I propose twelve principles that could guide #MAGACommunism, for consideration and discussion.

(1) We appeal to all US citizens, without regard for race, ethnicity, gender, or class. We convoke them as the “people,” in the tradition of the American Revolution.

(2) We affirm the principles of the American Constitution and its separation of executive, legislative, and judicial powers. We call upon all citizens to care for the founding constitutional principles of the nation as they pursue particular policy goals.

(3) U.S. foreign policy ought to be anti-imperialist, non-interventionist, and respectful toward to the sovereignty of all nations. The USA should seek mutually beneficial trade will all nations. All existing sanctions should be eliminated.

(4) We must create structures to eliminate of the role of money in electoral campaigns, to improve the quality of public debate, and to elevate the social and political consciousness of our people, thereby establishing the foundations for government of, by, and for the people.

(5) Capitalistic enterprises, large and small, are the driving force of the economy. However, they must operate under state guidance, direction, and regulation, in accordance with a long-term comprehensive plan for further developing the productive capacity of the nation.

(6) The federal government ought to ensure that all citizens have affordable health care and housing as well as healthy nutrition and equal access to high quality education. We support a constitutional amendment for the protection of the socioeconomic rights of all citizens.

(7) We believe in equality of opportunity for all in education and employment, with no discrimination on the base of race, ethnicity, class, or sex. We believe that preferential treatment for some categories of the people no longer has positive social consequences.

(8) The rights of homosexuals & transgender persons ought to be respected. But such comportment ought not be normalized or celebrated, except privately, out of respect for citizens with religious convictions. Gender transition medical treatments on minors ought not be legal.

(9) The difficult issue of the right to life versus reproductive rights should be addressed in the states, in accordance with the Tenth Amendment. We encourage the citizens of the states to look for middle ground, such as no abortions after ten or twelve weeks of gestation.

(10) Immigration laws ought to be enforced. The federal government ought to cooperate with other nations in the development of safe, orderly, and controlled international migration and in alleviating the desperate socioeconomic conditions that stimulate migration.

(11) The people of our nation ought to be educated with respect to the worldwide processes of conquest, colonialism, slavery and other forms of forced labor, neocolonialism, and imperialism. Broken treaties with the First Nations of America ought to be revisited.

(12) We are American patriots. We seek an economic revitalization and spiritual renewal of our nation.
