There can be no art, culture or socialism in a nuclear holocaust. The World Socialist Website supports nuclear power. Nuclear power and nuclear weapons should be abolished. See

by an inconvenient truth
To say that the The World Socialist Website supports nuclear power is rather simplistic and tendentious.

The view from the World Socialist Website reflects a principle adopted by the Socialist Equality Party. It states:

"The irreconcilable conflict between the profit system and the very survival of humanity finds, in a literal sense, its most noxious expression in the crisis of global warming and the natural environment. The cause of this crisis lies not, as is falsely claimed by the bourgeois media, with population growth. Nor is it the result of science and technology-- whose development is critical to the advance of human civilization-- but, rather, with their misuse by an irrational and obsolete economic order. The impossibility of finding a genuine solution to the increasingly critical problem of climate change and other environmental problems within the framework of the profit system is an "inconvenient truth" that bourgeois politicians-- even those who profess concern for the environment-- deny. All scientific evidence points to the fact that nothing short of the socialist reorganization of the world economy-- in which the planetary environment would no longer be held hostage to either the profit motive or destructive national interests-- will achieve the reductions in greenhouse gases necessary to prevent disaster."
