The Waffle Manifesto: For an Independent Socialist Canada http://www.connexions.org/CxLibrary/Docs/CX5372-WaffleManifesto.htm Publisher:  Waffle Movement Year Published:  1969   Resource Type:  Article/Report/Letter The founding statement of the Waffle group within the New Democratic Party. Abstract:  Excerpt: Our aim as democratic socialists is to build an independent socialist Canada. Our aim as supporters of the New Democratic Party is to make it a truly socialist party. The achievement of socialism awaits the building of a mass base of socialists, in factories and offices, on farms and campuses. The development of socialist consciousness, on which can be built a socialist base, must be the first priority of the New Democratic Party. The New Democratic Party must be seen as the parliamentary wing of a movement dedicated to fundamental social change. It must be radicalized from within and it must be radicalized from without. The most urgent issue for Canadians is the very survival of Canada. Anxiety is pervasive and the goal of greater economic independence receives widespread support. But economic independence without socialism is a sham, and neither are meaningful without true participatory democracy.
