Proposed Amendments to the Resolution on the War Issue [1]

1. Party parliamentary deputies shall be under obligation
to reject, stating their principled grounds, all war demands and credits
and insist on demobilisation.

2. No civil peace; intensification of principled struggle against all
bourgeois parties, also against nationalist-Grütli ideas in the labour
movement and the party.

3. Systematic revolutionary propaganda in the army.

4. Support of all revolutionary movements and of the struggle against
the war and against one’s own government in every warring country.

5. Assistance to every revolutionary mass action in
Switzerland—strikes, demonstrations—and their development into open
armed struggle.

6. The party shall proclaim the socialist transformation of Switzerland
to be the aim of the revolutionary mass struggle decided upon at the 1915
Party Congress at Aarau. This revolution is the only, and really effective,
way of liberating the working class from the horror of high prices and
hunger, and is essential for the complete elimination of militarism and
war.
