FOREIGN POLICY
"Democracy, equality, and equal rights do not fit well with dominance of one race by another,
much less with genocide, settler colonialism, and empire."

much less with genocide, settler colonialism, and empire."

The Altruist Party begins from one truth:
Security purchased at the expense of justice is borrowed time.
A nation cannot claim safety
while ignoring the rights, dignity, or future of others.
Power divorced from principle corrodes itself.
Foreign policy, therefore, must align national interest with common interest.
Strength and legitimacy are not rivals;
they are the two pillars that keep peace standing.
Diplomacy is not charity.
It is strategy practiced in the open --
We honor sovereignty, yet reject conquest.
We recognize hard power, yet elevate lawful power.
We engage boldly, but only within a framework of:
No state, however large, can solve borderless crises alone.
Multilateral institutions are not obstacles to influence;
they are multipliers of durable influence.
Every state — big or small — carries agency and responsibility.
Inclusive coalitions turn marginal voices into system-shapers.
Our foreign policy goals:
We practice principled pragmatism:
adapting to circumstance without surrendering core values.
Morality is not an adornment — it is the long game of strategy.
The Altruist Party judges success not by territory gained
but by futures secured;
not by rivalries inflamed
but by partnerships that outlive leaders.
A foreign policy guided by altruism does not weaken the republic;
it fortifies it --
for a nation that upholds justice abroad
strengthens democracy at home.
