WORKERS WORLD PARTY

THE WORKERS WORLD PARTY

PARTY OVERVIEW

Another working-class party fighting the evils of capitalism, the Workers World Party apparently accepts anyone who's willing to forego the filthy lucre. For nearly 40 years, the party has worked to end racism and create better standards of living for the world's citizens.

Workers World fights for a socialist society -- where the wealth is socially owned and production is planned to satisfy human need.

That's also what workers around the world, from Cuba to China, have been struggling for. The U.S. rulers have spent trillions of our tax dollars trying to stop them in a global class struggle. WWP promotes international working-class solidarity, the right of every nation to sovereignty and self-determination, and militant resistance at home to imperialist interventions and wars.

Sadly, the Workers World Party's fight against capitalism stands little chance in an election that is already dominated by billionaires Forbes and Trump and the raking in of obscene millions by George "Forget the W., what does he stand for?" Bush.

On the other hand, the Workers World Party received more than 25,000 votes in the 1996 election, significantly more support than most of the other minor third parties.

As much as we'd love to see these two sistahs in the Whitehouse, it doesn't seem likely unless no one votes outside of a few neighborhoods in New York, San Francisco and L.A. We just can't see the nice folks in Kansas wanting to free Puerto Rico or fight for transgender rights. Still, the political scene would certainly be a lot more entertaining if they were holding court in the Oval Office.
