Socialism is almost globally misunderstood and misrepresented.
People tend to accept as true the things they hear over and over again. But repetition doesn't make things true. That takes more words than just accepting the status quo. The World Socialist Movement is an organization which began with the founding of the Socialist Party of Great Britain in 1904. The Companion Parties of Socialism, which make up the World Socialist Movement, are those parties sharing an understanding of what socialism means, how to establish socialism, and a scientific analysis of past and current society.
