Reply To: Status of World Socialist Party (US)

Are you intending to investigate and perhaps form closer links with the SPC. Robbo? Will you contact the SPC for their feedback and suggestions?

Since neither party is likely at the moment to engage in electoral process, I think there could be a case made for a merger if members of both parties are willing.

If not that then very closer links as both share common problems, a vast country and a geographic sparse membership. (Although SPC does have an active Toronto branch which is less than a couple of hours drive from Buffalo on the USA border)

Logistically and logically it makes some sense for them to operate as one organization at this time until they develop and grow.

There is a historical precedent for a unified SPC/WSPUS party. The short-lived Socialist Party of North America, 1911 – 1914

There was also the joint publication of the Western Socialist for many years.

Another example would be the WSP (Ireland) operating in constitutionally two separate countries and having dual memberships with the SPGB.

Just a thought if you have not already included the possibility in your plans
