It claims to ideologically struggle with the rights of life and nature, the struggle for all the oppressed-deprived-oppressed on the basis of existing power relations and legal system, property relations and economic system and religion-caste-gender identity. Its political agenda is to continue the struggle for a more egalitarian society through the establishment of a "democratic state and political system", suitable for the rights and power of the masses and the establishment of social equality, human dignity, and social justice for all citizens. The party states to represent the interests of the active masses in Bangladesh.
