Well, I have shopped around
Well, I have shopped around and I have not found any other group able to provide a real definition of socialism more accurate than the World Socialist Movement which is composed of several companion parties, and I know and I have known many groups, and many of them have a much larger membership than the WSM.We can do like the attorneys do using the Socratic method, we can take all the elements that compose the definition of socialism and apply them to the socialist party case, and we can win the case, and we can look in the disperse works of Marx and Engels on their general definition of socialism and we can find a big similarity. When you find anything better let me know There are hundred of groups and personalities who have declared themselves of being socialists but they do not pass the test and most of them end on supporting one form or another of state capitalism or reformist trend Talking about artist who declared themselves as socialist, we have the case of the Puerto Rican-American Ricky Martin who have declared in public that he is a socialist and that he supports Fidel Castro and Hugo Chavez can he pass the test ? Can he be accepted as a member of the socialist party ? I do not think we can admit peoples with political ambiguities, at the end they will leave the party, in the same manner that peoples with religious believes will also leave the party, or accepting peoples that support state capitalism. I have seen many burnt out in this process
