That the socialization of land be realized, private ownership
of land be abolished, all the land be proclaimed common property
of the people and turned over to the toiling masses without
compensation on the basis of equal right to the use of land.
All forests, mines, and waters which are of social importance, as
well as all living and other forms of property, and all
agricultural enterprises, are declared national property.

of working conditions, the highest department of national economy,
which is the first step in achieving the ownership by the Soviets
of the factories, mines, railroads, and means of production and
transportation.
3. To confirm the decree of the Soviets transferring all banks to
the ownership of the Soviet Republic, as one of the steps in the
freeing of the toiling masses from the yoke of capitalism.

and the exploiting classes shall be disarmed.
