We demand that productive private enterprise be bolstered as a cornerstone of British society. Businesses should be encouraged to form co-operatives and collaborate where possible for mutual benefit. The state must support businesses which work towards national economic goals.
In keeping with the fundament right and duty of honest work, the economic direction of the National Agenda must ensure that our people are helped to become prosperous and productive in their own right. This means supporting private initiative and enterprise wherever possible, as well as managing the overall direction of the collective economy so that it works for the benefit of the masses, not the other way around.
True enterprise is that which benefits both the individual and society as a whole, which concurrently serves personal and collective economic goals.
When people work collectively, they always achieve more than when they work in ignorance of each other. The strength of the group is always greater than the strength of any one person. To this end, even though private enterprise must be encouraged, our people must be encouraged to work collaboratively wherever they can, rather than just competitively. Neo-liberal capitalism must be replaced. The state should constructively intervene where it can help private enterprises work together for mutual benefit (and the benefit of the society around them).
The capitalists on the right call for an unregulated free market, in which every individual can do as they please. The communists on the left call for a completely controlled economy where nobody can use their own initiative. What the National Agenda calls for is a true third position between the two. Not a centrally commanded economy, but a centrally guided one.
The state must use its power to develop broad economic goals, based upon the needs, aims and objectives of the entire population as a collective, and the task of private enterprise must be to work towards these goals, in a way that their initiative sees fit. The state must financially and logistically support businesses, industries and all manner of enterprises which work towards these national economic goals, including by direct financial investment and intervention in the market.
Pioneering ideas, new technologies, and more efficient ways of working must be supported not just by competition but by the state sponsoring and supporting these things, and rewarding those who create enterprises which not only benefit the entrepreneur, but also benefit wider society.
