We strive for democratic revolutions - radical and fundamental changes in the structure and quality of economic, political, and personal relations - to abolish the power now exercised by the few who control great wealth and the government. Socialism is not mere government ownership, a welfare state, or a repressive bureaucracy. Socialism is a new social and economic order in which workers and consumers control production and community residents control their neighborhoods, homes, and schools
That's fine and dandy for anyone who wants to be socialist, for anyone who wants to control their production and have the profits distributed among those who don't. My point is that America is not the place to have that because we were never intended to be a democracy, but a republic.
If the socialist way is so much better, why couldn't the USSR hold together? Why are the Russians so poor & why do the Cubans and Chinese try so hard to leave?
@WashingtonCleanUp You know who i feel sorry for, all the people that died for democracy, and so many conservative Americans despise democracy, just like the fascists hated it.
The working class is the major force worldwide that can lead the way to a socialist future - to a real radical democracy from below. The Socialist Party fights for progressive changes compatible with a socialist future. We support militant working class struggles and electoral action, independent of the capitalist controlled two-party system, to present socialist alternatives.
workers have the right to form unions freely, and to strike and engage in other forms of job actions; and where the production of society is used for the benefit of all humanity, not for the private profit of a few. We believe socialism and democracy are one and indivisible. The working class is in a key and central position to fight back against the ruling capitalist class and its power.
THE SOCIALIST PARTY strives to establish a radical democracy that places people's lives under their own control - a non-racist, classless, feminist socialist society... where working people own and control the means of production and distribution through democratically-controlled public agencies; where full employment is realized for everyone who wants to work
