Introduction to what we stand for – The Socialist Party of Great Britain Skip to content See An Introduction to World Socialism – A Post-Capitalist Society for a short video introduction to the Socialist Party. The articles listed below give an overview of the Party’s ideas and how we think the world should change. We cover how the current system that governs the world – capitalism – operates and how it inevitably causes the worst of the planet’s problems – war, poverty, starvation, environmental damage and climate change. We describe a different system – socialism – that could solve those problems and provide a better life for virtually everyone. Lastly we tackle the question of how capitalism can be ended and replaced by this better way of life. The articles are written as a sequence and a link at the end of each one goes to the next.
