United Front for a Workers Party homepage

There is no longer even the pretense of difference between the so-called Republican and Democratic parties. They are substantially one in what they stand for. They are opposed to each other on no question of principle but purely in a contest for the spoils of office. They, or rather it, stands for capitalism, for the exploitation of the workers, and for wage-slavery.

Gays, Communists & Workers

Capitalists and Democrats may have taken over Pride month, but they aren’t friends of the LGBTQ struggle. As far back as the 1890s, socialists in Europe were leading the fight for gay rights. It took the Democrats another 120 years to support gay marriage.

Our Strategy

Capitalism has been a disaster for the working class.

Both capitalist parties — Democrat and Republican — have overseen war, genocide, climate catastrophe, and a spiraling cost-of-living crisis.

70 percent of Americans support a single-payer healthcare system, 60 percent support ending U.S. military aid to Israel, and 80 percent support rent control — this includes supermajorities of self-identified Democrats, Republicans, and Independents.

Why haven’t these things been done? Because neither party represents workers. They represent billionaires, corporate landlords, the health insurance industry, Big Pharma, the weapons manufacturers, Big Oil & Gas, and the capitalist system as a whole.

Millions of Americans know this. A record-breaking 45 percent of Americans identify as political independents, and 62 percent say we need a new party. 58 percent disapprove of the Republicans’ job in Congress, and 73 percent disapprove of the Democrats.

Get Involved

Join the fight for socialism today! A new party of the working class is desperately needed to fight back against the crisis of capitalism. We have a chance to take a huge step toward creating such a party in electing an independent socialist to U.S. Congress!
