II. Meeting Social Needs

There must be a reversal of the movement in leading circles that has already brought various departments of economic life—the postal and railway services, etc.—into state ownership. There must be a movement towards eliminating all economic activity from the domain of politics and state organization.

They propose to socialize all institutions of economic life insofar as they are means of production.
