	American Labor Party - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The American Labor Party was a socialist political party in the United States active almost exclusively in the state of New York.
		From 1948 until 1949, the ALP had two seats in the House, as Leo Isacson joined Marcantonio after winning a special election early in 1948, but he was defeated in the general election that year.
		By the 1950s, the ALP had lost much of its support to the rival Liberal Party of New York, in part because of accusations of communist influence in the ALP.

	Socialist Organizer: The Labor Party (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-09)
		The perspective for building a Labor Party in the United States was elaborated theoretically, from Engels in his correspondence to American marxists to the American CP and the Communist International in the early 1920's.
		The Labor Party as such is not attributed any practical role in the workers' struggle against the bourgeois state or in the upcoming revolutionary events, it is presented mainly as a "preliminary stage" preparing them for "the direct leadership of the revolutionary party".
		The Labor Party slogan was cast into the tactical role of party-building and consciousness-raising maneuver, one of "educational" importance, "concentrated upon convincing workers" and unionists to organize politically and independently.

	Popular Front politics (by L. Proyect)
		Even though this party had developed more of a middle-class base since its formation earlier in the century, it was still possible to transform the class composition by aggressively recruiting workers.

		The growing labor party is not an artificial creation but on the contrary it is the natural, healthy reaction of the workers to the pressure of their environment.
		The united front labor party policy was the basis of an effective alliance between the Communists and the progressive trade unionists, with the Communists everywhere furnishing the driving force of the powerful combination.
