Help us fund the fightback

Ken Douglas, Socialist Party national treasurer

We are appealing to all readers of the Socialist to make a donation to help support a workers' paper - an independent voice for the working class for 50 years since 1964.

Throughout that time the Socialist (and its forerunner, Militant) has been at the heart of the struggles to defend all the gains the working class fought for. A free education system, the NHS, decent affordable housing, comprehensive public services, decent pensions and more.

Support

We depend solely on the support of ordinary people - the Socialist party has no rich backers. Our placards, banners and leaflets for the 18 October TUC march have cost over a thousand pounds. We think this is well worth it in order to build support for the fightback against austerity and socialist ideas but we need your help!

Can you donate £5, £10, £50, £100 or more? We can guarantee that every penny will be used in the fight for socialism.

The three main capitalist parties have no answers - they promise decades of cuts for us while the super-rich get even richer. But the days of these corrupt, self serving capitalist politicians are numbered.

Anger

As the referendum in Scotland showed, there is a burning anger against austerity and the political parties implementing it. In the pages of this paper we put forward a strategy to fight cuts and privatisation, and build a new mass workers' party that can harness that anger to end austerity.

Alternative

We say that there is an alternative - a socialist alternative. Where the enormous wealth in the world is democratically owned and controlled by the majority, by the 99%. And where it is used to build a society based on meeting the needs of everyone, of looking after the environment and creating a sustainable future.

If you agree with us, support us with a donation!

You can pay through our website at www.socialistparty.org.uk/donate, telephone 020 8988 8777, or send a cheque or postal order payable to the Socialist Party to PO Box 24697, London E11 1YD.
