“Read! Think! Study!”

The weakness of single-issue social movements is that they do not have an overall view of the socio-economic crisis, and therefore they do not give an overall solution. There are periods of time in the course of human history which prompts men and women to depart from the old ways and begin to envision a world based upon “Each for all and all for each”. It is no utopian dream, no the product of imagination or mirage to vanish, but a theory of life in which the humblest individual secures life, liberty, and happiness. The Socialist Party concerns itself with the possible, with the practical. Its struggle is the struggle for freedom, for socialism. A worker should be ashamed to follow leaders. The Socialist Party is first and last the party of the workers, regardless of their nationality. It matters not where our fellow wage-slaves live or seek to go to live. The battles of the workers in the class-war, wherever and however fought, are always and everywhere the battles of the Socialist Party. The message of socialism is “Enough is enough. There must be change.” Now is the time for the workers of the world to assert their political power, to demonstrate their unity and solidarity. We are not here to play the dirty game of capitalist politics. Capitalism, founded on the slavery and exploitation of the masses, can only rule by corrupt means. The Socialist Party stands squarely upon its class principles in making its appeal to the workers. It is not begging for votes, nor bargaining for votes. It is not in the vote-catching market. It wants votes but only of those who recognise it as their party. To be sure, we want all the votes we can get but only as a means of developing the political power of the working class in the struggle for freedom, and not that we may indulge in the spoils of office. Our fellow- workers have never yet made use of their political power. They have played the game of their masters for the benefit of the master class - and how many, disgusted with their own blind and stupid performance are renouncing politics and refusing to see any difference between the capitalist parties that perpetuate class rule and the Socialist Party organised by the workers themselves as a means of wresting the control of government and of industry from the capitalists. There is but one issue for the Socialist Party - the unconditional surrender of the ruling class. To this end the Socialist Party has been organised; to this end, it is banding all its energies and resources; to this end, it makes its appeal to our fellow- workers.

In the name of the workers the Socialist Party condemns the exploitation of the capitalist system, it condemns wage-slavery, it condemns poverty, hunger and famine, it condemns war and the murder of men women and children, it condemns ignorance and in the name of humanity it demands social justice for every man, woman, and child. There is no hope under the present decadent system. If a worker who still votes for the Tories or the Labour Party or Nationalists is a class traitor and will reap what he or she has sown.  We in the Socialist Party shall steadily move forward to a harmonious co-operative society having conquered political power and transfer the title deeds of the mines and mills and factories from the owners and investors to the workers to be operated for the common good. The education, organisation and co-operation of the workers, the entire body of them, is the conscious aim and the self-imposed task of the Socialist Party. It is the working class coming into consciousness of itself, and no power on earth can prevail against it in the hour of its complete awakening. In the coming social system based upon the common ownership of the means of life and the production of wealth for the use of all instead of the private profit of the few, for which the Socialist Party stands, peace will prevail and plenty for all will abound in the land. The brutish struggle for survival will end, and the millions of exploited poor will escape the clutches of poverty and famine. There will be leisure for all and the joys of life for all. Everyone will have an equal chance to achieve success and stature in life.

The Socialist Party has no leader and there never can be unless the party deserts its principles and ceases to be a socialist party. Each member has not only an equal voice but is urged to take an active part in all the party activity. Each branch meeting is a study session. The party relies wholly upon the power of education and knowledge.

Ignorance is slavery. Intelligence is freedom.
