Vision & Plan
Tenets
Consumer Protection – Insurance(s), utilities, rentals, retail, services, apps, one-sided T/Cs, refunds, renewing.

Sustainability – Somehow, we must work together to create long term solutions for our earth and our people.
Learning – Value personal growth, and higher learning in all forms while not excluding free thought.
National Issues – Pro Bill of Rights, (mental) health, streamlined immigration, human rights over states’ rights.
Geopolitics – Pro national security, democracy, human rights, fair trade. Oppose genocide, land-grabs.

Vision
In general terms:
Upward mobility for the masses.
Not getting ripped off right and left.
Fair pay for fair work.
An environment where people are secure in their person and belongings.
Not going bankrupt due to medical bills.
Society needs the cycle to keep going. People use their paychecks to spend money to sustain others' jobs. But it's not sustainable for shareholders to receive billions in stock dividends while oligarchs don't pay enough wage and tax to cover society's base layer.
Goals
The vision above is nice but unspecific.
If the masses want to achieve that vision they have to ASK for specific things, specific laws, specific rights.
The ultimate goal is to prevent and reverse the elite skewing the game.
First look at proposed national laws:
1. Insurance companies cannot deny if two doctors request.
2. Gig app companies must refund with proof, must pay living wage.
3. Banks must offer to cancel subscriptions with 30 day notice.
4. Job ads must reflect accurate pay and duties.
5. National minimum wage $15 for employers of 25+ people.
6. Medicare for all.
7. Books/music bought online are yours to (personally) keep.
8. Right to repair.
9. Net neutrality.
10. Tax wealth, reduce national debt, use interest for infrastructure.
11. No tariffs on allies. No invading allies. No aid for war crimes.
12. Streamlined immigration process.
It is very early in the process, and it is a democratic process. This list reflects yet-undebated topics. Please join the discussion.
Laws exist at state and local levels also.
We encourage party members to campaign for local positions of influence to move our vision forward, closer to home.
1. Homelessness problem
2. Police brutality
3. Local job ads
4. Education initiatives
5. Help people get jobs
6. Paid to volunteer
7. Handicap access
8. Quality child care
9. Tidying the area
10. Housework for seniors
How to pay for this? A cap on wealth.
There are fewer wealthy people than regular people. If regular people VOTED for their own interests, we could even the playing field a little.
Not every city has wealthy people because wealth is concentrated at the top. We all need to work toward having some of that trickle down to society's base, the citizenry.
Plan
In response to the inability of the nation’s two major political parties to effectively help the common citizen, the Post-Capitalism Party has been created and proposes the following:
1. Rally initial public support
2. Hire an attorney
3. Certify delegates
4. Vote to adopt tenets of party
5. Certify first board
6. Invite independent candidates
7. Invite ally groups
8. Hash best practices
9. Promote laws that protect consumers
10. Promote candidates that protect consumers
Fluid Dynamics
The project is still very young and rough.
We do not expect a fast, magic answer.
We are reasonable people seeking reasonable solutions.
Help shape the party.
