Since four of the first five answers I’ve seen are so mild, let me give you what my list would include and tell me if I’m wrong or if I’m missing something:
- Imprisonment and possessions seized for all those known to have committed child sexual abuse from the Epstein files
- Imprisonment and possessions seized for all those related to Trump’s corruption schemes which are:
- Stealing oil from Venezuela
- Insider trading during the current aggressive unprovoked full-scale genocide against Iran, Lebanon and possibly all nations in the Middle East, including US all allied nations in the Middle East except for Israel.
- Cryptocoin frauds
- Imprisonment and possessions seized for all those involved in war crimes
- Designate all detractors of these demands as rape, murder, thievery, and pedophile protectors
- Establishment of an independent Commission of Inquiry to investigate allegations of ICE brutality
- Retraction of any designation for this protest made as anything other than peaceful
- Release of every political arrest made during this protest and any protest prior that are still in prison with exception of the Jan 6th Capitol storming
- Reimprisonment of every pardoned criminal during Trump’s presidency
- An amendment that abolishes the first past the post winner-takes-all system.
- Instead it should have indirect elections to prevent campaign fraud (so you only elect local leaders, who elect those above them) and an approval voting system, but if that is deemed to radical here, then at least have initial proportional representation, with a majority amount of seats shuffled towards the winning coalition in order to prevent lame duck governance.
- An amendment that guarantees all citizens, including prisoners universal basic income
- An amendment that guarantees all citizens ownership of basic housing
- An amendment that guarantees all citizens ownership a basic amount of land that can prove themselves to be Indigenous First Nations US-soil Native American
- Rewrite the 13th amendment to abolish of slavery in prisons
- An amendment that secures roaming rights by making any vagrancy and loitering law illegal
- Have the amendment above include making it illegal to restrict access to gated communities. So no walking or driving around 10-meter-high, kilometer-wide walls.
- Amendment that guarantees continuous slower traffic paths through faster traffic paths, so walkways > bike lanes > roads.
- Repeal the Patriot Act
- Universal Health Care
- Nationalize all casinos except those owned by native Americans
- End all sanctions and embargoes on other countries
At that point you don’t do a protest, those are revolution numbers. Storm the government offices (who’s gonna stop you? The police and army are on your side apparently) and establish a dictatorship of the proletariat.
Remove the power dynamics created by capitalism. That’s the real problem with capitalism and why they fear socialism because socialism also removes the power dynamics
To be clear, socialism retains administration and organization, it just gradually abolishes class divisions.
All power to the soviets
Nationalize the large firms and key industries, end all embargoes and sanctions on other countries, redistribute land from the landlords and private firms, end all overseas millitary bases, end all wars and pull out of NATO. Begin building mass rail, solar, and nuclear by engaging with strategic partnerships with China. Land back and decolonization of Turtle Island. Building up the productive forces via central planning and strong state funding, while gradually appropriating medium firms as they grow and monopolize.
Dismantling settler-colonialism and imperialism are the primary tasks of building socialism on Turtle Island.
Production and distribution will be run according to a common, scientific plan. Worker’s councils will be set up, alongside youth leagues. Social programs like free healthcare and education will be established, and a reduction to the 30 hour work week in the long-run. Full-employment will be achieved via mass infrastructure projects. The country will be connected and integrated with the city, suburbs will gradually be pivoted away from in favor of mixed-use, walkable city planning.
Full protections for LGBTQIA+ individuals and abortion protections. Religion will be purged from the state in all aspects, while being protected as an individual choice. Prison reform will be established, focusing on rehabilitation and ending the profit motive from incarceration. Police budgets will be slashed. National parks will recieve greater land and funding for protections, as will scientific advancement in medicine and more.
This seems like a lot, but it all stems from nationalizing the large firms and key industries, as well as redistribution of land, land back, and decolonization. As imperialism decays, the economic compulsion for self-reliance grows, meaning if the working classes can establish a socialist state then we can achieve the rest gradually.
If those ideas sound good to you, and you haven’t yet engaged with Marxist-Leninist theory, I made a basic study guide! Feel free to check it out!
Sounds like a good start.
Only the beginning, before we can abolish class distinctions and fully collectivize production and distribution globally.
But that would be communist!
Don’t you know that a society can’t be truly free unless the ones with power have the freedom to oppress those who don’t?
Oh silly me! /s
