This
site contains
information
specific
to Britain's oldest socialist party,formed in 1904, The
Socialist
Party
of Great
Britain.
For an introduction to socialism and much more
information
(including introductory information) on socialism and the World
Socialist Movement, of which we
are a member see the World
Socialist
Movement website which carries information common to all the
Companion
Parties of Socialism.
The World
Socialist
Movement (or WSM) consists of people who have
organised themselves democratically with one objective: to bring about
a complete change in world society. We are made up of companion
parties
and groups in several
countries.
The WSM is a
global socialist
movement that argues capitalism
cannot meet the
needs of the majority of us, the workers (or proletariat) of the
world, no matter how much it is reformed.
To meet these
needs we contend
that capitalism
must be replaced by socialism.
This pamphlet comes at a time when many people are questioning the
destructive effects of capitalism, and also with it a rejection of
leaders and the traditional left.
This is something that can be encouraged. The aim of the pamphlet
is to show that there is another view of social change that may be a
blind spot with those who get involved with anti-capitalist, activist
or/and anarchist politics.

St.George's Hill, Surrey.Inspired by the visionary leadership of
Gerrard Winstanley, the commune's tireless, yet peaceful. attempts to
assert their right to cultivate and share the wealth of the common
land, are met with crushing hostility from local landowners and
government troops."
