We are revolutionary socialists on campus that fight against all types of oppression, exploitation and environmental destruction. We hold regular meetings to discuss socialist ideas, and also are involved in campaigns against racism, climate change, sexism and war. We want to bring students together and create a community where we can learn, develop and push for real change on Imperial campuses.

WE ARE ...

1. Anti-Capitalist 

We see that the problems in society come from a system, capitalism, which prioritises profit over people. We want a society which is ran from the bottom up by the majority working class, without the bosses, billionaires and landlords. 

2. Anti-Imperialism and War 

Imperialism and war emerge from the global system of competing capitalist states. We stand in solidarity with national liberation movements resisting imperialist attacks, and envision a world where borders no longer divide us, and the atrocities of war no longer exist. 

3. Queer and Women’s Liberation 

The oppression of women and the policing of queerness is rooted in the historic development and origins of capitalism. Strict gender norms and traditional family values exist to serve the ruling capitalist class. We stand by every woman, trans, non-binary, and queer person experiencing discrimination and violence at the hands of the capitalist system.  

4. Fight Against the Rise of Fascism and Racism 

Fascism aims to smash all working-class organisation and democracy, whilst racism remains a systematic tool of capitalist states. We will always fight against both and commit ourselves to never compromise or capitulate to fascists and racists. 

5. Environmentalism and Climate Action  

We believe climate change is a political issue – and that capitalism is creating a climate catastrophe. The solution to this is a system change creating a sustainable and socialist society, which doesn’t place profits over the survival of our planet. 

6. Inclusivity and Accessibility 

We will actively commit to our activism being accessible to all – because the fight for social justice shouldn’t just be reserved for a privileged few. Any oppressive, discriminatory language or act will be condemned. We want inclusion and diversity to be at the centre of our activities and commit ourselves to always stand up against any form of racism, homophobia, transphobia, misogyny, ableism and classism within the society.

WHAT WE DO ...

We host weekly meetings and discussions on a range of topics – from Marxist theoretical foundations, to significant historical moments, and current issues and resistance movements we can learn from as activists. 

As well as our meetings, we hope to host a range of socials to build community, as well as campaign events, creative workshops and more! As a member of SWSS, if you have an idea for an event or initiative, simply get in touch with our committee and we’ll work to make it happen alongside you! 

If that sounds like something you’d be interested in – come along to one of our weekly meetings (in term time), pub socials or any other events! Membership is FREE and we can’t wait to meet you and for everyone to get involved!
