The Party for Socialism and Liberation is a Marxist-Leninist political party in the United States founded in June 2004 after a split from the Workers World Party. Their platform is closely related to the broader ANSWER Coalition. The PSL has funded numerous movements within The ANSWER Coalition including the movement to liberate Cuba from the hands of Statesian imperialism.[1]
Publications
The party's main publication is the monthly paper Liberation News,[2] which replaced a quarterly magazine, Socialism and Liberation.[3] The PSL also publishes Breaking the Chains: A Socialist Perspective on Women's Liberation, a quarterly socialist and feminist magazine,[4] and Reds In Ed, a monthly newsletter initiated by teachers who are members of the PSL.[5] Additionally, the PSL publishes Liberation School, which publishes longer-form analysis, Party documents, interviews, and educational resources including study guides, curricula, and video and audio courses.[6]
Controversies
Some controversies of the PSL have arisen in recent years as its prominence grows in the public eye[7][8] and while no political organization is completely without fault, these controversies must also be viewed within the context that communist parties in the US are regularly targeted by intelligence agencies for sabotage, as demonstrated by the FBI's COINTELPRO operation.
