Who
We Are
|
 from
the SPUSA Statement of Principles.... THE
SOCIALIST PARTY strives to establish aradical
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. |

 What if the world
were a place where everyone had the comfortable essentials of a full
life, including satisfying work, housing, food, clothing and health
care? Plus the opportunity to learn and develop into all she/he could
be? A
world where neither the environment nor people were
exploited? pamphlet audio |

Looking Forward This May Day
by
the SPUSA National Action Committee
 Most
years, May Day is an opportunity for socialists to look backward. This
year, thanks in large part to the appearance of Occupy Wall Street
(OWS), we are looking forward. The future is, as it always has been,
filled with both the treacherous pitfalls of capitalism and the
glorious opportunities to create a world based on justice and
equality. This May Day, Socialist Party USA members will take to
the
streets all over the country to offer a vision of another, better
world, that is possible.
Clearly,
OWS is a critical movement for the future of the Left in America.
Socialists have important contributions to make to this movement.
We
can demonstrate the way in which political protest can be organized
into multiple forms of resistance to the system.
