And that seemed to be the general mood. It is clearly an issue that will not go away, and will have to be faced up to sooner rather than later. Our Labor Party will actively promote a strategy of international solidarity and cooperation with labor movements and labor parties in other nations to confront the global attack on our environment and living conditions. We oppose all policies instituted by corporate-dominated lending institutions likethe World Bank that force developing nations to lower the wages of their workers. On the basis of such a program, which addresses the needs and aspirations of American workers, the American Labor Party can galvanize the support of millions that face brutal attacks by the corporations, and those who are struggling daily to make ends meet.
American society is one of the most polarized in the Western world.
The contrasts between rich and poor are very stark. This means, given the growing bankruptcy of the two major parties of big business, the Republicans and Democrats, the potential for the Labor Party is enormous. If it takes its message in a bold fashion to the working class of America, it will not take 100 years to establish a mass labor party as in Britain and on the European continent. Such a development would mean an historic break-through. It would shake the foundations of Corporate America and create shock waves throughout the entire world.
