Capitalism has failed to provide the basic goods and services for almost all of our people.
Capitalism is in a crisis and unemployment is increasing every year.
Capitalists have kept their profits high by reducing employment, by increasing exploitation, and by producing mainly luxury goods which most of the people cannot afford. There is more inequality in South Africa than in any other country. Capitalism has failed to improve the lives of the majority of people in South Africa, South America and many other regions of the world. The workers in these socialist countries failed to support socialism because of these problems and because the system did not bring them a good enough standard of living. The working class cannot build socialism if it does not have a programme of how to do it.
