English Translation

- 5 - 71 The right to work and the duty to work are the basis of social security The economic and social expression of the liberalist system is economic change, mass unemployment and the breakdown of peasantry. The loss of jobs is a constant threat to the lives of the creators and their families. But the European peoples feel that an economic and social system is inhumane, whose rules of play disregard the natural right of life to secure employment opportunities. A just order guarantees all professions: workers, peasants, craftsmen and merchants, civil servants and intellectual workers work and merit. It thus provides the first economic condition for general social security in place of alms and emergency measures. Social security exempts the creators from economic dependence. It includes: security of earnings, security of the evening of life, sickness, invalidity and maternity, security for widows and orphans. Uncertainty is the hallmark of proletarian life. In the liberalistic social system, the livelihoods of the creators are constantly threatened. A constant wavering of wages and prices for industry and agricultural products leads to permanent discontent, social tensions, forced auctions and wage struggles. At the same time, it prevents any just order of wages and incomes. In addition, speculative and unjustified changes in the monetary value occur, which enrich international financial capital with the savings of the creators. The new social order not only secures the job for the creator, it also ensures the return of labour by removing prices, wages and monetary values from the access of the speculators and the selfish profit-seeking of the individual. On the basis of full employment and the secure sale of agricultural production, however, a fair social order would be able to provide a comprehensive economic security against all changes in the economy.
