A New Metzism; Participatory Metzism, the Future of the CPX.

Changes are happening in Xsampa. This much is quite clear. Whether it be empowering PAX, continuing the Red-Green Revolution, or even scheduling elections, these last few years have been certainly eventful. However, changes are not just happening to the country but even to the Party. For nearly 200 years, the CPX has espoused traditional Metzism-Leonidism. However, ever since the days of Comrade Ladakh, it's clear that there has always been a reformist bent. A break away from tradition. The embracing of cultural progressivism, and gradually loosening state control over Xsampans. Then came the April Spring, which saw civil liberties radically expanded, allowing for Xsampans to freely practice religion, freely organize in regards to unions, and radically expand social equality. Yet even by the April Spring, the CPX claimed to commit to Metzism-Leonidism. Then came Comrade Wangchen, who enacted market socialist reforms, breaking away from the traditional planned economy, and Comrade Aurousseau who strengthen workers control over this new market socialism, and now Comrade Bhutia, who has enacted strong liberalizations. It's even gotten to the point where it's joked in the CPX that the CPX from 200 years ago was revisionist. It's quite clear that the CPX does not exactly embrace a traditional outlook on Metzism-Leonidism. 

Of course, this splintering from traditional Metzism-Leonidism has seen critique. From foreign revolutionaries, from more conservative communists, and from dogmatics. However now? Now there is no denying it. The CPX is fundamentally no longer a Metzist-Leonidist Party. And it seems the CPX has looked to embrace this. It has put forward a new manifesto, a new variant of Metzism. Participatory Metzism. Below is the manifesto of Participatory Metzism.

While Participatory Metzism only exists in Xsampa so far, it looks to present itself as a truly democratic alternative to capitalism and state oriented socialism. It is a vision of a democratic, decentralized revolution for the workers. Where power is not vested in plutocrats or bureaucrats, but in the hands of the Proletariat, who must, and shall govern via worker councils. The empowerment of the Proletariat does not come from unelected bureaucrats, or the bourgeoisie. The Proletariat must be guaranteed a true democracy. Democracy is the cornerstone of socialism, from local communes to national assemblies, the Proletariat can only break free of their chains if they hold Participatory Power. 

However, the Proletariat cannot truly be freed of their chains under a planned economy. The state is not the Proletariat, but merely represented by the Proletariat. Capitalism continues to remain an exploitative economic system, enslaving the Proletariat. It is fundamentally incompatible with human dignity, and must be rejected. However, markets must be redefined, to not serve plutocrats and the bourgeoisie but to serve the Proletariat, and human need. Worker cooperatives are imperative to Participatory Metzism, replacing centralized state control, and replacing capitalist enterprises, ensuring that all wealth is redistributed, and all who make wealth achieve the fruits of their labour. While market mechanisms are to exist under Participatory Metzism, they are to be under strict control of the Proletariat. They will be under democratic regulation, ensuring that they serve the Proletariat, and ensure a focus on human need, redefining Market Socialism indefinitely.

The role of the state in Participatory Metzism is not some abstract entity, to be destroyed, but it is a tool, for the Proletariat. The state is to become a servant of the people. The state will encourage the formation of democratic, self managed, worker owned cooperatives and enterprises in a democratic economy. However under Participatory Metzism, the state must be democratic, and political pluralism is inseparable, ensuring that the needs, concerns and voice of the Proletariat is never silenced. No political party that claims to represent the Proletariat must hold a monopoly on power. As such, bureaucratic centralization must be dismantled, and crippled to ensure that the state serves the people, and not the people serving the state. At every level of society, a Participatory Democratic Society must be not only enacted, but guaranteed.

The role of the global Proletariat remains the same. Emancipation. Any imperialist interference, whether it be from capitalism, state socialists, or fascists must firmly be rejected. The global Proletariat must not be abandoned, and solidarity must be shown across Terra with the Proletariat, with our vision being one of a diverse world, where socialists thrive and respect each other, rejecting hegemonic socialism. Participatory Metzism advocates for solidarity with all oppressed peoples, from fascism to autocratic socialism, to oppressive capitalism, socialist internationalism remains a core tenet of Participatory Metzism.

However, Participatory Metzism is not short sighted. This planet is shared by the Proletariat. That is why we must care, and protect the environment. The economic goals of Participatory Metzism is not to only satisfy human need, but protect and restore the environment for future generations.

With the CPX embracing Participatory Metzism, and solidifying the rejection of traditional Metzism-Leonidism, the CPX has embraced a socialism of the future. Perhaps in time, Participatory Metzism will grow beyond Xsampa, but for now, it shall proudly call Xsampa home.
