The party program of the TPP was socialist, emphasizing constitutional democracy and separation of power with a new Taiwanese constitution. The party had a radical economic program aiming at redistributing land to peasants and removing big landlords, abolishing big bourgeoisie and privileged classes in Taiwan, and implementing socialist programs to nationalize big companies and improve workers' rights. It also included the liberation of the Taiwanese people and regaining Taiwanese sovereignty from the Empire of Japan. Those programs were heavily inspired by Sun Yat-sen's Three Principles of the People. [2]
