The happiness of humanity is not in the past, but in the future.

What is socialism? Socialism offers the sole solution, to the major problems which dominate all others, meaning the question of poverty and the question of exploited labour. The Socialist Party holds that the exploitation of labour, with all of its consequences will not disappear until the day the means of production –– land, machinery, and all that serves production –– will be transformed from privately-owned property into commonly-owned property.

Our fellow-workers must understand just how deeply socialism is in their interest and cannot stand aloof to a party which tells them, we bring the cure to the abuses that you suffer in society. It is of the utmost importance for a worker to know socialist principles and its methods of struggle. Any worker who genuinely investigates our teachings will be quickly convinced that they need to become a socialist, not only because they will find the satisfaction of their class interests, but also because socialism explains how social evolution itself pushes humanity towards socialism.

Why does the Socialist Party hold that only with the socialisation of the means of production can we find the solutions to workers' problems? If we study the society in which we live , we will learn that what becomes ever more constant, ever more universal, and which repeats itself . We speak of the contradiction of the continual struggle that exists between the two principal factors of any kind of economic progress: labour itself, on the one hand, and what is called capital in the economic game. Therefore, on one side we have labour disarmed and alone, represented by the working class, and on the other side all-powerful capital, under the control of the capitalist class.

Many environmentalist call for de-growth, a return to a more idyllic rural condition. They seek handicraft production where skilled artisans are at the same time workers and owners, and the only labour they exploit is their own, in cooperatives and small workshops. They perceive that the great corporations have put an end this former harmony where workers directly owned the means of production. Mighty capital dominated the individual craftsman and the small workshop and put an end to them, except in some exclusive niche corner of the market. Many saw the evils that the machinery of technology has brought and would have us destroy them. They forget what abundance they brought to the productivity of human labour, ignoring the betterment of life has been mechanisation of production. Returning to the old forms, to the old style of domesticated cottage industry of the past, would mean the giving up all the scientific and technical progress which has provided immense benefits to millions and millions.
