To Fellow-Workers Fraternal Greetings

To all who suffer the torments of capitalist exploitation and oppression, hope of the workers lies in their socialist knowledge. We call upon the workers to think. We oppose with venom the political careerists who treat the working class with contempt and who preside over the slaughter of millions of our class. They have never had the interests of the working class at heart.

Socialists are determined people. We know what we want and we know how to get it, and nothing will stop us. The world is rotten with capitalism and the immediate future looks grim and difficult. But, comrades and workers, do not despair, the future is in your hands. We have a message for May Day . It is “The world for the Workers." The day of the social revolution is getting closer. Friends, we are doing our share. When are you going to do yours?

But what distinguishes the Socialist Party from all other organisations is that our members constantly point out that far more than trade union activity or political reforms are needed to achieve a decent world; one without money or a wages system where the means of production will be owned by society and can therefore be used to satisfy people’s needs instead of being cramped by the dictates of the market.

What is needed for such a social revolution is a majority of working men and women understanding what Socialism entails and determined to establish such a system. This understanding will grow (is growing) out of the collective experience of workers under capitalism —a process which socialists attempt to encourage by their propaganda activities. So even while socialists are engaged in the struggle over wages and working conditions, they never cease putting forward Socialism as an immediate demand. Far from standing back from the day-to-day struggles of the working class, socialists are involved in these efforts —and complement them with a socialist perspective.
