Today, capitalism faces a deep structural crisis.

Socialism is a society where the resources are used democratically to provide a better life for all, based on ending the dictatorship of big business over the economy and politics.

The underlying issue is the system of capitalism itself, and under this system the best means for regulating or checking their power is not relying on a government which represents the interests of the rich but for millions of working people to become politically active in workplaces and communities through building unions and our own political party.

Capitalism is based on ruthless exploitation and competition, and leads inevitably to the development of mega monopolies.

This is what happens under capitalism - as long as corporations and the super rich own the economy and the politicians, every new generation has to fight hard just to defend itself.

While we still live in a capitalist society, we of course will fight for whatever reforms help make life better for working people.

Big business has many tools to make us pay for the crisis of their system.
