Free Distribution

The ability to produce has long since reached the point which would allow mankind to go over, in a very short time, to free distribution of the things needed to live and to enjoy life. The technical problem of producing enough wealth for all to enjoy has been solved long ago. The problem of how to produce […]

Nationalist Nonsense

The World Socialist Movement (WSM) urges all workers to recognise their common interest in standing together as a class for the overthrow of capitalism. There are no circumstances justifying working-class support of capitalist governments or movements, including those that masquerade under the name of nationalism. Globalisation has increasingly made redundant the question of “national sovereignty”. The growth of multinational […]

No to nationalism

Today nationalism rears its ugly head around the world. It is an ideology which conceals and distorts the exploitative social relationships of capitalism.

Neither exploiter nor exploited

Our age is one of continuous discoveries in science and technology yet the problems of humanity seem to be unmanageable.  Despite global communications men and women are still divided by nationalism and racial prejudice. Science serves the ends of the capitalist system. It serves the military might of nations. It serves industrial efficiency not by satisfying community’s needs, other than by […]

Don’t be a nationalist

Capitalism is completely out of control. It is. as the World Socialist Movement has always said, a system of economic and social anarchy. Capitalism is an unplanned system. Each company chases after profits, quite without any care of how this affects others. Each nation-state (which is a gang of capitalist thieves dominating one territory) carries on regardless […]
