English term or phrase: plank
If the movement’s origins are internationalist, so are its demands. The three-plank programme of Ya Basta! in Italy, for instance, calls for a universally guaranteed ‘basic income’, global citizenship, guaranteeing free movement of people across borders, and free access to new technology — which in practice would mean extreme limits on patent rights (themselves a very insidious form of protectionism).
