Reply To: Status of World Socialist Party (US)
The American website, Dissident Voice have posted an article I just wrote on the WSPUS. It may prove useful to link to when commenting on other websites.
Some will take issue with the tone but I don’t think an openly partisan piece would have been published and my intention was to attract attention, not to issue a manifesto of the WSPUS ideas.
Here was my begging letter that accompanied it
“I wonder if this brief portrayal of the WSPUS might be of any use to you. It isn’t a blatant recruitment article but is shamelessy intended to attract attention to a socialist party which is sadly heading the same way as the De Leonist Socialist Labor Party went – towards oblivion It would be a great pity for this socialist organization to disappear like others of its kind e.g. the Proletarian Party. It would be regretful that the struggles and sacrifices of long-dead activists should have all been for nothing. The WSPUS still holds some, albeit limited, value as a reminder of America’s more vibrant and diverse Marxist past. And it would be a comradely act to help the WSPUS to survive, if only for a little bit longer”
