Join us in fighting for a socialist Australia!

The Socialist Alliance is an anti-capitalist party, formed in 2001 by eight
socialist groups that saw an urgent need for greater left unity to fight
attacks on the rights and living conditions of workers and the poor.
The Alliance stands for socialism – a democratic society run by
and for working people, not the greedy, destructive elite that now
rules. We put people before profit, the millions before the millionaires.
We believe that a society based on this principle is entirely realistic,
and necessary if humanity and the planet are to survive.
Since 2001, members of the Socialist Alliance have been active in
campaigns on a wide range of issues, from workers’ rights and global
warming to civil liberties, from refugee and gay and lesbian rights to
justice for Aboriginal Australia and international solidarity. Socialist
Alliance members are recognised leaders in these movements.
The Alliance is made up of people who, like millions of others,
are sick of being ruled by warmongers, racists, union-bashers,
and nearly identical Liberal and Labor politicians. We believe that
people themselves, by acting collectively in the workplace, the
community and the street, can develop the power to create a just and
environmentally sustainable alternative to profit-driven capitalism.
Mass people’s action helped throw the toxic Howard government
into history’s dustbin. It was a big relief, but the Rudd government –
like other ALP administrations state and federal – is only a very small
step forward. In the face of the global financial and environmental
crises, it continues to put the needs of big business before the
environment, working people and our communities. Powerful people’s
movements are needed under Labor just as much as under the
conservatives.
The Socialist Alliance stands candidates in elections at every level
of government, but unlike other parties we don’t see parliament as
the main vehicle for social change. If elected, our candidates will take
only an average worker’s wage, donating the balance to struggles for
a better society.
Join the Socialist Alliance today to help build a better Australia:
one where the economy provides useful jobs and overcomes poverty,
where politicians put people first, where the country is a world leader
in ecological sustainability, and where ordinary people not corporate
boardrooms make the big decisions about the future we need.
