Workers World Party is the one Marxist party in the United States that defended what was progressive about the Soviet bloc without trying to cover up its political or material weaknesses. All these countries tried to build socialism from a low economic base that was weakened even more by capitalist invasion and war. The United States is another story. It has had hundreds of years to become highly developed. It is ready-made for social ownership and economic planning.
Workers are highly skilled and have great experience organizing a division of labor.
The economy is so productive that surpluses exist in everything. Under socialism, increased productivity would be reason to celebrate because it would mean more leisure time for all, more social investment in culture, in the environment and so on. Under capitalism, however, abundance means layoffs. Workers fighting for their jobs and livelihoods have to challenge the property laws of capitalism. Workers World Party has over 40 years of experience in uniting workers on the job to fight for their rights.
