Fighting Programme of the Communist Party of Australia (Marxist-Leninist)
• Download PDF Version (88kb)

The Communist Party of Australia (M-L) strives to strengthen and expand the fighting capacity and organisation of the Australian working class and its allies.

This Fighting Programme arises from the reality of economic and political domination of Australia by US imperialism on the one hand and the struggles of the people for a just, democratic and independent Australia on the other.

It upholds the principle of serving the people and stands against oppression and exploitation. The programme sets out immediate and intermediate objectives for the current stage of the Australian revolution. The Party's immediate objective is to assist in the building of a broad people's movement against imperialist domination and fascism.

We're fighting to:

• Build people's power in society as the foundation stone for a democratic people's republic uniting all anti-imperialist classes and sectors.

• Build workers' strength and organisation as a force to win independence from foreign multinational domination.

• Defend and extend people's democratic and civil rights.

• Put industry sector workers and communities in control of key services to the people.

• Nationalise key industries and infrastructure to ensure national economic development improves the lives of the people and protects the natural environment.

• Implement an independent foreign policy based on respect for all humanity, fair trade and opposing aggression.

• Support indigenous people's right to self-determination politically and materially.

• Raise living standards with a progressive tax system.

• Promote Australian people's culture respecting diversity.

• Repair the damage done to Australia 's unique environment by greedy profiteers.

All these things are possible in Australia. They are the basis on which the Party seeks to unite workers and other people and progressive organisations in the on-going struggle against exploitation and oppression.
