MAXIMUM PROGRAM
1. The main
strategic aim of the Party of labour is to overthrow
the capitalist social system and to replace it with the socialist social
system, to establish the democratic power of the people and social justice.
2. The building of socialism should be
adapted to Yugoslav conditions on the basis of the scientific principles of
Marxism-Leninism and proletarian internationalism. It should also take into
consideration the concrete conditions of the relationship between class and
political forces in the country and worldwide. Ways and methods should be
chosen that best suit our conditions, without imitating of any other
experience. Things which are historically exceeded [do you mean outmoded?], and
which life and practice did not confirm, should not be applied in the building
of socialism in
3. All forms of property: public,
cooperative and private, should be respected. The main fulcrum should be public
property, especially in the vital, strategic sectors that are of primary
importance for the country and socialism.
4. Democratic, equal rights for all should
be granted.
5. Full equal rights for all peoples -
national, religious and cultural rights, should be provided, as well as the
right of each people to self-determination up to secession and the creation of
their own state.
6. Free education, health care and public
welfare should be provided for all.
7. The right to work, to a place to live
and full cultural development should be provided.
8. The principle of distribution according
to work - equal pay for equal work - should be implemented.
9. All conditions necessary for the gradual
transition to a classless, communist society should be created.
