What socialists? If you are talking about parties of the Socialist International (see <http://www.socialistinternational.org/2Members/who.html>), of course they don't intend to "abolish the system of wage-labour." Many (most?) Communist Parties in the world have given up on the idea of abolishing capitalism. There remain some revolutionaries -- socialists, anarchists, etc. -- in "the West," but the number is so small that our maximum demands are practically _always_ off the agenda -- we mainly provide initiatives and critical edges to social movements when we can; quite often, we end up getting pushed to the margins of the very movements to which we devote our all, even when we aren't quite purged from them.
Outside the circle of the imperial centers, too, the torch of abolitionism only burns fitfully. Look at Argentina -- its conditions today _cry out_ for a socialist or anarchist solution, and yet.... -- Yoshie
