"Real socialism is easy to understand. As Karl Marx said, "The liberation of the working class can be achieved only by the workers themselves." In other words, if the majority of society is not actively involved in making economic and political decisions, then that is not socialism.
Socialism is created when the working class takes collective control of work and society away from the powerful elite who rule us now. To become strong enough to do this, workers must have a political
organization that can help us build democratic organizations inside and outside the unions"
