Shaun Harkin in the Socialist Worker:

So the question is: How do we restructure our society to meet the needs of the vast majority of humanity and rid the planet of the scourges of war, exploitation and oppression? Socialism—a society based on workers’ control and dedicated to meeting human needs—is the alternative that we urgently need.

My only problem with the piece is that a lot of the rhetoric is hopelessly outdated. This isn’t to say that it isn’t true, but simply that it isn’t an effective way to argue a point, especially if the goal is to write a persuasive piece (although I suppose if one is receiving their news from the Socialist Worker to begin with, then it wouldn’t really matter).
