Trans: Abolition of Wage Labour
and Commodity Production
The purpose of the Socialist Party is to create a better
world than this one. Our goal is a totally new economic system that represents
the interests of the majority and we say this change should happen now and not
in some far-off distant undetermined future time. Putting an end to the great class
divide and its conflicts is at the core for a better world. The current economic
system where political leaders only listen to and heed the 1% instead of to the
majority is a disaster and is failing the people and planet. Socialism put the
interests of the people first on a scale never seen before. It can only happen
by a people-powered movement that who shares a commitment to the common good.
The Socialist Party chooses to imagine a better world than this and we believe
the time has come to fight for it together. Our challenge is to persuade people
to eliminate the institutions of capitalism which are a bane upon equality and
justice. If we don’t, our grandchildren will inherit a world where there is
greater divisiveness and destruction than what we are now witnessing. We seek a
true world community.
Capitalism is a competitive hierarchy to dominate and
suppress. Capitalism must have an ever expanding
economy, even if it overwhelms nature. Capitalism is powered by competition,
which grows the economy until it consumes all without satisfying anyone's
natural needs. The more we disconnect ourselves from people and nature the more
miserable and endangered life becomes. Capitalism is malignant cancer on
nature. It kills its host.
Interests are basically common. Peoples can't lose as
they're part of the common. The more we cooperate the more we know and
understand social interactions and our role in nature. A cooperative-based socialist
system is organised to maximise well-being for all people and nature and functions
within the planet ability to supply people's needs. Capitalism’s growth
compulsion has damaged the ability of the planet’s and its life to maintain itself.
This is well beyond government controlled by capitalism to save anyone from its
demise. Socialism unleashes the human potential for creative co-operation, and
shares resources and surpluses for the good of all. Evidence for the
possibilities of world socialism comes from the findings of evolutionary
biology, developmental psychology, anthropology and archaeology. People with
vision within the Socialist Party seek a humane, grassroots democracy path
towards this co-operative commonwealth. Let us all help to speed the day when
this wonderful earth and its rich resources are held in common for the benefit
of all humanity. The present world economic system is obsolete and long past
its sell by date, let’s dump this dog-eat-dog rat-race into the trash bin of
history.
Socialism may well not be perfect, idyllic, noble, or
wonderful, but it will work well enough. What anthropologists have determined
is that people far from being noble and wise are capable of being mean, unkind,
short-sighted, selfish, insensitive, stubborn, and short-tempered. A life in
socialism won’t turn people into saints. But what it does is enable ordinary
people to make a living together with a minimum of stress year after year,
generation after generation, not suffocated by a tyrannical State, where
tradition does not dictate every action of the individual, where people feel
free to express their individuality without the need to conform. An egalitarian
tribe, where merit and esteem matters, not rigid hierarchy or nepotism. The
only politics that will matter is how the human race uses and protects its
lands and waters for the betterment of our own societies, our future children,
and our fellow plant and animal species, embodying the ideal of direct,
grassroots participatory democracy. A sharing society would go a long way
towards healing the open wounds of our divided world and the ethnic and
sectarian tensions plaguing most nations. Rather than keeping food, housing,
material and intellectual property under lock and key, a world of abundance
would allow unparalleled access to health, education, and appropriate
technology.
As mass movements rally for social justice and direct
democracy, the idea of world socialism can be will the spark for change and ignite
the struggle for liberation from suicidal capitalism to the respect for
universal human rights that dissolves people’s delusions that we must all be
insular in our way of life.
