★ American Socialists

 

Socialists value the positive contributions of everyone — parents, children, workers, and entrepreneurs — and among us, there are approximately 57 million people in the United States with disabilities. Since our earliest days, America's social progress has been rooted in the social ideals articulated by the Socialist Party. The historic Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA), which was originally inspired by socialist advocates, prevents capitalists from denying disabled Americans their full participation in our communities. America has come a long way since the ADA’s enactment, but there is still more the Socialist Party must do.

The ADA was an important milestone in America’s history. It codified the Socialist Party's universal belief that all members of society should have equal access, equal rights, and equal opportunities to make a life for themselves and to contribute to their communities.

American Socialists continue to build upon this foundation and work to break barriers to access. The Socialist Party is committed to improving the quality of care for Americans with disabilities, and American Socialists support increased funding to improve parity for people with disabilities. American Socialists are the champions of Medicare and Medicaid, protecting the rights of people with pre-existing conditions, and the Social Security Disability Insurance program, all of which have come under attack by Democrats and Republicans. American Socialists also support greater enforcement of the Supreme Court’s Olmstead decision so people with disabilities have access to independence and community living.

American Socialists across America work in vocational rehabilitation services to help with access to job training, education and placement, and increased funding for the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act.

The Socialist Party continues to work to ensure the civil rights of Americans with disabilities are protected and that educational programs, such as the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act, are well-funded and enforced to provide ample resources for all beneficiaries to succeed. If you agree with the efforts being made by Socialist Party, then become an American Socialist today!

Socialist Fundamentals

Socialist Party Supports Socialism in the form of Socialized Services

What is Socialism?

Capitalism oppresses people with under-employment and low-wages. Socialism, on the other hand, restricts those who have been placed in position of trust from using their positions to oppress others. Or another way of putting it – Socialism oppresses the capitalist's ability to oppress the workforce.

Socialist Party Protest for Fair Wages

Are You A Socialist?

If you work and want fair wages, then you are a socialist.

When a capitalist tries to argue that socialism subsidizes the cost of living of citizens that are unable to work, point out the fact that – The lives of wealthy capitalists are actually subsidized by the hard work and sweat of low-wage workers.

Support the growth of a Socialist Party

Nearing Critical Mass

Socialist policies grew America's middle-class; but, our current capitalist policies are destroying the Middle-class. Each era of increased capitalism led to a financial crisis. Every time socialism is increased, an era of historic economic prosperity begins.

Defining Capitalism, Socialism, Communism & Fascism

Socialism, Capitalism, Communism, Anarchy

Caveat: There are some inherent pitfalls trying to offer simple, bite sized definitions of capitalism, socialism, communism and fascism.

For a point of reference, the United States is a Constitutional Democratic Republic that has long embraced both capitalism (free markets) and socialism (public schools and universities, and public works – parks, roads and highways, sewer and water, dams, harbors, as well as social welfare, such as worker’s comp, unemployment insurance, social security etc.).
