Global
change Why we need global change. To solve the many problems
confronting humanity what is needed is a change in the basis of world
society from existing class ownership to a world in which the Earth's
resources have become the common heritage of all. Think globally, act
locally, say the Greens.

The
Socialist
Party
of Great Britain
was
100
years old
on 12 June 2004.
In other words, the Party has been active for virtually the
whole of the Twentieth Century. And it has been an extremely turbulent
and destructive century, with capitalism throwing off, one
after another, the restraints of religion, morals and even simple human
kindness in the pursuit of power and profit.
Progress in science, technology and industry has been staggering.
The production
of human misery and death in the world has been appalling.
You really need to get involved with a real alternative rather
than
trying the same old tired and tried remedies.
Capitalism cant be
reformed nor can it be gradually whittled away.for your own
sake,as well as the planet's sake, check us out.

Waiting

Turning
Left - or going round in circles? We in

A hundred years

Vote for a Case not a Face
A
hundred years of the Labour Party
It
started
as a
group representing the unions
in parliament, acquired
grand
revolutionary
pretensions, and later dropped
them. What was the PLP
really
about,
and
did it ever even represent workers’
interests? ..More
