		Contrary to Ezra's supposed opposition between the "progressive movement" (a nebulous institution) and the union movement, a more just society is better for union workers, which explains why unions have been core part of social advancement, from the New Deal and Great Society to the civil rights movement.
		The Bureau of Labor Statistics has released a report showing that while jobs have increased since the depths of the recession, the average work week has not recovered to the pre-recession level, meaning many folks may have a job but they aren't getting the same hours and pay as earlier.
		And progressives should be standing side by side with the labor unions, civil rights groups and religious leaders marching by the hundreds of thousands in the streets to demand decent treatment for those refugees and a more just global economic system.

	Progressive Labor Party \| libcom.org
		Their vision of the Party as a "mass party of millions committed to fighting for communism" is, in my opinion, a welcome addition to the left.
		PLP is negating the opportunism that saturated the old socialist movement, though they haven't yet embraced an anarchist outlook, they are fighting directly for a stateless society, and that's a quantum leap for Marxist-Leninists who fought for a state.
		I see the PLP as important because their theories can help all of the Marxist Leninist organizations to break free from their tunnel vision and see that they don't need to build front groups, make deals with capital, support natinal lib movements, and to organize internationally.

	The nature of Marxists' relationship to the mass labor party in Canada
		We were able to weigh the fact that this party, originating as an agrarian protest and populist movement, gradually, through a period of experiences, by 1948 became what you would have to say was a labor party, in that it took on a new social base in Canadian politics.
		So that's what this party was - this party was essentially a party of pressure on the bourgeois parties - an independent party, but nonetheless essentially a party with a strategy of pressure on the bourgeois parties.
		Here's the party, just coming off the ground, challenging the people of Canada to rally their forces, you know, behind this party - this party's going to lead the struggle to a new society of some type - and the leader, in the midst of the convention, threatens the party with a split.

		The Revolutionary Communist Party is a “vanguardist” organization; meaning that its leaders and rank and file members see themselves as the “most advanced” politically, and that the rest of us are just here waiting for them to tell us what to do.
