We see the exploitative system of monopoly capitalism in direct conflict with the interests of the vast majority of the people of this country and throughout the world. The wealth of this society was and is created by working people, yet our human labor is expropriated by individual profiteers and by corporate elites who enrich themselves at the expense of those who make the products and deliver services. Working people are exploited when a portion of their human labor is stolen from them by the capitalists for the sake of profits. The relationship of the capitalist class to the working class is inevitably exploitative. This is the essence of class society. We have no common ground, no basis for friendship, no social peace with the ruling class as long as it exists.
