Democracy must be stronger than the power of capital. Challenging the global capitalism. Getting world into solidarity and stop Finnish polarisation. Freedom and the right to work and income for all people. Environmentally conscious Finland.
Some in the party accept the EU and others reject it. The younger generation is more pro-EU than the older.

—V.N. (Valintin Nikolaevic)
“There is no religion in which everyday life is not considered a prison; there is no philosophy or ideology that does not think that we live in alienation.”
—Eugène Ionesco (b. 1912)
“Xenophobia looks like becoming the mass ideology of the 20th-century fin-de-siècle. What holds humanity together today is the denial of what the human race has in common.”
