History
Future party founders Sam Marcy and Milt Neidenberg left the Socialist Workers Party in 1958 because of its opposition to the Soviet Union and founded the WWP in 1959.[1]
Internationalism
The Workers World Party opposes U.S. interventions around the world and supports the Palestinian people against the Zionist State of Israel.
Starting in August 1962, the Workers World Party began its first demonstration against the Vietnam War. It also supported the independence movements of the Congo, Angola, Guinea-Bissau, and Mozambique.[2]
Program
The Workers World Party has ten points in its program:[3]
- Ending police brutality and giving reparations to Black people
- Self-determination for Black, Chicano, indigenous, Arab, and Asian peoples
- Socialist revolution instead of reformism
- Abolishing ICE and giving full rights to immigrants
- Food, water, housing, clothing, health care, education, and childcare for all and cancellation of student debt
- Equal pay and reproductive rights for women and LGBT+ equality
- Hold the Pentagon and oil corporations for climate change and support for climate refugees
- Abolish the Department of Defense, economic sanctions, and foreign interventions by the United States
- Universal employment and $15 minimum wage, including for disabled people
- End the prison-industrial complex, mass incarcerations, and the death penalty
