	Workers' Party (Brazil) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		It was officially founded by a group of intellectuals and workers in February, 10, 1980 at Colégio Sion (Sion High School) in São Paulo.
		The relative changes in the political orientation of his party (PT), the Government and Lula himself were well received by the majority of the population, but as a historically more radical party, PT has been suffering from internal struggles with members that followed the old standards.
		In a recent move by the radical wing of the Party, sometimes called the rebels by the media, 112 members announced they are abandoning PT in the World Social Forum, in Porto Alegre, on January 30, 2005.

		The Workers Party, which rose from a small vanguard to a mass workers' political movement in this past period, is only the most visible expression of the high level of class consciousness of Brazilian workers.
		Workers, after all, have been known to conclude that if their bosses can't keep the economy going and provide workers with the means of a decent livelihood, they may just have to do it themselves!
		Either one of these revolutionary socialist parties (or it is to be hoped, both joined together) have the capacity to grow into a mass revolutionary workers' party in the course of the coming social upheavals.

	The Militant - October 28, 2002 -- Brazil Workers Party vote shows radicalization
		Workers Party candidate Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva came within 3 percent of gaining the presidency of Brazil in the first round of voting on October 6.
		The Workers Party (PT) success reflected the growing discontent among workers, peasants, and others at the impact of the country’s economic crisis and the austerity policies of the current government of President Fernando Henrique Cardoso.
		Brazil is the largest economy in Latin America, and the largest debtor nation in the region.

		Their task is to build a new workers' socialist party in Brazil to act as an alternative to the capitalist programme that the Lula government and PT leadership has implemented since coming to power.
		Amongst these workers there is widespread support for the idea of forming a new party and the union leaders are supporting the new movement.

	Brazil: Movement for a new workersâ party launched
		The objective of the new movement is to begin the task of organising a new workers’ socialist party throughout the country, as an alternative to the pro-capitalist neo-liberal programme that the Lula government and PT leadership has implemented since coming to power.
		The document entitled’ For a Socialist and Democratic Left’ provided the basis for a lengthy political debate for all those activists who are prepared to build a new political alternative around the political and programmatical ideas and anti-capitalist concept of a new party which began to be developed at the meeting in Rio De Janeiro.
		The party will be open to members who break from the PT and to those that have not been members of it, along with other left parties that reject being seduced by the palace privileges and who defend the independence of the working class in the face of the bourgeoisie.

	Workers Power \| WP291
		The party demands a "new constitution" based on "the universal right to vote" (which has existed in Brazil for 15 years!) without mentioning that capitalist "democracy" is only a concealed dictatorship of the capitalists and has to be overthrown by the working class using revolutionary means.
		What kind of government the new party is positively fighting for is left open: the perspective of a workers' government, based on the fighting organisations of the class, for example workers' councils and not on parliament, is not mentioned.
		In comparison to this, one should not forget that the Workers' Party, in its first years, emphasised that "participation in elections and parliamentary activity has to be subordinated to the objective of organising the oppressed and their struggles" and that it boycotted presidential elections until the year 1989.

		The deal was sealed by the acceptance by Lula and his Workers Party (PT) of a capitalist party leader, Jose Alencar of the Liberals, as his vice presidential running mate.
		Socialist Democracy (DS), the Brazilian section of the United Secretariat of the Fourth International, is the largest tendency within the PT that has had a clearly left identification.
		Their view of the PT was that it was a multi-tendency workers party that would be a battering ram for socialist policies.

	The Struggle Inside the Socialist Workers Party (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-03)
		Today in Iran, the workers’ Shoras (councils) have almost entirely lost their independence (where they continue to exist at all) and in most cases have been replaced by the Islamic Anjomans (societies) which were set up by, and are subordinate to, the IRP.
		Had the Iranian workers and peasants developed instead a leadership which explained the need to rely on their own strength, and to seek alliances with the oppressed nationalities (the Kurds, the Azarbaijanis, etc., who represent 60 percent of the population) in their fight for self-determination, the outcome could have been qualitatively different.
		The developing confrontation between the workers and the capitalists in Brazil was reflected in the significant defeat suffered by the government in the 1982 elections, despite extremely undemocratic election procedures.

		Electoral results are in general favourable to the bourgeoisie, either because it is the candidates of their parties who win or because the reformist workers’ parties make alliances and programmatic agreements that force these governments to apply bourgeois programmes, as in the case of Lula.
		The functioning adopted by the Democratic and Socialist Left for the new party with permanent tendencies as a rigid clause, is similar to that of the social democracy and PT.
		The new party championed by “Socialist and Democratic Left” is being born with this, the oldest of all the vices of the left, reformism.

		In Recife, Pernambuco, in Northeast Brazil, the PT responded to a radicalised strike of the state police force by attempting to distance itself from it.
		There is a move underway towards uniting around Itamar Franco (bourgeois populist governor of Minas Gerais state), alongside other groups which formed an alliance with the PT in the last presidential elections, such as PSB and PDT.
		The socialist left within and outside the PT has to be in the frontline, defending workers' interests and raising a socialist alternative.

	AllRefer.com - Hungary -Hungarian Socialist Workers' Party \| Hungarian Information Resource
		The Hungarian Socialist Workers' Party (HSWP) formed the "revolutionary vanguard of the working class" that "organizes and guides the people in their struggle to construct a Socialist society." The ideology, method of decision making, and structure of the HSWP all derived from the Communist Party of the Soviet Union (CPSU).
		In practice, bodies such as the party congress and the Central Committee on the national level and the conference on the county and district levels were too large and met too infrequently to exercise decision-making power (see fig.
		The party, aiming to be a monolithic organization, enforced strict discipline on the membership for violating the Party Rules (see Glossary) and for infringing on the norms of democratic centralism.

		The purpose of the prohibition to study the working of a socialist community, which was justified by a series of threadbare arguments, was really intended to prevent the weaknesses of Marxist doctrines from coming clearly to light in discussions regarding the creation of a practicable socialist society.
		Socialistic writers, especially those who recommend Socialism for ethical reasons, like to say that in a socialistic society public welfare would be the foremost aim of the State, whereas Liberalism considers only the interests of a particular class.
		Socialists admit that under non-socialist production not enough is produced to supply all in abundance, but argue that Socialism would so enormously increase the productivity of labour that it would be possible to create an earthly paradise for an unlimited number of persons.

		As they campaign, socialist workers are acting to respond to the new opportunities and responsibilities they have today to deepen their work as union builders and organizers alongside other workers—from the western coalfields to packinghouses in the Midwest to garment and textile plants.
		These struggles, he said, sharply underscore the increased responsibility that all socialist workers have today to work shoulder-to-shoulder with fellow workers to strengthen their unions or, in plants that are not organized, to help get the union in.
		Nicole Sarmiento, a Young Socialist in Miami and the SWP candidate for U.S. Senate in Florida, and other speakers described their initial experiences in campaigning for the working-class alternative and plans for getting the socialist candidates on the ballot in a dozen states across the country.

	AllRefer.com - Spain - Spanish Socialist Workers' Party \| Spanish Information Resource
		The Spanish Socialist Workers' Party (Partido Socialista Obrero Espanol--PSOE) is the oldest political party in Spain.
		In the mid-1950s, socialist groups began to organize within Spain; and, in the 1960s a small group of activists, led by two young labor lawyers from Seville (Spanish Sevilla), Alfonso Guerra and Felipe Gonzalez, revived the PSOE and began to agitate for changes within the party.
		Although the Socialists had gained support by presenting an image of moderation to the electorate, this stance was vehemently attacked by the more radical members of the party, who criticized Gonzalez and his supporters for placing more emphasis on gaining votes than they did on advancing the interests of the workers.

		Cardoso is implementing one of the most reactionary programmes against the landless peasants and the workers in alliance with all the right wing and former dictatorship forces.
		The PT, instead of defending the workers and peasants against it, is becoming a supporter of Cardoso's offensive against many layers of the discontent people.

		The government has struggled to (a) sustain adequate jobs growth for tens of millions of workers laid off from state-owned enterprises, migrants, and new entrants to the work force; (b) reduce corruption and other economic crimes; and (c) contain environmental damage and social strife related to the economy's rapid transformation.

		The demo came as a challenge to the World Social Forum’s leadership including Lula’s Workers’ Party (PT) and the European “civil society” neo-reformist network which continue to promote the notorious formula “Against war and terror” equating the popular resistance against imperialist war and capitalist globalisation with terrorism.

		Our campaign wavered between the line agreed at the last two national meetings and a (vain) attempt to present the party as a party of the poor while also trying to engage the confidence (or at least the neutrality) of the rich.
