THE CRISIS OF CAPITALISM is getting more serious in all aspects. The structural contradiction and moral taint of capitalist society, full of deception, fraud, hypocrisy and vanity, have been brought to light.
THE FINANCIAL CRISIS caused by the market economy of capitalism has driven the world into uncontrollable confusion.
With the passage of time the capitalist corruptness and falsity have been brought to light by its failure to have a fair distribution of wealth and employment.
The idea reflecting the desire of humankind to live in a more humane way has become more world-wide in its urgency. The truth of socialism is clearly evidenced in a new historic environment in the 21st century.
Democratic-socialism can be the most humane political-economic system that is just and worthwhile which humanity can devise to bear good fruition without fail. Socialism can be scientifically applied. The future of mankind can be ensured by socialism based on science.
SOCIALISM IS AN ECONOMIC SYSTEM IN WHICH THE MEANS OF PRODUCTION ARE COMMONLY OWNED AND CONTROLLED COOPERATIVELY.
AS A FORM OF SOCIAL ORGANIZATION, SOCIALISM IS BASED ON CO-OPERATIVE SOCIAL RELATIONS AND SELF-MANAGEMENT; RELATIVELY EQUAL POWER-RELATIONS AND THE REDUCTION OR ELIMINATION OF HIERARCHY IN THE MANAGEMENT OF ECONOMIC AND POLITICAL AFFAIRS.
SOCIALIST ECONOMIES ARE BASED UPON PRODUCTION FOR USE AND THE DIRECT ALLOCATION OF ECONOMIC INPUTS TO SATISFY ECONOMIC DEMANDS AND HUMAN NEEDS (USE VALUE); ACCOUNTING IS BASED ON PHYSICAL QUANTITIES OF RESOURCES, SOME PHYSICAL MAGNITUDE, OR A DIRECT MEASURE OF LABOR-TIME. GOODS AND SERVICES FOR CONSUMPTION ARE DISTRIBUTED THROUGH MARKETS, AND DISTRIBUTION OF INCOME IS BASED ON THE PRINCIPLE OF INDIVIDUAL MERIT/INDIVIDUAL CONTRIBUTION.
Norman Mattoon Thomas (Dec. 20, 1984, to Dec. 19, 1968) was a leading American socialist, pacifist and six-time presidential candidate for Socialist Party of America. The Socialist Party candidate for president of the United States, Norman Thomas, said in a 1944 speech, "The American people will never knowingly adopt socialism. But, under the name of liberalism, they will adopt every fragment of the socialist program, until one day America will be a socialist nation without knowing how it happened."
He went on to say; "I no longer need to run as a Presidential Candidate for the Socialist Party. The Democrat Party has adopted our platform."
Franklin Delano Roosevelt (January 30, 1882 – April 12, 1945), also known by his initials, FDR, was the 32nd President of the United States(1933–1945) and a central figure in world events during the mid-20th century, leading the United States during a time of worldwide economic crisis and world war. The only American president elected to more than two terms, he facilitated a durable coalition that realigned American politics for decades. With the bouncy popular song "Happy Days Are Here Again" as his campaign theme, FDR defeated incumbent Republican Herbert Hoover in November 1932, at the depth of the Great Depression. FDR's persistent optimism and activism contributed to a renewal of the national spirit, reflecting his victory over paralytic illness to become the longest serving president in U.S. history. In his "first hundred days" in office, which began March 4, 1933, Roosevelt spearheaded major legislation and issued a profusion of executive orders that instituted the New Deal—a variety of programs designed to produce relief (government jobs for the unemployed), recovery (economic growth), and reform (through regulation of Wall Street, banks and transportation). The economy improved rapidly from 1933 to 1937, but then relapsed into a deep recession. The bipartisan Conservative Coalition that formed in 1937 prevented his packing the Supreme Court or passing any considerable legislation; it abolished many of the relief programs when unemployment diminished during World War II. Most of the regulations on business were ended about 1975–85, except for the regulation of Wall Street by the Securities and Exchange Commission, which still exists. Along with several smaller programs, major surviving programs include the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation, which was created in 1933, and Social Security, which Congress passed in 1935.
LIKE PRESIDENT BARACK OBAMA, PRESIDENT FRANKLIN D. ROOSEVELT WAS A MEMBER OF THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY. AND, THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY HAS BEEN THE MOST HUMANE PARTY SINCE PRESIDENT FRANKLIN D. ROOSEVELT.
OUR BEST SOLUTION TO OUR POLITICAL CRISIS OF CONFIDENCE AND OUR FINANCIAL, ECONOMIC CRISIS IS TO KEEP ELECTING MEMBERS OF THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY THAT WILL CONTINUE TO MOVE THE USA CLOSER TO A HUMANE, EQUITABLE SOCIETY; AND, CONTINUE TO ENLIGHTEN THE WORLD TO THE UNIVERSAL BENEFITS OF HUMANE, EQUITABLE SOCIETIES.
