  Socialist Organizer: The Labor Party   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-20)
The realization of mass workers' parties was raised through such experiences as the Socialist Party before World War I. Trotsky linked the prospect of the Labor Party based on the unions to the Socialist Workers Party's concrete intervention in the class struggle during the late 1930s, especially during his discussions with American trotskyists.
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".
First, workers had to be "convinced" of the need "to form their own party, and force the leadership to break with the capitalist parties", which explains the party's emphasis on propaganda activities.

 AFT: Publications: American Educator: Winter 2002: Creating Political Space To Defend Chinese Workers
It’s a question of whether we’re talking about workers’ rights as "human rights" or as "animal rights." If you are talking about "animal rights," that means the company only has to take care of the workers, give them better conditions, give them one less hour of work, not one more.
The workers were pushed to sign agreements saying that they had left the company on their own.
You can’t know which part of the government might want to help the workers a little, which part will want to relieve the pressure a little, which will want to show that their part of the government is not corrupt.

 Workers' Party   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-20)
American state formation was in fact deeply influenced, (and not surprisingly), by developments in 16th and 17th century England.(6) The embroilment of religious issues with the establishment of a bourgeois-capitalist society in England in the 17th century had possibly more long-term consequences in America than it ultimately did in England itself.
Thus the unusual significance of religion in American life was not the cause of the absence of socialism, but rather symptomatic of a set of dispensations involving the state in the 17th and 18th centuries relative to countries in which socialism did arise.
The American Socialist Party, that “socialism of dentists” as Trotsky called it (perhaps a bit unfairly) during his sojourn in New York in 1917, was characterized from beginning to end by the predominance of a reformist center and a right wing.

 Norman Madarasz: Brazil, the Workers' Party and the Financial Times
In the perception of an average American whose little knowledge of its gigantic southern neighbor relies on what the media affords to inform, Brazil fits the bill of a tropical land being torn by innumerable problems.
The plan pegged the Brazilian real to the American dollar, managed to squash the spiraling inflation that was turning the economy over throughout the early nineties, and attracted considerable foreign investment in consequence.
Still, the North American tourist should be aware that the debt is a remnant of a series of governments that successive American administrations supported to the point of providing military and intelligence back-up to install, implement and maintain a network of regimes meant to destroy the growing South American popular revolt.
