Principles of the People’s Party of Texas

We, the People of Texas, desire to…

…build a community and society outside the confines of state capitalism*

…collectivize all production into the hands of the workers who produce

…end state violence against the People

…guarantee personal bodily autonomy

…ensure all People are cared for, nurtured, and fulfilled for their entire lives

…steward natural resources for the benefit of all People

…grant everyone the opportunity to learn, understand, and create new things

*State Capitalism: “A system of economic and political control in which a minority owns the means of production, and uses state violence to enforce that ownership.”

We, the People’s Party of Texas…

…minimize hierarchy, and will not allow power to be hoarded by a few

…share information openly, and will not withhold it to maintain power

…listen to all voices, and will not allow our friends to be silenced

…create shared visions, and will not force everyone into a single way of thinking
