In the name of economic freedom it condemns
wage-slavery.
In the name of new technology it condemns poverty.
In
the name of peace it condemns war.
In the name of civilisation it
condemns famine.
In the name of rationality it condemns superstition
and religion.
In the name of the future
In the name of humanity
it demands social justice for every man, woman and child.
The
Socialist party knows neither colour, sex, nor race. It is first and
last the party of the workers, regardless of their nationality. The
Socialist party is pledged to educate, encourage and support
fellow-workers to the full extent of its ability.
The Socialist party
sprang forth from the class struggle. In the
battles of the workers in the war of the classes, in the unceasing
struggle of the workers against their exploiters every where and
wherever and however it is fought, they are always and everywhere the
battles of the Socialist Party.
The Socialist Party is the only party
of the people, the only party opposed to the rule of the plutocracy,
the only truly democratic party in the world, the only party that is
pledged to strike the fetters of economic and political slavery. The
education, organisation and co-operation of the workers is the
conscious aim and task of the Socialist Party. The writing is upon
the wall for the downfall of the capitalist system.
The
time is now clearly for the cooperative socialist commonwealth, a
society 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 for and where peace
will prevail and plenty for all will avail. The billions of exploited
poor will be rescued from the clutches of poverty and hunger. Society
will have a new birth, and its people a new destiny. These are the
ideals of the Socialist Party.
The Socialist party is organised and
run from the bottom up. There are no leaders 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 activities.
The Socialist Party
relies solely upon the persuasive power of education, knowledge, and
mutual understanding so workers are enlightenment and aroused
everywhere to the necessity of socialist revolution.
Socialism
has been the goal of the working class political movement since the
time of Karl Marx and Frederick Engels. If the modern working class
is destined to transform society, as Marx explained, then it must
create its own political party within the framework of capitalist
society to fulfill its historic mission. Education is essential.
The
goal of the World Socialist Movement has been to educate working
people in order to create a new society of the free and equal.
Democracy and education must go hand in hand. Whether within the
confines of a small organisation that seeks to transform society such
ourselves and in the future society we aspire towards.
