Principles of the Belgian Communist Party

Day 1,325, 12:02 Published in Belgium Switzerland by Monsieur Guillontine


Salut Comrades!

All of you have probably already read The Communist Manifesto: Time for Change, but I am not sure whether everyone here understands what the Belgian Communist Party's purpose is yet, so to clarify and further emphasize the party's points, we would like to state our principles to which our party advocates. There are our four main principles:



1. Governance should be for the people, by the people

The citizens of eBelgium are the reason there is an eBelgium. Governance by decree or fiat is unacceptable. Congress is chosen by the populace and should work and vote for the benefit of the majority. The government is also appointed by the people, and should also work for the benefit of the majority. Accounts, decisions, and actions by the congress, the government, and the Belgian Communist Party should be subject to review. No citizen should feel that others are receiving hidden privileges or compensation. Important governmental decisions should be discussed and debated in an open forum before implementation, and decisions that affect the people should be decided upon by the people, either directly or by their chosen representatives.



2. All government, economic, and military activity should be voluntary

A core concept of the Belgian Communist Party is that even when individuals or a group of individuals reject a request, the party accepts that it is the people's own choice to do so. The Belgian Communist Party understands that although working for the common good will result in endless prosperity for the nation of eBelgium, the Belgian Communist Party would like to stress that it is still the citizen who makes the decision. In addition, it is important to know that loyalty is earned and not to be enforced by oaths or penalties.



3. Competition must be abolished and replaced with association

The costs of production of labor consist of precisely the quantity of means of subsistence necessary to enable the worker to continue working, and to prevent the working class from dying out. The worker will therefore get no more for his labor than is necessary for this purpose; the price of labor, or the wage, will, in other words, be the lowest, the minimum, required for the maintenance of life. However, competition in eBelgium is soaring, resulting in only the strongest business owners to profit, whereas the weaker smaller players are left to spiral downward into debt. Therefore, the Belgian Communist Party believes that in order to resolve this crisis, industry and all branches of production should be taken out of the hands of mutually competing individuals, and instead be turned into state-sponsored companies in which they are operated by society as a whole – that is, for the common account, according to a common plan, and with the participation of all members of society.



4. Those who contribute to the greater good should be recognized, which is its own reward

Selfless actions should be praised, but no member of the Belgian Communist Party should demand or take differing compensation that is unavailable to the populace. Secret payments, kick-backs, salaries, compensation, all of these are anathema to a fair and open government.



And so my fellow comrades, it is up to us, as a community, to introduce a long-lasting era of cooperation, in which all shall be equal, in which all shall be respected, in which all shall be represented.

Join the Belgian Communist Party! Change eBelgium forever!







Yours Truly,
Monsieur Guillontine
Chairman of the Belgian Communist Party
