At the Geneva Conference the constitution of the Second International was fixed; its declared purposes are as follows: “1. The political and economic organization of the working-class for the purpose of abolishing the capitalist form of society and achieving complete freedom for humanity through the conquest of political power and the socialization of the means of production and exchange, that is to say, by the transformation of capitalist society into a collectivist or communist society. “2. The international union and action of the workers in the struggle against jingoism and imperialism and for the simultaneous suppression of militarism and armaments, with the object of bringing about a real League of Nations, including all peoples master of their own destiny, and maintaining world peace. “3. The representation and defence of the interests of oppressed peoples and subject races. “These principles find three forms of expression in the working-class movement, each at different stages of development, but each necessary; the political, the industrial, and the co-operative. These must, as autonomous bodies, continue to strengthen their national influence and their international unity, and, at the same time, as their ultimate aims are common, and as they are aspects of one great world movement, they should take every opportunity for joint action in an internationalist and revolutionary spirit for the maintenance of the world’s peace.” The Geneva Resolutions on Socialism of 1920 A number of resolutions were also passed, and those which relate to “Socialization” are worthy of careful study; they were the draft of the British Labour Party’s representatives and were in the following terms: “SOCIALIZATION.—By Socialization we understand the transformation from ownership and control by capitalists to ownership and control by the community of all the industries and services essential for the satisfaction of the people’s needs; the substitution, for the wasteful production and distribution with the object of private profit, of efficient production and economical distribution with the object of the greatest possible utility; the transformation also, from the economic servitude of the great mass of the actual producers under private ownership, to a general participation in management by the persons engaged in the work.
