Our aim is the creation of a new social order, a society in which the commanding value is the infinite preciousness and free and full actualization of every person.
What We Stand For
From the SPUSA Statement of Principles...The Socialist Party USA strives to establish a radical democracy that places people's lives under their own control -- a classless, feminist, socialist society free of racism, sexism, homophobia or transphobia, in which people cooperate at work, at home, and in the community.
Socialism is not mere government ownership, a welfare state, or a repressive bureaucracy. Socialism is a new social and economic order in which workers and consumers control production and community residents control their neighborhoods, homes, and schools. The production of society is used for the benefit of all humanity, not for the private profit of a few. Socialism produces a constantly renewed future by not plundering the resources of the earth.

September 21st: Labor Working Group Webinar - Being the Change: A Conversation with Teamsters Mobilize About the Future of Radical Labor 2:00 pm ET/ 11:00 am PT Register here
The rise of higher profile national union activity has brought a reckoning for business friendly leadership increasingly distrusted by a more radical rank-and-file, eager for democratic organizational decision making and fairer deals for workers. Teamsters Mobilize has been at the forefront of this struggle within the IBT, being born out of anger over the recent contract process with UPS. A panel of TM members joins the Labor Working Group to discuss their beginnings, the efforts to grow their ranks, and where they see the larger radical labor movement heading.
