Socialism and Liberation in the United States: What we are fighting for

Socialism and Liberation in the United States is a handbook for understanding the world we live in, and a guide on how to make meaningful change based on workers’ power over the corporate elite and their capitalist system of exploitation.It outlines the basic political and ideological positions of the Party for Socialism and Liberation, a revolutionary Marxist party in the United States. The book describes the basis for a united, working-class struggle against imperialism, a system that imperils the lives and livelihoods of the majority of people in the United States and across the globe. Socialism and Liberation in the United States envisions a socialist future based upon principles of workers’ democracy, cooperation, equality, solidarity and sustainability. It argues that the workers who produce all of society’s wealth should own and control it.“The capitalist system has proven to be incapable of meeting the needs of the people—even in the richest capitalist country in history. For the people and planet to live, capitalism must go.” —The Program of the PSL
