youth. It's time to end absurd zero-tolerance policies in schools, curfews, and other impositions of martial law on the youth of America.
# It's time for a new globalism.
# Stop policing the world.
# Emphasize human rights in foreign policy, and be consistent about it.
# Close down the National Security State. Since the end of World War II, representative democracy has been hostage to the National Security State.
# Put environmental concerns before profits and jobs. On the other hand, put scientific consensus and reason ahead of emotion-based environmentalism.
# Open federally-funded birth control clinics all across the country...
# Allow 'autonomous zones.' Offer ways in which localities and even households can -- with a very few limits -- opt out of the system.
# Study the possibility of replacing demeaning welfare by using government to create an ultimately self-sustaining 'generic' maintenance economy.
# Study the possibility of restructuring the economic/money system toward making money consistent with actual value in an age where money-as-information is excessively abstracted from the creation of real wealth and unfairly favors those who know how to manipulate it.
# Fund a 'Manhattan Project Toward Utopia.'
# Victory Over Horseshit! The political process in America is hostage to certain obvious absurdities that are an embarrassment before the civilized world... Let's have a national government that calls ridiculous horseshit what it is."
