"Bernie Sanders' campaign briefly got America -- mostly its
18-year-olds who could vote for the first time and its 65-year-olds who
hated them for it -- talking about socialism. But for all the discussion
of his "radical" policies, Sanders still wants to reform capitalism --
the Socialist Party wants to overthrow it. Their goal is a complete
restructuring of society, or in their words,
"a new social and economic order in which workers and consumers control
production and community residents control their neighborhoods, homes,
and schools."
Socialism, like prohibition, was once a powerful force in American politics (over 1,000 socialists were elected to various offices in Eugene Debs' day),
but has since waned to a fringe. Socialist Party USA was founded in
1973, and got 4,430 votes in 2012. They compete with many, many
other socialist and communist parties for attention, because if there's
one thing socialists truly love, it's holding lifelong grudges over the
interpretation of something Trotsky once scribbled down on a cocktail
napkin.
The Socialist Party calls for a move to an economy based on need
rather than profit, a vast reduction in American military power, free
education, government healthcare, major environmental reforms, improved
animal rights, a 30-hour work week, and other transformative policies. Their candidate is 41-year-old Mimi Soltysik,
who holds a bachelor's degree in political science and a master's in
public administration, has extensive experience as a community organizer
working with programs like clothing drives for human trafficking
victims, and spent over a decade playing in a band, the last of which is most obvious if you look at him."
Why, briefly, should our readers consider voting for you?
"We're actually telling folks that, as opposed to looking to
candidates to provide the solutions to the problems, they should look to
one another. Socialism isn't something that can or should be
implemented from the White House. It's a movement led by the workers, by
the community, by the people."
