PLENTY FOR ALL

 If you stop to think of it, you really know nothing of socialism. Your masters  have taken good care that you shouldn't learn the truth about it. Why? Because as long as they can keep you busy shouting against socialists, the masters are safe in their saddle upon the backs of the working people. Any vision of the possibility of better things makes the present misery more intolerable, and spurs those who suffer to the most energetic struggles to improve their lot. An exploited wage worker, who catches a glimpse of what work and life might and ought to be, finds the drudgery and the squalor of existence almost unbearable. For the bosses it is better to distort what socialism means.

That is what the Socialist Party advocates. Socialists do not preach and practice violence and murder. On the contrary, the socialists hold life as sacred. The Socialist Party values human life. In fact, no one values it more. Socialism means opposing violence, by whomever committed, even if it be by the government. The government has no more right to murder than the individual. 

That's why we wish  to change the present order of things where everyone is divided, and where there is wholesale slaughter in the pursuit of the dollar, with blood shed in the field, factory and workshop. The poverty, misery and bitter warfare, the crimes, suicides and murder committed every day of the year should convince any person of intelligence that in present society we have plenty of Law, but little order or peace. Crimes of every kind happen every day. Is it not rather misery and desperation that drive people to commit such acts? Does a millionaire go out on the street and  rob you of a few dollars? Oh, no. Instead he builds a factory and robs his workers in a way that is much safer, more profitable and within the law.

 According to the mainstream media socialism stands for destruction.  Socialism does stand for the destruction of those institutions that are keeping humanity in bondage and that are robbing mankind of the right to the use of the necessities of life. Viewed from the standpoint of the capitalist whose aim in life is wealth and power caring only for cents and dollars, socialism is  impracticable. But measured by its true and real usefulness to society, socialism is the most practical proposition. It is a theory of human development which lays stress upon the economic  aspect of social relations granting that the cause of society’s evils is a material one. The Socialist Party sincerely aims at a radical change in society and strives to free humanity from the scourge of dependence and misery. 

What does the Socialist Party seek? When you understand that, you will then be able to decide for yourself who are your enemies and who are your friends. The Socialist Party says that it is not necessary to have poverty, war and widespread disease in the world. It says that we are cursed with these evils because a handful of people have monopolised the planet and its wealth. But who produces that wealth? Who builds the roads, railtracks and runways, who mines the ores, who toils in the fields and sweats in the factories? You know the answer yourself. It is the workers who produce all that we have in the world.

 The Socialist Party say: The products of labour should belong to the producers. The industries should be to satisfy the needs of the people instead of ministering for profit, as at present. Abolishing monopoly in land and in the sources of production. Do away with capitalism and introduce free and equitable distribution. That, in turn, would do away with laws and government, as there would be no need for them, government serving only to conserve the institutions of today and to protect the masters in their exploitation of the people. It would abolish war and crime, because the incentive to either would be lacking. It would be a society of real freedom, without coercion or violence, based on the voluntary communal arrangement of "To each according to needs; from each according to ability."
