Citizens have the right to work, that is, are guaranteed the right to employment and payment for their work in accordance With its quantity and quality.2. Citizens have the right to rest and leisure. The right to rest and leisure is ensured by the reduction of the working day to seven hours for the overwhelming majority of the workers, the institution of annual vacations with full pay for workers and employees. 3. Citizens have the right to maintenance in old age and also in case of sickness or loss of capacity to work. This right is ensured by the extensive development of social insurance of workers and employees at state expense, free medical service. 4. Citizens have the right to education. This right is ensured by universal, compulsory elementary education; by education, including higher education, being free of charge; by the system of state stipends for the overwhelming majority of students in the universities and colleges; by instruction in schools being conducted in the native Language. 5. Women are accorded equal rights with men in all spheres of economic, state, cultural, social and political life.

I always enjoyed this, because it's written in such a way which is supposed to sound good, but is so wide open to interpretation that no one will ever execute the constitution in the way the peons think it should. |

Some of these are in the current Constitution, some might be worthy goals but are impossible to achieve, and some items contradict other items. |

Posted by DAND124 on Tue Sep 4 20:15:00 2012, in response to New Constitution, posted by Broadway Lion on Tue Sep 4 18:52:45 2012. how about these?We demand that all unearned income, and all income that does not arise from work, be abolished. Since every war imposes on the people fearful sacrifices in blood and treasure, all personal profit arising from the war must be regarded as treason to the people. We therefore demand the total confiscation of all war profits. We demand the nationalization of all trusts. We demand profit-sharing in large industries. We demand a generous increase in old-age pensions. We demand the creation and maintenance of a sound middle-class, the immediate communalization of large stores which will be rented cheaply to small tradespeople, and the strongest consideration must be given to ensure that small traders shall deliver the supplies needed by the State, the provinces and municipalities. We demand an agrarian reform in accordance with our national requirements, and the enactment of a law to expropriate the owners without compensation of any land needed for the common purpose. The abolition of ground rents, and the prohibition of all speculation in land. |

Posted by SMAZ on Tue Sep 4 21:45:25 2012, in response to New Constitution, posted by Broadway Lion on Tue Sep 4 18:52:45 2012. you mock Catholic doctrine yet you call yourself a man of the cloth?The goals of Marx and Christ were the same and yet both unachievable because of the inherent sinful and greedy nature of Man. what you listed is not much different than the goals of FDR's Second Bill of Rights. He was out greatest President in the 20th Century. If the goals that are key to basic Human Progress cannot be achieved by peaceful and democratic means they will instead we be achieved by violent and coercive ones and your convent will then be turned into a pile of rubble. Ask Nicholas II about it. People like you will never be able to stop the most elementary hopes and aspirations of the People. Get with the program or succumb opposing it. |
