Socialist Party USA: Party 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.
