FSP

 Imagine a world where all banks and the energy industry are nationalised and under management by workers’ committees.   A world with more  public housing and rent control.   One where existing student debt is cancelled and  price controls are used to combat inflation.   Imagine too equal pay for equal work along with raised social security benefits.    Consider also a world with state as opposed to private prisons and the end of overseas military bases.  And, of course, a world in which  Ukraine’s sovereignty and right to defend itself is upheld.   

This is the state-capitalist dystopia put forward by the so-called Freedom Socialist Party in their ten point programme.   For more on the FSP see Socialist? Feminist? and Workers have no country.
