Socialist Workers Party

Our starting point is how to strengthen the fighting vanguard of the working class of which we are a part, so it is better armed to understand the world we live in, to learn from the history of the modern working-class movement, to become more conscious of our strength and historic responsibilities, and to chart a line of march toward overthrowing capitalism and taking political power.

The SWP fights for independent working-class political action in opposition to the parties of the bosses — the Democrats and Republicans.

Official home of the party: https://themilitant.com/

In the spirit of socialism and international solidarity, posts will be shared in both English and Esperanto.

Esperanto represents the ideal of a universal language, breaking down barriers between people of different nations, just as socialism seeks to unite the working class across borders.

Socialists supporting Trump is the funniest thing I've ever heard. Who believes this crap?

I don't think they are supporting him. The Socialist Workers Party and this newspaper are very much against Trump. But they are also against Harris.

Saying that the lawsuits against Trump are part of the Democrats' efforts to hold the White House and using a subheadline like "Russia-collusion hoax redux" are clear signs of Trump support. That's two that I picked out in three seconds of skimming the article again.

It's a small paper w a small staff. So feel free to write to them directly and tell them your thoughts. I wrote to them and they emailed me back the very next day--and it wasn't automated. Someone actually wrote the reply back to me.

I'm not being snarky, by the way. I'm serious. Write to them about your concerns. They are small enough that I think they'll respond back.
