Propaganda is a major activity for the WSM, although the size of the WSM currently prevents significant spread of our propaganda. There was a time when the vast majority believed that the earth was flat. Some decided to review the facts. Many people now do not believe that the earth is flat. FT evidences absolutely no understanding of what the WSM has to say.
Socialism means far more individual liberty than workers can possibly have under capitalism.
Freedom or Slavery. And if one studies slavery, e.g. U.S.S.R., China, Rumania, Albania, Cuba, Attila the Hun, you will inexorably discover the core evil of socialism. The WSM has never considered the Welfare State to be anything but a capitalist measure to prevent socialism. Nor has the WSM at any time promoted any of the concepts of the Welfare State, such as state sponsored education, state welfare payments, old age security schemes, unemployment insurance, state paid medical coverage. In the few cases where the state does control production, it is simply to benefit the other private owners of the means of production.
