Socialism
· The planet earth and its resources are the common heritage of all humankind
· Society is capable of producing an abundance of all the things we need so we need not be restricted by the size of our wages
· Capitalism has brought us to the threshold of a permanent golden age for our species, where the individual needs of each and every one of us can be met by existing technology
· We have at our disposal the potential to live truly fulfilling lives according to our inclinations.
· For the working class, in the present age of potential plenty, rationing by the money system is an outdated way of distributing goods.
· In an age when we could produce for use without anyone going short, producing for sale and profit is an obstacle to the real satisfaction of human needs and desires.
· Socialism would mean the earth and its resources owned in common by the entire global community.
· With the natural and technical resources of the world held in common and controlled democratically, the sole object of production would be to meet human needs
· Democracy in Socialism will mean everybody having the right to participate, in deciding what is produced and how global resourceswill be used.
· Productive activity will be chosen and undertaken voluntary by human beings, with a view to producing the things they need in order to live and enjoy life, without any concern for capital investment, profit, wages, stock market or share holders.
· There will be no class of wage workers to produce profits for the minority
· Everybody would have free access to the goods and services
· Socialism will mean an end to buying, selling and money.
