The Frankfurt Declaration is the general name that refers to the set of principles titled Aims and Tasks of Democratic Socialism issued on 3 July 1951 by the Socialist International in Frankfurt, West Germany.[1] The Declaration condemned capitalism for placing the "rights of ownership before the rights of man", allowing economic inequality and its historical support of imperialism and fascism.[1]
It declared that capitalism has coincided with "devastating crises and mass unemployment".[2] It praised the development of the welfare state as challenging capitalism and declared its opposition to Bolshevik communism.[2] It declared that socialism was an international movement that was plural in nature that required different approaches in different circumstances.[1] However, the Declaration stated that true socialism could only be achieved through democracy.[1] According to the Declaration, the economic goals of socialism include full employment, the welfare state and achievement of public ownership through a variety of means, including nationalization, creation of cooperatives to counter capitalist private enterprise and/or securing rights for trade unions.[1]
The Declaration stated that economic and social planning did not necessarily have to be achieved in a centralized form, but it could also be achieved in decentralized forms.[1] The Declaration denounced that all forms of discrimination whether economic, legal, or political must be abolished, including discrimination against women, races, regions and other social groups.[1] The Declaration denounced all forms of colonialism and imperialism.[1]
The Frankfurt Declaration was updated at the 18th Congress of the Socialist International in Stockholm in June 1989.[3]
