While looking at Socialist Websites and news articles, I came across a select few groups who are displaying passion and commitment beyond any average person in their fight against New Labour and the Tories. The Student Socialist was the main one that got my attention. They campaign for free education for all and no private education because of the social class differences and the unfair targeting of the Working Class children. Only rich Middle Class sons and daughters have the ability to attend the private educating schools because of the enormous amount that is demanded from the schools.
They campaign FOR free quality education and living grants for all from nursery to university.
They campaign AGAINST racism, homophobia and other forms of prejudice.
They campaign to build and participate in the anti-war and anti-capitalist movement locally, nationally and internationally, while putting forward a socialist alternative to war and terror.
They want to fight for a democratic socialist society to replace capitalism.
A fully funded publicly owned and democratically run education system at all levels.
For universal free education from the cradle to the grave.
They have a slogan on the homepage of their magazine which states:
"Under capitalism, starvation, war, poverty and environmental destruction blight the lives of millions the world over.
At the same time the enormous wealth, resources and human talent that exists in the world is squandered"
This is a brilliant magazine that only has 1 issue every year, which is a shame, but I think the dedication and commitment required to be a student in university or any other form of education, deal with all the pressure and still stay focused on their goal of a democratic, socialist country is incredibly admirable. I salute them
