Democratic Socialist Party is Not Done on Healthcare

In an article in Democratic Left, Spring 2007 D.S.A National Political Committee member David Green of Detroit wrote;

What distinguishes socialists from other progressives is the theory of surplus value. According to Marx, the secret of surplus value is that workers are a source of more value than they receive in wages. The capitalist is able to capture surplus value through his ownership of the means of production, his right to purchase labor as a commodity, his control over the production process, and his ownership of the final product. Surplus value is the measure of capital’s exploitation of labor

Our goal as socialists is to abolish private ownership of the means of production. Our immediate task is to limit the capitalist class’s prerogatives in the workplace...
Obamacare, will not achieve that noble goal, but it is certainly a fine start.
