Description

WORKERS WORLD PARTY: WHO WE ARE AND WHAT WE STAND FOR A great social earthquake is coming. Our 21st-century global economy is being run by a 19th-century class of robber barons. Their unbridled greed is leading humanity and the planet we share toward catastrophe. As poverty and misery grow, the rich keep getting richer. A small group of imperialists are sucking out profits from all over the world. This boss class is cutting millions of jobs while promoting every vile prejudice to try to turn worker against worker. It is in a union-busting frenzy, attempting to root out any form of worker organization. This big business government has rounded up thousands of immigrants. And it's using the economic draft to militarize the youth and send them to war yet again. This increasingly repressive rule of a wealthy oligarchy just can't go on forever. There's a fightback coming. Workers World Party was built on the confidence that regular working people CAN overcome capitalism, can take back from the class of exploiters the wealth they have created, and create a society that meets the needs of all. Can't we control technology to make work lighter and our lives better, instead of having it threaten our jobs? Can't people of different nationalities, sexes, gender expressions and sexualities cooperate and share the re sources equitably in our increasingly diverse societies? Can't we radically restructure the economy and put billions into solving basic human needs--food, housing, health care, education--instead of letting the wealth be channeled into private fortunes and into armies, weapons, prisons and police that protect this unjust status quo? Workers World says YES! There is a way to do all this. If workers organize to fight, nothing is impossible. The key is class solidarity and the building of a mighty movement for socialism. SOLIDARITY AGAINST ALL FORMS OF OPPRESSION Since its founding in 1959, this party has been putting into practice what it means by solidarity. It has supported the struggles of all oppressed peoples. It has recognized the right of nations to self-determination, including the nationally oppressed peoples inside the United States. It supports affirmative action as absolutely necessary in the fight for equality. It opposes all forms of racism and religious bigotry. Solidarity means fighting for an end to sexism and women's oppression. Women's right to control their bodies must not be restricted. Women must be able to decide freely whether or not to have children--which means having access to legal, safe abortion as well as to free quality healthcare and childcare. Women need equal pay for comparable work, and recognition/compensation for housework. Solidarity means support for the struggle of lesbians, gays, trans and bis for full social rights and an end to harassment and discrimination. Love is not a crime and should not have to be in the closet. Solidarity means guaranteeing immigrants the same rights as all other workers, no matter how they got here. Many immigrants leave home because the same banks and corporations that oppress workers here have taken over their countries. Discrimination is unjust, especially on this continent where everyone except the Native peoples came from somewhere else. Solidarity means building bridges to workers' struggles in other countries. When one section of our class is held back, all suffer eventually. Uniting to fight against all forms of oppression helps raise the whole class. WHERE IS THE WORLD GOING? A new internationalism is developing. As problems go global, so does the people's response. We have demonstrated together by the millions to stop U.S. imperialism's war on Iraq. Worldwide protests have condemned the unjust world economic order and the colonial occupation of Iraq and Palestine and supported the peoples' resistance there. How can we build on that international solidarity? Workers World respects the many social revolutions of the last century. Some were for national liberation from colonialism. Others went further and tried to build socialism. Their biggest internal problem was starting out from a level of extreme underdevelopment. Every revolutionary state immediately became the target of subversion, sanctions and often outright military aggression by hostile and powerful imperialist powers. Many have received terrible setbacks. Nevertheless, these revolutions inspired the workers and oppressed of the world. They showed that it's possible to kick out the bosses and reconstruct society without them. WW supports those trying to hold on to the gains of those great mass struggles and resist the tide of reaction and corporate globalization washing over the world. We want to learn from the mistakes and from the accomplishments in order to build a socialist future. The U.S. rulers have used their victory over the Soviet Union in the Cold War to launch a new and "endless" war for total domination of the globe. They claim "Marxism is dead" and U.S. empire is all that's left. But Marxism is based on the class struggle, and that is growing every day along with capitalist globalization. It is time that we in this rich, powerful, oppressor country do our share to revive the hope of humanity that a better world is possible for all. The key to transforming the world is here, in the "belly of the beast." The corporate bosses are handing this task to us. They are bringing back home the kind of super-exploitation they have imposed on the Third World. They are dragging off our young people to oppress others in wars of plunder and profit. They are forcing the working class to organize and fight back just to survive. So Workers World has been building a party, based on the great revolutionary concepts of Marx and Lenin, which learns from the mass movements while helping them grow and develop. It works with others to build the broadest mass actions while promoting the struggle for socialism and exposing the deceptions of both Democrats and Republicans--two capitalist parties that have always supported imperialist war and plunder. Read Workers World newspaper--in print or on the Web at workers.org—and you will see what we are doing in the struggle movements. You will see that this is a party that welcomes everyone who wants to fight for socialism and against oppression. You will see how we bring a revolutionary analysis to current events. You're welcome to write us or contact our branches to ask questions, learn more about the Party, and find out how to join.
