Vote for Yourself for a Change

The Socialist Party urges you to vote for socialism this coming election day. Where we are standing, vote for our candidate; elsewhere, register your opposition to capitalism and desire for socialism by writing "SOCIALISM" across your voting paper.

If you are sympathetic towards what we stand for, we invite you to find out more by writing to our Head Office, asking for free literature. Socialism depends on you, so join in!

The middle-classes of USA don't want USA to get economically better. The middle-classes of USA conspire to support the bankruptcy of the United States by voting every 4 years for Democrats and Republicans.

What we need is a workers-council state in USA. A government ruled by workers while at the same time on the economic side: the mega corporations of USA like Wal-Mart, Pepsi, Coca Cola, Mcdonalds, General Electric, etc. owned by workers, thru the system of "workers control of production" (Workers management/workers-ownership), or "Workers stock ownership" however you want to label it.

Only under the proletarian dictatorship are real liberties for the exploited and real participation of the proletarians and peasants in governing the country possible. Under the dictatorship of the proletariat, democracy is proletarian democracy, the democracy of the exploited majority, based on the restriction of the rights of the exploiting minority and directed against this minority.

The dictatorship of the proletariat cannot arise as the result of the peaceful development of bourgeois society and of bourgeois democracy; it can arise only as the result of the smashing of the bourgeois state machine, the bourgeois army, the bourgeois bureaucratic apparatus, the bourgeois police.

Therefore, Lenin is right in saying:

"The proletarian revolution is impossible without the forcible destruction of the bourgeois state machine and the substitution for it of a new one" (see Vol. XXIII, P. 342)

Soviet power as the state form of the dictatorship of the proletariat. The victory of the dictatorship of the proletariat signifies the suppression of the bourgeoisie, the smashing of the bourgeois state machine and the substitution of proletarian democracy for bourgeois democracy

Let other people you know learn about socialism! Spread the word... the more people who know the truth, the greater the force against the capitalist system! Resistance forever!

I am not quite sure what you mean when you say

"Under the dictatorship of the proletariat, democracy is proletarian democracy, the democracy of the exploited majority, based on the restriction of the rights of the exploiting minority and directed against this minority."

You aren't saying people clock on at 8am in "their" fast food joint (presumably to sell the Peoples' Big Mac and fries, with collectors' plastic Marx toy) and tell the boss to exploit them for the new society, surely! We don't want to restrict the capitalist's rights; we want them gone - basta!

I am sure you meant to say a socialist minded working class will get rid of class society because they will usher in a society of common ownership by all society.

Actually, no you didn't. You talk of the dictatorship of the proletariat (the working class seizing state power to overthrow capitalism, in Marx's terms) and allude to a new state (Lenin's terms); you say nothing about how you define a socialist society. Since you think the USA has a peasantry, I don't think you know what capitalism is.

"The middle-classes of USA don't want USA to get economically better."

This statement does not make sense. Everyone with a certain amount of wealth does not wan't more wealth?

"The middle-classes of USA conspire to support the bankruptcy of the United States by voting every 4 years for Democrats and Republicans."

While the government does bankrupt these people, it is not done through voting. Voting is only an illusion. In reality, the passive acceptance is what keeps the state going.

"What we need is a workers-council state in USA. A government ruled by workers while at the same time on the economic side"

What we need is no state. Anyone who wants a government can set one up, but it can't coerce.

"the mega corporations of USA like Wal-Mart, Pepsi, Coca Cola, Mcdonalds, General Electric, etc. owned by workers, thru the system of "workers control of production" (Workers management/workers-ownership), or "Workers stock ownership" however you want to label it."

But that is how it currently is, since technically a CEO is a worker. If a CEO/manager/etc. is not, you are logically advocating theft for these ends.

"Only under the proletarian dictatorship are real liberties for the exploited and real participation of the proletarians and peasants in governing the country possible."

Is slavery freedom? No, your "dictatorship" means that people aren't free. It just means exploitation.

"The dictatorship of the proletariat cannot arise as the result of the peaceful development of bourgeois society and of bourgeois democracy; it can arise only as the result of the smashing of the bourgeois state machine, the bourgeois army, the bourgeois bureaucratic apparatus, the bourgeois police."

Oh noes, advocation of violence. Defend yourself from the state, until they stop oppresing you, but DON'T BUILD A NEW ONE! Otherwise, you will get an Orwellian style Animal Farm.

" Spread the word... the more people who know the truth, the greater the force against the capitalist system! "

1. Sorry, this is not the truth.
2. Capitalism implies freedom, unless there is a state.

Sorry, abolishing capitalism requires violence.
