May the General Assembly of the Pirate Parties International decide the

following declaration:

Pirates see labor not just as a tradeable commodity, but also as a

person's individual achievement. Respect for human dignity therefore

commands that each person can decide freely which occupation he or she

wishes to pursue and which job to take, but also that such services be

adequately compensated.

Thanks to technological development it is no longer necessary that each

monotonous, senseless or even dangerous task be performed by humans. We

welcome and wish to promote this significant advance. Hence we consider

the goal of absolute full employment as outdated and not socially

desirable. Instead, we want to achieve that all people receive their

adequate share of the general wealth; to this end, we will consider the

introduction of a basic income guarantee.
