Our program

What we fight for

The capitalist system is the root cause of poverty, racism, violence, environmental destruction and war. Communists are fighting to overthrow this rotten system and replace it with a new classless society based on the principle “from each according to their ability, to each according to their needs”.

To achieve this, we are fighting for a workers’ government based on the following program. The Revolutionary Communist Party’s task is to lay the foundations of a mass communist party, which will enable the working class to implement this program.

  • End the dictatorship of the bosses! Expropriate the top 200 major corporations. For a democratic socialist plan of production under workers’ control and management.

  • No poverty amongst wealth! Expropriate the banks and rebuild the crumbling social services, infrastructure and health-care system.

  • Save the planet by planning the economy! Enact a massive expansion of production and transition to clean energy with no loss of jobs. Build a vast network of free public transit.

  • Solve the housing crisis! Expropriate parasitic landlords and developers. Make the bosses pay for a massive home-building program.

  • Good jobs for all! Minimum wage of two-thirds the average wage indexed to inflation. Retirement age of 55. Thirty-hour work week with no loss of pay.

  • Free education for all! Cancel all student debts. Place schools and universities under the democratic control of teachers, staff and students.

  • Fight all forms of oppression! No more racist immigration and border controls. Equal pay for equal work. Free, high-quality child care and reproductive health services, including abortion.

  • For a communist solution to Indigenous oppression! Stop capitalist encroachment on reserves. End poverty, on and off the reserves.

  • For a voluntary socialist union of peoples! End the federal capitalist state that oppresses both Quebec and Canadian workers. Self-determination for Quebec.

  • Overthrow the warmongers! Stop the mad rush towards war. Not one penny for bombs. End support for the murderous Israeli regime.
