So far, there's a scathing Weekly Worker critique of the new BRS here:

But there are other points in the program up for discussion as well.

I'll focus on what the Weekly Worker article doesn't cover, since I more or less agree with the WW critique. That being said, this means my own notes and critique won't go in the same order as the BRS.

I'll start with the Left-Wing Programme:

- "Outlaw mass redundancies in viable enterprises" probably inspired by Die Linke's own demand
- Greater fusion research not relevant to class struggle even as a political struggle
- Stumbles upon calling for STV instead of MMP or closed-list
- "Make MPs subject to re-election by petition of the electors" sounds vague
- Union rights for police and security apparatus is a plus
