PARTY OVERVIEW

The Progressive Labor Party is poised to pounce on the capitalist regime of the United States, and then the world, once they've garnered the support of millions of workers. Moderation is nonexistant in the vocabulary of the PLP - nothing less than the total seizure of power from the capitalist regime will satisfy their demands.

 

Born out of the dissolution of the old communist movement, the Progressive Labor Party breaks with socialism, revisionism, and nationalism to pursue a mass line of communist revolution. The main tenets are "One world, one class, one party", and "smash all borders".

 

OFFICIAL PLATFORM STATEMENT
FROM THE OFFICIAL WEB PAGE

The former Soviet Union, Eastern Europe, and China returned to capitalism many years ago. Capitalism, not communism, is failing all over the world.

The two-stage strategy of first socialism, then communism, failed to lead to communism. It led back to capitalism.

Therefore, we must fight directly for communism.

Communism means abolishing nation states, which are an expression of capitalism. One working class, one party, one world.

Communism means abolishing racism by building multi-racial unity and internationalism.

Communism means abolishing sexism.

Communism means equality. No money. No wages. People working based on their commitment to each other and to building a communist society. Just as we do now in the Party.

Communism means the Party leads society. Millions of workers-eventually everybody-must be won to be communist organizers for this to work. We must all give and receive leadership from each other.

Communism can be won only through armed struggle by masses of workers, soldiers, students and others, to destroy the dictatorship of the capitalist class and set up a dictatorship of the working class.

Fight for Communism!

 

THE DARKHORSE2000 FISHY-EYED ASSESSMENT

Sigh. C'mon kids, get a clue. This is America and the likelyhood of the American people discarding democracy for communism falls somewhere below walking on water.

But for those who long to sublimate their individuality to the hive mentality and dedicate their lives to serving the masses, the Progressive Labor Party would be a viable alternative to a forced labor camp in Siberia. In the Real World, they stand even less of a chance of effecting change than their more moderate socialist bretheren.

Their website does, however, offer an excellent collection of radical manifestos in both English and Spanish.

- HA
