For the first time in nearly a century, working people in this country do not have a mass party that even pretends to be on their side. The working class needs to build a party of its own. The working class needs the build a mass organisation that fights for real socialism. Real socialism has nothing to do with the brutal monstrosity of a society that was built by Stalin and collapsed under Gorbachev. Socialism is a system of planned production for human need, not profit.
Socialism is the only way to end the horror of pollution and ecological destruction.
Socialism will mean that science and technology will be harnessed to liberate humanity, not exploit them, make them redundant or carbonise them with brutish weapons of mass destruction. Socialism is the answer to the wars, anarchy and crises of capitalism. It is the only hope not only of the world's working class, but also for all of humanity. The Communist Party is fighting to make that hope a reality. That is why we are standing in these local elections - to get our message to as many people as we possibly can.
