WHAT WE STAND FOR

NO TO CUTS

Austerity is a political choice.  But politicians choose to inflict pain on communities via cuts to vital services, closure of facilities and council tax hikes in order to protect the 1%. TUSC Councillors, MSPs or MPs would never vote for cuts or council tax rises. We would set no cuts, needs budgets which put the needs of our communities first.

PAY RISES, JOBS, HOMES

The pandemic has caused a devastating cost of living crisis. Yet the capitalists managed to bail themselves out while making the working class pay for their crisis. Socialists would campaign for  massive investment in Pay, jobs and homes for our communities.

END THE COST OF LIVING CRISIS- FIGHTBACK AGAINST THE ENERGY PRICE HIKES

Whilst our bills are skyrocketing, for food, services and especially energy, gas and electricity, the rich big businesses who own these resources are making massive profits. We say no more!  Nationalise them and use the profits to reduce bills and fight climate change.

BUILD A MASS MOVEMENT FOR INDYREF2

For an independent, socialist Scotland.

The SNP and Greens have shown that they don't want to fundamentally change the economy to benefit the working class after indy. It will be austerity and cuts and  our communities made to pay as usual. Scottish Trade Unionist and Socialist Coalition, in contrast, call for a socialist Scotland. We are fighting to mobilise the largest possible movement of the working class to win the right to decide.
We understand that the struggle for democratic rights under capitalism is linked to the fight to end the profit-driven system itself. Mass struggle for indyref2 and for an independent socialist Scotland is the way forward.

BUILD A NEW MASS WORKERS PARTY

A VOICE FOR WORKERS AND COMMUNITIES

All of the mainstream parties including the SNP and the Greens accept the logic of cuts to save capitalism, punishing Workers and communities for the failures of their system. Working class people are completely unrepresented in our political system To change that we need a mass socialist, workers party, involving the trade unions.

SOCIALISM

Public ownership  and an end to Poverty

We live in an extremely rich country yet side by side with obscene wealth exists obscene poverty. The people who create wealth, the Working class should have a direct say over the economy. And you can't control what you don't own. We fight for a socialist economy planned to meet the needs of all not make the super rich even richer.
