| Socialist Party USA: 2012-2013 National
Platform |
The
Socialist Party stands for the abolition of every form of domination
and exploitation, whether based on social class, gender,
race/ethnicity, age, education, sexual orientation, or other
characteristics.
We
are committed to the transformation of capitalism through the creation
of a democratic socialist society based on compassion, empathy, and
respect as well as the development of new social structures.
Socialism will establish a new social and economic order in which
workers and community members will take responsibility for and control
of their interpersonal relationships, their neighborhoods, their local
government, and the production and distribution of all goods and
services.
For
these reasons we call for social ownership and democratic control of
productive resources, for a guarantee to all of the right to
participate in societal production, and to a fair share of society's
product, in accordance with individual needs.
As we
pursue a socialist transformation of society, we join with others in
making radical demands on the existing system: demands that challenge
the basic assumptions of a capitalist market economy while pointing the
way to a new society. Although reforms will not in themselves bring
about socialism, the fight for them will advance the cause by
demonstrating the inherent limitations and injustice of the capitalist
system. As we build the socialist movement, we organize around a
platform committed to our common and interdependent struggles and
aspirations.
