href="/wiki/International_organisation" class="mw-redirect" title="International organisation">international organisation</a> of <a href="/wiki/Socialist_Party" title="Socialist Party">socialist parties</a> created in 1904 with the founding of the <a href="/wiki/Socialist_Party_of_Great_Britain" title="Socialist Party of Great Britain">Socialist Party of Great Britain</a> (SPGB). </p><p>The member parties share a common <a href="/wiki/Classical_Marxism" title="Classical Marxism">classical Marxist</a> worldview and an adherence to <a href="/wiki/Socialist_mode_of_production" title="Socialist mode of production">socialism</a> defined as a distinct <a href="/wiki/Economic_system" title="Economic system">economic system</a> from <a href="/wiki/Capitalist_mode_of_production_(Marxist_theory)" title="Capitalist mode of production (Marxist theory)">capitalism</a>. As a result, the parties of the WSM are held in sharp contrast to <a href="/wiki/Social_democracy" title="Social democracy">social democratic</a> political parties and <a href="/wiki/Marxism%E2%80%93Leninism" title="Marxism–Leninism">Marxist–Leninist</a> movements. In contrast to <a href="/wiki/Social_Democratic_Party" title="Social Democratic Party">social democratic parties</a>, the WSM parties do not pursue <a href="/wiki/Reformism" title="Reformism">social and economic reforms</a> to <a href="/wiki/Capitalism" title="Capitalism">capitalism</a>, nor do they seek political office in electoral politics and they do not focus on so-called <a href="/wiki/Progressivism" title="Progressivism">progressive</a> causes, believing such actions to be irrelevant to their fundamental goal of socialism. In contrast to Marxist–Leninist <a href="/wiki/Communist_party" title="Communist party">communist parties</a>, they do not subscribe to the theories of <a href="/wiki/Imperialism" title="Imperialism">imperialism</a>, <a href="/wiki/Vanguardism" title="Vanguardism">vanguardism</a> and <a href="/wiki/Democratic_centralism" title="Democratic centralism">democratic centralism</a>, believing such practices to be antithetical to the realisation of socialism. </p><p>The WSM defines socialism as a moneyless society based on common ownership of the means of production, production for use and social relations based on cooperative and democratic associations as opposed to bureaucratic hierarchies. Additionally, the WSM includes statelessness, classlessness and the abolition of <a href="/wiki/Wage_labour" title="Wage labour">wage labor</a> as characteristics of a socialist society—characteristics that are usually reserved to describe a <a href="/wiki/Communist_society" title="Communist society">communist society</a>, but that both <a href="/wiki/Karl_Marx" title="Karl Marx">Karl Marx</a> and <a href="/wiki/Friedrich_Engels" title="Friedrich Engels">Friedrich Engels</a> used to describe interchangeable with the words <a href="/wiki/Socialism"
