Manifesto of the Young Communist League of Canada

by YCLC

FOR A LIFE WITH A FUTURE!

MANIFESTO OF THE YOUNG COMMUNIST LEAGUE OF CANADA

Peace! Jobs! Accessible education! Independence! Socialism! These are the issues that unite youth across Canada unto a fighting organization -- the Young Communist League of Canada (YCL).

The YCL says a defiant NO to poor education, dead end jobs, chronic unemployment, imperialism and the constant threat of war, particularly nuclear war.

We fight the control of our country by a capitalist monopoly. We don't think that a handful of banks, corporations and multinationals should be allowed to jeopardize our future through their ruthless drive for profits. We believe that a socialist Canada, where the major means of producing and distributing the wealth will be the common property of Canada's working people, holds the real future for our generation. Under socialism, the fullest development of individuals will occur because collective solutions will be found to problems such as unemployment, poor education, and the constant threat of war.

As part of our goal for socialism, the YCL fights for the interests of young Canadians today. We struggle for youth unity around a platform as we put forward in our policy for a Charter of Youth Rights. This platform must have an anti-monopoly orientation because monopoly capitalism is responsible for the deterioration of living conditions.

The YCL struggles for a Canadian constitution that will guarantee the right to self-determination for both nations in Canada -- Quebec and English-speaking Canada. Our Constitution must also guarantee self-government and other aboriginal and treaty rights to the Indian, Inuit and Metis peoples. The social and economic rights of working people and youth should also be guaranteed.

Jobs must be a right for Canadian youth. We need new economic policies to process our natural resources and to develop the manufacturing industrial sector to produce the goods Canadians need. Decent pay and working conditions as well as the opportunity for furthur training must be guaranteed as well as the development of the resorces in the interests of the people.

We want more and better -- instead of fewer and worse -- schools, colleges and universities. Instead of enormous tuition fees, free education and a living stipend should make education accessible to all.

Brutal, pornographic and alienating themes in mass culture, which are used by big business to force our generation into a mold of quiet obedience must be replaced by creative, human focuses for our leisure time which would include adequate sports, recreation and cultural facilities and centres. We reject abuse of drugs and alcohol to distract our generation from the problems of daily life.

We fight against racism, sexism, and all forms of discrimination against native and immigrant youth. We understand that these practises undermine the unity needed to change society.

We pledge to fight for a world free of war. All of the other rights we fight for depend on the survival of humankind.

The YCL works to build solidarity between the Canadian youth and youth and students abroad who are fighting to dignity and national liberation. We think that the future of Canada is tied to winning peace and the success of movements to free underdeveloped countries from the domination of the multinationals and imperialism. As a member of the World Federation of Democratic Youth (WFDY) we campaign for moral and material support for peoples fighting to get rid of fascism, imperialism, and oppression. We also rally support and solidarity for the youth of those countries where youth now have a future -- the socialist countries. We put special emphasis on solidarity with the youth of the Soviet Union, the first socialist country and the target of the most ferocious attacks by imperialist propaganda.

The YCL provides hands-on experience in the class struggle for youth, we who are just beginning to find out what life under capitalism is all about. We realize that youth alone can't fundamentally change society; the vast majority of Canadians will have to struggle against big business in order to do this. We recognize the leading role of the working class in this struggle; because of its place in the process of production it is the class that has everything to do with revolutionary changes.

The YCL is an independant mass youth organization. We are united in the revolutionary struggle under the political guidance and leadership of the Communist Party of Canada, and its program "The Road to Socialism in Canada". We study and apply the philosophy of Marxism-Leninism, the revolutionary theory of the working class. The YCL is a school where young people can learn to become communists.

The YCL has lofty goals, goals which can be won with struggle. It is our goal, our Canada, lets fight for it!
