People's Councilor Rëner Rëder Announces Great Economic Plan: Widespread Nationalizations and Land Reform, 'to give the People what is theirs!'
In this first number of Da Folk, the official newspaper of the Social-Nationalist Union, defender and forwarder of the foremost interests of the Bogan People, we give notice of Folksrader for Financial and economic Issues Rëner Rëder's announcement earlier today of a big economic plan that 'will bring our economy in line with the provisions within the Constitution of the People's State' and give the Bogan people 'what is theirs'.
This Great Economic Plan contains three main ideas, two of which are to be implemented 'immediately':
- Nationalization of Great Part of National Economy - the Folksrad and the Folksgamot will issue a series of decrees concerning the nationalization of all private law corporations that either are public companies (Bog. Aktsienbesalshapen) or, regardless of type of corporation, all corporations which employ more than 100 people, which, according to Rëder, is the 'threshold of exploitation'. There will be some kind of compensation to the former owners and shareholders, be it a monetary compensation or insertion into Public Administration. Competing nationalized entreprises will be merged, and put under the direction of the Office for Financial and Economic Issues, under the control of Councilor Rëder. The idea of the Folksrad, explains Rëder, is to 'avoid the concentration of great economic power in the hands of a private few who can influence the destinies of the People', while allowing 'private small-scale economic activity'; to increase economic efficiency; to destroy the classic capitalist bourgeoisie who controls the means of production.
- Large-Scale Land Reform - all properties exceeding 100 hectares shall be confiscated, with due compensation. They can have, after the confiscation, three fates - become a Kollektiveland (collective land), owned collectively by the farmers who used to work the land; become a Staatsland (big farms who, by strategic reasons, cannot be partitioned); or be partitioned between the working peasants. The objective, says Rëder, is to increase efficiency and put end to a feudal structure of land property in rural Boganhem.
- Five-Year Plans - after a short period of organization of the newly nationalized entreprises, the Office will ellaborate a Five-Year Plan to establish the economic objectives and priorities of national economic policy.
Both Rëder and the People's Councilor for Internal Security Broomhilda Hammershmit emphasized that 'resistance to these decrees would be futile' and 'immoral, since these measures express the will of the majority of the People'.
Let us all rejoice for the dawn of this new era where social inequalities will be squashed and brought down. No more will we linger in this post-feudalism of the 'constitutional monarchy', no longer will man exploit man and no longer will a private single person, having only money, influence the direction of policy, which can be determined by the People alone! Long live the People's State! Long live the People of Boganhem!!
