If the army and police are on our side, why bother with demands? Nobody else matters.

In context, Trump won 2024 with only 77 million voters. If you can get 100+ million to show up, that's enough to demand control over Congress and the Presidency.

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.

Off the top of my head ...

• free public health care for all.
• forgive all medical debt
• free public education for all, including college.
• forgive all student loan debt
• universal basic income
• more public housing. Homes are owned by the people who live in them, or the state. No profit seeking private orgs.
• close the "buy borrow die" loopholes, where people get untaxed loans to access their wealth without paying taxes
• more tax on the wealthy
• look into making property tax progressive like income. That is, the first $nnn of your house is untaxed, the next chunk at some percent, the following chunk at a greater percent, and so on.
• all Republicans removed from office. They are barred from government positions for life, as well as any private role with decision making power.
• break up mega corps. Disney, Microsoft, Amazon, etc. Their current leadership has their wealth seized, and they are barred from leadership positions for life.
• invest heavily in public transit and safety improvements to existing roadways. Cars are literally killing us as well as sapping our resources.
• mandatory profit sharing for employees.
• mandatory pay transparency
• maximum pay gap between roles. No more janitor making $7/HR while the CEO makes $300/hr
• accounting hijinks to pretend like your org made no profit, or "they're not employees they're contractors" are punishable by seizure of all wealth and a prohibition from similar roles for life
• come up with something so venture capitalist bros aren't deciding the future, if the above doesn't somehow fix it.

Year zero, destroy all computers and return to agricultural living. binoclards eliminated

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!

what's the fuzz? this increase in prices is just short term pain for long term pain

All power to the soviets

• Private equity out of family housing
• Public compulsory health insurance
• Progressive property tax based on number of residences
• Social programs for helping Homelessness and helping people own their first home
• Cap rent prices to an indexed table, tax landlords heavily if they rent multiple places

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

As a bit of a left field addition to other good suggestions already in this thread:

Rescind the fiduciary duty of any officer in a corporation to increase shareholder value no matter what. Exceptions must be made for cases where it would hurt the environment (anywhere on the planet and judging by the strictest state laws in effect), cause excessive loss of jobs, or hurt consumers.

I think a lot of problems of late stage capitalism are downstream consequences from this stupid law.

• Set minumum wage to a living wage +auto adjust annually per inflation
• Medicare for all
• Replace social security with a retirement plan baked into the essential budget

Representatives pay would be capped at a salary of the average of their constituents + a stipend for DC (maybe a little above average, but not terribly). Medical would also be that.
