Who
We Are
|
from
the SPUSA
Statement of Principles....
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; where 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 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. 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. The Socialist Party is a democratic, multi-tendency
organization, with structure and practices visible and accessible to
all members Join us today |

STATEMENT ON IRAN
|
FINANCIAL
CRISIS/ WALL ST. BAIL-OUT
|
 A military attack on Iran
is a real possibility. George
Bush, in the waning days of his Administration, may launch an attack on
Iran,
or Israel,
with the US
blessing, may launch such an attack on its own. Another scenario is
that this
administration may ratchet up the pressures on Iran,
leaving it to the next
administration, either Obama or McCain, to initiate a military attack
and
occupation..... full

 No to the Wall At. Bail-Out!
by SPUSA
National Action Committee
-
The
current "financial crisis" is not just a temporary setback or because
of the lack of regulation in the financial sector. The collapse of the
financial sector is indicative of the total failure of the capitalist
economy. In recent years, the leading recipients of this proposed
bailout have attempted to justify their “Washington consensus” of
decimating social safety nets, massive cuts to wages and benefits.. full
