Who Here Is A Socialist?
- Thread starter Anarcho Union
- Start date
Seriously say, I remain shocked when I see the poll results from this thread.
If you create a socialist party has 35% chance.
With a serious propaganda and taking into account people's ignorance may be winning the election.
And you have no idea what that means. :itold:
People (some people) live in a pipe dream.
Psycho. Most of us don't have access to other sources.
My local library is full of chic lit.
I'll start a discussion on the matter.

If you would have read my answer you would have understood , to me, what it meant. I will again try to let you understand what it means, to me. Anytime a government must give ANY aid, money, help or whatever to their citizens then that is a form of socialism, just like Social Security is.
I apolagize for my blowout on wiki. His response is what made me angry.
im deeply sorry

The International Socialist Organization (ISO) is a revolutionary socialist organization in the United States that identifies with the politics of International Socialism, a form of Trotskyism, and the Marxist political tradition that American Trotskyist writer and activist Hal Draper called "socialism from below".[1]
The ISO is a revolutionary organization that advocates the replacement of the global capitalist system with socialism, which it defines as a system where the working class owns and controls the wealth (use-value) created by their labor. It maintains that just as capitalism is a global system, so too must the struggle for socialism be international in scope. According to the ISO's definition of socialism, the former Soviet Union, Eastern Bloc, China, and Cuba are examples of state capitalism rather than socialism. While the ISO declares that it supports struggles for economic, political, and social reforms as a means to improve the immediate conditions of the working class and as a means to build the confidence of this class, it also maintains that capitalism's oppression cannot be eliminated until it is replaced by socialism. [2]
[edit]Strategy
The ISO considers itself a Marxist organization, and advocates the self-emancipation of the working class. While it supports existing trade unions as essential components of the workers' struggles, it maintains that workers need to organize themselves independently to make the union leadership fight for the workers' rights. The ISO also maintains that racism, sexism, and other forms of oppression are perpetuated by the capitalist system to keep the working class divided against itself, and therefore supports struggles for equality and civil rights. The ISO also identifies itself as a Leninist organization because it calls for the formation of a revolutionary party by the most militant workers, and states that it is working to build the foundations for such a party.
