Reply To: Status of World Socialist Party (US)

I think there are enough reasons to be positive. Robbo203 mentions putting “our own house in order”, and there’s already been some good progress towards this, not only with revamping the website and IT system, but also exploring alternative ways of organising. Once we’re a bit further down the line sorting things out, we’ll be better placed to focus on how to get our views out there.

Already, our message has a wider reach now than before, with easy access for anyone online to the Socialist Standard, videos, publications and social media. Terms like ‘capitalism’ and ‘socialism’ are spoken about more in the mainstream media and by people in general now than they were just a few years ago. Our role, of course, is to push our understanding of capitalism and a future socialist society, which is a challenge, but also an opportunity in a climate where people are more receptive to questioning the system.
