What our Goal is

 No single individual really rules. A CLASS rules. The capitalist class. Like all previous class rule, capitalist rule is the rule of a tiny minority, based on the foundations of scarcity economy. The only way a minority has or can or ever did rule over the majority is either by brute force or the use of deception and lies. When we take over the economy we’ll have real democracy, social democracy. Working people will be running things in our own interests. There will be no prime ministers or presidents. Organise with us to overthrow the whole rotten system. Get people to together to fight for socialism.

 

 Capitalists own all the factories, the mines, the transport and everything we work at. We just own our debts, empty bellies and our muscles. We have to give the capitalists our muscles so we can pay our debts and fill our stomachs. But we also have the possibility of running the world to benefit the majority.

 

For socialists if human rights are to mean anything each one of us has the right to share in the social heritage of human beings by an equal right to the use and benefits of the products of the social brain and the social hand by in order to be able to develop his or her own potential, that everyone has the right to be able to develop their full potential and capacities through democracy and participation in our workplace and community, and that we all possess the right to live in a society in which human beings and nature can be nurtured by a society in which we can develop our full potential in communities based upon cooperation and solidarity. The association of producers becomes an opportunity to meet our needs by meeting each other’s needs.

 

From their stocks and shares capitalists can enjoy a windfall of rewards without lifting a finger.  Meanwhile, the people who work the hardest, the unskilled workers, domestic servants, etc., make the least amount of money. Workers must constantly struggle against unrelenting downward pressure on their standard of living. Socialism is more than being well paid for the work one does. It truly revolutionises how society operates. The capitalist system, in which a small number of capitalists are allowed to subordinate everyone else’s interests to their own pleasures, is replaced with a democratic structure in which the working class itself collectively directs the economy according to a conscious plan that was chosen after a full debate with all the relevant information and a democratic vote. In other words, a whole new culture will be created in which all of the members of society will become informed and encouraged to participate in determining the fundamental policies that will guide the direction of society. Such a transformation will allow us a qualitatively better life. It will enable us to end the anarchy of capitalism, where every individual capitalist enterprise pursues its own self-interest, with an economy that is planned to efficiently satisfy the vast majority of the population’s needs in the most sustainable manner to identify and maximise everyone’s well-being while eliminating whatever undermines this goal. A better world is indeed possible. 

 

Humankind can produce such abundance that society can be free from hunger, homelessness and backbreaking labour. The only thing standing in the way is this system of exploitation and injustice.  We invite all who see that there’s a problem and are ready to do something about it to join with us. With our organised strength, we will liberate the thinking of working people and unleash their potential energy. We can inspire fellow-workers with a vision of a world of plenty. New technology provides better and more products with less and less labour. Society now has the capacity to satisfy the needs of all.

 Radical changes in the way a society produces its wealth call for radical changes in how that society is organised. The capitalist class cannot convince the people to believe in their system while destroying their hopes and dreams. We can arouse working people with a society organised for the benefit of all. A society built on cooperation that puts the well-being of its people above the profits and property of a handful of billionaires. When the class which has no place in the capitalist system seizes control of all productive property and transforms it into the common property of all, it can reorganize society so that the abundance is distributed according to need.
