It is made up of people who have joined together because we want to get rid of the profit system and establish real socialism &#8211; a post-scarcity society of common ownership. Our aim is to persuade others to become socialists and act for themselves, organising democratically and without leaders, to bring about the kind of society that we advocate. We are solely concerned with building a movement of socialists for socialism. We are not a reformist party with a programme of policies to patch up capitalism.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div style=\"float: left; width: 100%;\"><\/div>\n<h5 style=\"text-align: right;\"><a
