Socialists long ago realised that the problems we face are in fact social problems, not natural ones or the vengeance of gods - social problems because they have their roots in the way our world is organised for production, that is production for profit, not need.

Socialists maintain that human behaviour is determined by the kind of system people are conditioned to live in, that it is not the consciousness of man that determines his social existence, the way he behaves, but his social existence that determines his consciousness.
