SWT has a core ideology is [[Social organization|Patriarchal collectivism]], which is a concept that combines communist ideology with cultural characteristics and [[Sukhothai Kingdom|ancient Thai government]] in the era of [[Ram Khamhaeng|King Ramkhamhaeng the Great]]. This concept is built on drawing on the straightforward and uncomplicated nature of linguistic communication. This is a distinctive feature of King Ramkhamhaeng's time, especially the use of the words "I" (Ku : กู) and "You" (Meang : มึง) in conjunction with the strict [[Organization of the Communist Party of the Soviet Union|hierarchy]] within the [[Communist party|Communist Party]] system. |

|||
During the time of King Ramkhamhaeng. The use of the words "I" (Ku : กู) and "you" (Meang : มึง) is common in social contexts, reflecting informal and straightforward communication that strictly regards hierarchy. at the same time King Ramkhamhaeng was also a leader who advocated [[economic freedom]] and [[free trade]], which contradicted the basic principles of communism that emphasized [[Macroeconomic regulation and control|economic control]] by the state and the equitable distribution of resources. |

In the concept of Patriarchal collectivism, This combination was formed by applying ancient [[Culture of Thailand|Thai cultural characteristics]] to the structure and concepts of the Communist Party, such as the use of the words "I" (กู) and "you" (มึง) to emphasize friendliness among party members and show closeness to the people. at the same time The hierarchy within the Communist Party remained strictly maintained, reflecting the patriarchal rule that prioritized leadership and hierarchy within the organization. In addition, They are aware of King Ramkhamhaeng the Great's benevolence in granting [[Ramkhamhaeng University]] to its members to continue their higher education. |

Marx's socialist concept sees that [[social inequality]] is not a natural thing that has existed originally, but is the result of [[Social class|class society]] and [[Capitalism|capitalist society.]] In a capitalist society, there are two classes. between [[Bourgeoisie|bourgeois]] (The Capitalist class) and [[Proletariat|proletarians]] (The Working Class). The capitalist system is a system that creates inequality because it allows capitalists to make profits through the exploitation of excess value from labor (for example, a salesman can earn 1000 baht a day for a business, but receives a wage of 300 baht per day, which is the minimum wage, and the remaining 700 baht will be the employer's profit). The bourgeoisie uses its economic power to build political power and dominate the state structure in order to benefit the bourgeoisie and oppress [[Working class|the working class]]. |
|||
SWT and socialists in general do not see the [[Socialism|socialist system]] as contrary to [[human nature]] in any way, because capitalism was born only 200-500 years ago. Socialists are of the view that human character is determined by material conditions or social environment. And human beings always have habits that are contrary to capitalism. When in [[Primitive communism|Primitive era]], There was no capitalist system, no class social system and, no government. |
|||
SWT believes in the theory of [[permanent revolution]] and believes that socialism is the solution to the current capitalist crisis. Currently, SWT is still active by producing [[Prachatai|media]]. A large number of books and academic works have been published along with seminars and student groups in universities and labor unions continuously. At present, SWT has signed MOUs with various political movements with left-wing ideologies and Islam, such as [[REDEM]], [[PSC Thailand]], [[Patani United Liberation Organisation|PULO]], [[Barisan Revolusi Nasional|BRN]], and [[Shia Islam|Sayyid Sulaiman Hussaini Coalition]] to form a "[[Political party|Mass Party]]". In support of a [[permanent revolution]] according to the doctrine of [[Leon Trotsky]].<ref>{{Cite web |last=wordpress |first=designer |last2=wordpress |first2=designer |date=2012-02-28 |title=wordpress website designer |url=http://dx.doi.org/10.4016/39495.01 |access-date=2024-08-23 |website=SciVee}}</ref> |
