The
Socialist Party fully supports the just struggles of the working
class. Our cause today is a vision of humanity free of exploitation,
ignorance and strife, a cause of human freedom, peace and
brotherhood. The Socialist Party vision is one of peace and social
harmony, free forever from want, from race and national hatred and
from sexual oppression and human exploitation. That vision is a
vision of a world where the ever-expanding material and cultural
needs of the people are satisfied by an ever-expanding technology
that has freed humanity from toil. Today, the level of the means of
production makes realising this cause possible. A movement is taking
shape. The movement consists of the social activity of millions of
people to reorganise society in harmony.
With
little hope of a decent future, the millions of working people
represent a political threat to the capitalists. Labour-replacing
technology is producing a global glut of labour, both skilled and
unskilled. Computers are replacing labour. Feeding us, housing us,
taking care of our children, conceding our demands for a better life
– no longer are these things necessary elements of making a profit
for the capitalists. As production is modernised to compete on the
world market, a huge and permanent increase in unemployment results,
with all the social, political and economic consequences. Human
labour is becoming worthless. As a result, wage rates are falling and
working conditions deteriorating. Africa has been virtually written
off, consigning its peoples to absolute poverty, political anarchy
and destruction. The capitalists have reaped unprecedented profits
from these changes. Increasingly, the ruling class is making its
intentions clear. It is unable to solve the problem of growing
poverty. Therefore, it is moving to tightly control the millions who
will not starve in silence.
Revolution
must win the war for the hearts and minds of the people. The ruling
class’ tactics aim to disarm and divide the working class. When
workers unite as a class, no force on Earth can stop them from taking
what rightfully belongs to them. Our agitation and propaganda has to
arm them with the understanding that the only thing standing between
them and the wealth being generated is a tiny, vampire-like class of
billionaires. The movement has to be merged consciously with its
cause and its vision. This will not happen spontaneously. This task
falls on the shoulders of the socialists. No movement can succeed
without a cause. A cause arises as a vision of what’s possible,
based on the objective economic and social forces that are in motion.
The task of the Socialist Party is always agitation and propaganda to
reflect the history-making transformation that society is going
through.
