WHERE WE STAND:

FIGHTING TO END CAPITALISM AND WAR

Capitalism is in crisis from the broken European economy to the crisis in Ukraine. The horrorific Israeli attacks on Gaza have shown the extent to which the USA and UK will let millions suffer to further their own interests. We have seen millions across the world take to the streets - in support of Palestine,the Arab Spring, Turkey, Brazil. Th

e SWP has played a key role in all these movements. FOR SOCIALISM

The present system cannot be patched up — it has to be completely transformed. The structures of the parliament, army, police and judiciary cannot be taken over and used by the working people. Workers create all the wealth under capitalism. A new society can only be constructed when they collectively seize control of that wealth and plan its production and distribution according to need. FOR INTERNATIONALISM

We live in a world economy dominated by huge corporations. The recent Ebola crisis in africa highlighted how even medicine companies are dominated by profit. Only by fighting together across national boundaries can we challenge the rich and powerful who dominate the globe. The struggle for socialism can only be successful if it is a worldwide struggle. AGAINST RACISM, IMPERIALISM AND OPPRESSION

We oppose everything which turns workers from one country against those from another. We oppose all immigration controls and campaign for solidarity with workers in other countries. We support the right of black people and other oppressed groups to organise their own defence and we support all genuine national liberation movements. We campaign for real social, political and economic equality for woman and for an end to all forms of discrimination against le****ns, gay men, bisexual and transgender people. REVOLUTIONARY PARTY

Those who rule our society are powerful because they are organised — they control the wealth, media, courts and the military. They use their power to limit and contain opposition. To combat that power, working people have to be organised as well. The Socialist Workers Party aims to bring together activists from the movement and working class. A revolutionary party is necessary to strengthen the movement, organise people within it and aid them in developing the ideas and strategies that can overthrow capitalism entirely. We are committed to fight for peace, equality, justice and socialism.
