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.

The fact that it was legal to not pay someone while they're actively working is insane to begin with.

Was? Sounds like it still is. This is just one union's vistory.

Here's hoping that this stokes the fires at other airlines.

I'm hoping it stokes the fires at lots of other workplaces too.
