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

 The unfolding events
in Tibet are a tragedy. The Chinese government has occupied Tibet for
more than fifty years, using every conceivable method to incorporate
the occupied territory into an integral part of China. Tibetan cultural
and religious sites have been desecrated and Buddhist monks have been
forced to sign a pledge of allegiance to China. In its desire to
extract the valuable natural resources of Tibet, the Chinese government
has ignored essential environmental safeguards. more |
