The Socialist Party USA, no joke, has a tagline that is simply, “precious.” BTW, Socialism is an imperative, for the children!
Our aim is the creation of a new social order, a society in which the commanding value is the infinite preciousness of every woman, man and child. ~sp-usa.org
Isn’t this in the DNC platform too?
THE SOCIALIST PARTY strives to establish a radical democracy that places people’s lives under their own control – a non-racist, classless, feminist socialist society…where working people own and control the means of production and distribution through democratically-controlled public agencies; where full employment is realized for everyone who wants to work; where workers have the right to form unions freely, and to strike and engage in other forms of job actions; and where the production of society is used for the benefit of all humanity, not for the private profit of a few. ~sp-usa.org
Is there any difference between the Socialist Party of USA and the Democratic Party except in degree?
Will corporate greed be all we value as we move further into the global economy, or will we put workers and families first, so that all jobs pay fair wages, every American has health care and corporate profits work for democracy and not the other way around?
Will we face our future as individuals, each of us asking, “What’s in it for me?” Or will we return to the central value that makes our nation great? That we are all in this together and each of has a responsibility to the common good.
The choices we make will determine not just the quality of life our children will inherit, but the fate of the world we leave behind.
To succeed for our children where we have too often failed for ourselves, we must choose a new course. Those wedded to the policies of the 70s, 80s, or 90s are wedded to the past — ideas and policies that are tired, shop worn and obsolete. We will find no answers there. ~johnedwards.com
We must have the courage to choose a new course for the common good rather than individual greed and avarice.
