State Platform of Socialist Party of South Dakota
The platform argues for public or collective ownership of productive property yet preserves private ownership of wealth used privately. It advocates home protection, universal suffrage, home rule, referendum, and initiative, with veto powers in people and court limits. It demands prohibition of intoxicating liquor, compensation for crime victims, public defenders, and worker protections. It supports taxation of property, personal property exemptions, and state ownership of tax-delinquent land, framing the party as the sole defender of social needs.
