AN INTRODUCTION TO THE
DEMOCRATIC SOCIALIST PARTY (www.dsp.org.au)
(aka the "everything you ever wanted to know about the DSP but were to
afraid to ask" meeting)
AUGUST 31, THURSDAY 7PM
to book call marcel or arun on (03) 9639 8622
The Democratic Socialist Party has grown into the largest socialist
organisation in Australia, with branches in every capital city and several
regional centres. We are an activist based organisation committed to helping
empower people by building grass roots alternatives to the politics of
global capital.
Our members are involved in trade union struggles for better rights &
conditions and in many social and environmental campaigns. Along with the
socialist youth organisation RESISTANCE (www.resistance.org.au), we
initiated and help campaign with the national newspaper GREEN LEFT WEEKLY
(www.greenleft.org.au) to help network and build a range of struggles.
Some of our key campaigns have involved international solidarity,
particularly with progressive movements in the Asia Pacific region
(supporting groups such as Asiet www.asiet.org.au); helping to build an
ongoing and vibrant women's liberation movement through such events as
International Women's Day or Reclaim the Night (coming soon); building a
socially just environmental movement; and fighting racism against migrants
and Indigenous people.
We understand that fighting for reforms today is essential in both winning a
better world for working people and developing the confidence and
organisation of our class. But as Marxists we are ultimately fighting for a
radical change to the capitalist system that relies on the institutional
oppression and poverty of so many. We are fighting for a democratic
socialist system that will put the needs of people before profit.
Interested in finding out more? You are invited to this informal
introduction to the politics, organisation & campaigns of the DSP. The
evening will consist of a very short presentation before we throw it open
