Scottish Socialist Voice was first published by Scottish Militant Labour in November 1996. In the first issue, we promised to cover the real issues of concern to real people, to report struggles for better conditions in workplaces and communities, to campaign against poverty, to expose corruption and denounce

inequality, and to fight tirelessly for genuine democracy. A vital component of democracy is a free media. And as the ownership of media in 21st century Scotland is concentrated in the hands of fewer and fewer big companies, as they buy up the competition, our news sources are increasingly tied to the interests of a small number of very, very rich men. Even on the internet, where communication was supposed to run wild and free, ownership by huge corporations has allowed censorship to encroach as they protect their profits. The Voice is published by the Scottish Socialist Party, and we wear our bias on our sleeve. Because we are not run for profit, because we don’t have to doff our caps to corporate advertisers, we are free to stand squarely on the side of the people. From Scotland’s streets, and all over the world, we’ll let you know how people are fighting back – for better wages, against environmental degradation, for human rights. We’re hammering out a bright red space in the bland media world. We give room to ideas when all around us, dumbing down is the order of the day. Issue by issue, campaign by campaign, we raise the ideas of equality, peace and justice, of another, better way of organising our world which would see poverty, war and oppression wiped out.

Private bus companies receive enormous public subsidies while raising fares and cutting vital services.

Instead, let's reclaim our buses: bring buses fully into public ownership, and deliver for everyone in Scotland.

Vote Bill Bonnar for Rutherglen and Hamilton West on 5 October to reclaim our buses.

The Tories have cranked up their class war on workers, rushing through laws to turn workers into slaves.

Please read and SHARE Richie Venton's article on the Tories' new anti-strike laws, and proposals on what the trade union movement needs to do to defeat the worst assault on workers and democratic rights since at least the Dark Ages of Maggie Thatcher.

The Tories are hellbent on turning workers into slaves. They are rushing through legislation on so-called Minimum Service Levels that would effectively ban the right to strike for countless workers…

"WE'LL BE BACK!"

Please WATCH and SHARE this video at the Demo at Clyde Marine Recruitment in Govan.

Workers are determined to combat and defeat the capitalist thuggery of P&O and their Razor Gang, including Clyde Marine Recruitment agency.

Dutch dockers have refused to handle a P&O slave wage-ship; another has been marooned at Dover as it's breaking safety rules; the brazen P&O chief executive (who thinks it's perfectly alright to break the law in sacking workers) will hopefully get grilled in the Scottish parliament today.

These Pirates of Profit are on the run - keep chasing them!
Let both P&O and Clyde Marine that "We'll be back until the crews are reinstated without loss of pay or conditions!"

P&O's sacking of 800 workers is an outrageous act of capitalist thuggery.Richie Venton, of the Scottish Workers Solidarity Network, was invited to speak as R...

As the heads of state, heads of polluting profiteers and other 'dignitaries' descend on Glasgow to discuss the climate crisis - like criminals returning to the scene of their crimes - we need working-class, socialist alternatives. A case that combines the interests of people and planet - not the rule of profit. We thoroughly recommend that you get a copy of this new SSP book before we run out of stock - don't delay, get this brilliant wee book today!

The SSP announces release of "Socialist Change, not Climate Change: Poverty, Pollution, and Working-Class Solutions" to argue the case for a Socialist Green New Deal.

#EarthDay2021 - Socialist solutions to the Climate Emergency

SSP members from our Climate Change Action Group discuss the shortcomings of liberal governments and much of the environmental movement in preventing rising greenhouse gas emissions and ecological destruction in the name of profit. The SSP argues for demands that benefit working people and protect our environment. A Socialist Green New Deal will empower working people and communities, create high skilled, well paid jobs and end exploitation of people and nature. To build a force that can win, the environmental movement must embrace democratic public ownership and organise to break the dominance of multinational capital.
