Economic Order
Restore Europe rejects both unrestricted capitalism and centralized socialism. Its economic ideal is distributist in ownership and corporatist in organization.
Positions
This catalogue answers a narrow question: what does Restore Europe hold on this issue? It does not replace the manifesto. The manifesto sets out the worldview; this sets out searchable, topic-by-topic positions.
Where Catholic moral teaching is clear, Restore Europe generally adopts it as the moral baseline, and states civil-law implementation separately. One departure is recorded explicitly: on capital punishment Restore Europe takes the older traditional allowance for exceptional cases rather than the contemporary abolitionist position.
The catalogue distinguishes the constitutional order Restore Europe seeks from European law as it currently stands. Several positions — on nationality, on deprivation of citizenship, on speech, on the public standing of religion and on capital punishment — would require constitutional or treaty change before they could be enacted in particular European states. Where that is so, the entry says it.
Version 0.2 settles the questions version 0.1 had left open: the European institutional relationship, asylum, deportation, wages, taxation, pensions, housing, labour representation, digital identity and currency, biometric surveillance, genetic engineering, sentencing, the energy mix and every standing question of foreign policy. Where a v0.2 formulation revised an earlier entry, the newer text governs.
Every question in this catalogue carries a position. Entries marked Derived follow the direction of the manifesto without their implementation being fixed, and several name the legal or treaty change they would require. Positions are revised as the movement decides; the version and date above say which text you are reading.
9 of 89 positions match.
IV
Ownership, enterprise, credit and the dignity of labour.
Restore Europe rejects both unrestricted capitalism and centralized socialism. Its economic ideal is distributist in ownership and corporatist in organization.
Property is a source of independence and responsibility. The answer to concentration is wider ownership, not the abolition of property.
Housing should principally serve habitation and community rather than function as an endlessly appreciating financial asset.
Taxation is legitimate for the common good but should be fair, family-sensitive, non-confiscatory and compatible with broad ownership, productive work and subsidiarity.
A mixed pension system should combine basic old-age security with occupational provision, personal savings, family property and intergenerational responsibility.
Housing should principally serve habitation and community, with policy aimed at widespread family ownership rather than permanent financial extraction.
V
What may be built, what should be deployed, and what must remain within reach.
Lawful cryptocurrency ownership and transfer should remain permitted, while fraud, theft and abusive centralized custody remain regulated.
VII
Authority, its limits, and the treatment of those who break the law.
Regulated civilian firearm ownership for lawful purposes, under licensing, training and secure-storage requirements.
IX
Stewardship of an inheritance that was not made by us.
Renewable energy should be supported where technically sound, economically reasonable and compatible with landscapes, communities and grid reliability.
