During two months of campaigning to lead the NDP we’ve questioned the foundation of our economic system more than all branches of the party over the past few years. Aside from this recent flurry of anti-capitalist rhetoric, it’s remarkable how little discussion in NDP circles there has been of our wealth-concentrating, ecologically destructive economic system. Capitalism is a system of minority and class rule that is based on the private ownership of the means of livelihood. One dollar one vote capitalism should be replaced with one person one vote economic democracy. All but the most reactionary party members should want capitalism to be on the agenda in the NDP leadership race.
