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 |

WARS ABROAD, WAR
AT HOME

by
Eric Chester, Chair International Commission
-
 The brutal
repression of the popular upsurge against Iran's ruling clique of
Islamic clerics only postpones the inevitable. Iran's theocracy has
lost the confidence of its people, as militant protests continue on the
streets of Tehran.
-
The Socialist Party USA stands with the people of Iran in demanding an
immediate end to arbitrary rule and the holding of genuinely free and
open elections. We believe that the complete separation of religious
institutions and the state is an essential prerequisite for a
democratic society. Every resident of a nation should have the same
rights and privileges, no matter what her or his religious belief may
or may not be. complete

Building a Socialist
Feminist Response to U.S.
Militarism and the Global
Economic Crisis
by the War At Home Committee
-
In this period of
rising unemployment and economic turmoil, an increasing number of
people are being drawn to radical concepts and are ready to consider
radical strategies for social change based on the link between the
severe problems we face at home, the actions of the U.S. military
world-wide, and the destructive nature of global capitalism.
Clearly, what we face right now are not only wars abroad, but also a
war at home. In both cases, masses of people are living under
siege as a result of actions by the U.S. government to perpetuate the
inhumane capitalist system. complete
