Bill of Rights Socialism
Socialism is a common-sense path to a fairer, more prosperous and more democratic USA. Socialism is also a desperate necessity as capitalism and its unrelenting drive for profits threaten to make our planet uninhabitable. Working families in America – the 99% - between us create all the products and services that make our country the richest nation in the history of humankind. It doesn’t make sense that these collectively produced resources are owned and controlled by a tiny handful of billionaires. The fight for socialism is a dynamic process to fulfill the vision of a future of peace, justice and fairness for our nation and our world.

Are we seeing a turning point? While Trump threatens to send troops to quell dissent, establishment types like former Secretary of Defense Jim Mattis strongly object. In a short period of time for cases of police brutality, the four police officers responsible for George Floyd's death have been charged—directly due to the pressure from the streets. And the nature of the demands is changing. In addition to demanding policing reforms and disbanding of police departments, protesters are calling for systemic change, saying, "Vote them out!" and "Down with the electoral college!" As one sign says, "The system isn't broken....

AHi Braden, Before I get to your allegations of censorship, I want to clear up a couple of misconceptions. First, we do not seek to rule a single-party state. Socialism in the United States will almost certainly involve multiple parties, sharing a basic vision of society even though they differ on how to best implement those principles (just as most Democrats and Republicans basically agree on capitalism). Second, socialism doesn't mean that everyone makes the same amount of money. It means that the working class, which includes everyone from fast food workers to doctors and engineers, will receive the full value that its labor produces. Since we'll no longer have to hand over half of the value we produce to...
