The Socialist Party

Marxist socialism/communism (same thing) is when we all own the means of production and distribution (factories, utilities, natural resources etc). No ruling class. No state control. Money abolished. Voluntary working. Free access to goods and services.
class exploiting working people by acquiring the means of production and distribution (natural resources, factories etc), and then profiting by selling those working people the goods and services they need — which those same working people actually provide in the first place!

slice of the cake, we want the bakery”. Yes, let’s just get rid of capitalism and run society on a for-need not a for-profit basis. A real socialist world — no bosses, no wage slaves, just people cooperating freely. That really is ‘for the many’ — nothing else comes close.

Whenever someone calls for a new leftwing party, ask them why they support capitalism and all of its profit-driven, money-related problems, continuing. Capitalism exists to benefit capitalists. It can’t function any other way. Leftwing attempts to make it benefit the majority always inevitably fail.

More misinformation from the British Bullshit Corporation. “Communist” countries will be those where THE PEOPLE collectively own and control the means of production and distribution — NOT a privileged leader and elite using state forces to control populations. Communism means NO state oppression.

The Socialist Party are against all of capitalism’s wars. The real reason for the attacks on Iran – and why the United States and the West are behind Israel – is to maintain the balance of power in the Middle East. See our view here: www.worldsocialism.org/spgb/

Did manufacturers ever warn you that chewing a piece of gum a day can mean ingesting about 60,000 bits of microplastic a year? Synthetic gum is made from petroleum-based polymers, as are car tyres and plastic bottles. Human lungs, blood, brains and testes are already contaminated with microplastics.

Capitalism is profit-driven, money-obsessed, outdated and unnecessary. While it continues, so will the chaos, suffering and deaths it causes worldwide. Although capitalism appears invulnerable, in reality, majority support for moneyless Marxian moneyless socialism is all that’s needed to replace it.

Capitalists are making April Fools of the majority. Rising bills are once again squeezing the life out of the working class. It doesn’t have to be like this. We only have to pay bills if we continue allowing a minority to own and control the means of producing and distributing what humankind needs!

Capitalism is like an old manky threadbare pair of jeans. People keep on voting for different governments that try to patch holes while more and more keep on appearing because the trousers are totally worn-out and beyond mending. The sensible solution is to throw them away and change to a new pair.

You can stick with Labour, retry the Tories, piddle about with Farage’s party or give another pro-capitalism party (e.g. Lib-Dems, greens etc) your support. But if you really want a complete end to all of the money worries, inadequate essential services etc, the only solution is Marxist socialism!

Many in poverty will be visiting Tesco Express stores desperately hoping to obtain some free food near its expiry date. Shops’ workers and charities will get first pick. Most people’s visits will result in them getting nothing for free. Only Marxist socialism guarantees free access to what you need!
