  Workers' Revolutionary Party (UK) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The WRP grew out of the faction Gerry Healy and John Lawrence led in the Revolutionary Communist Party which urged that the RCP enter the Labour Party.
Leaving the Labour Party, the WRP claimed that it was necessary to unconditionally support nationalist groups in various Arabic countries, including Saddam Hussein and Colonel Gaddafi.
The WRP (Workers Press) suffered a series of further splits and is now a tiny organisation known as the Movement for Socialism.

 For a New, Revolutionary, Workers’ Party! Why we’re not signing the Socialist Party’s ...
The Labour Party, while organisationally independent of the capitalists, could never be ‘reclaimed’ by revolutionaries; it has only ever provided a voice for the reformist misleaders of the working class – the labour bureaucracy or ‘labour lieutenants of capital’ as Lenin called them.
For a workers’ party to be of any use to the working class it must give no political support to any section of the bourgeoisie, no matter how ‘radical’ they may seem.
The party must be internationalist and it would be necessary to win its members to understand the importance of actively defending the remaining deformed workers’ states – China, Cuba, North Korea and Vietnam – while also recognising the need for workers’ political revolutions to overthrow the bureaucratic regimes in those societies.

 Our program and theirs: Against opportunism, for a revolutionary workers ' party! : NM IMC
So it is with the Green parties, the first of which was the New Zealand "Values Party," founded by a university economics professor in 1972 who wanted to protect the environment by passing laws to stop economic growth.
The opportunists support the Green Party in order to "build the movement" which at some later, more opportune time, could be won to socialism and revolution, since their idea of a "movement" is a mailing list and membership dues first, and struggle second.
Heaven forbid these "revolutionaries" should try to win the workers walking picket lines, protesting racist police and prisons, defending abortion clinics, or marching against the war and for immigrants' rights to a political perspective that draws these everyday struggles to their necessary conclusion: the conquest of state power by the workers.

 Debate and dicussion: Marxists and the workers’ party | Workers' Liberty   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-16)
As far as I know, the catchphrase “Build the revolutionary party!” or “Build the party!” was first used as a regular slogan, directed at the general public, by French Trotskyists in the mid-1940s.
Those parties have moved to the right; their leaderships have weakened whatever ties they had with working-class organisation and become even more markedly bureaucratic outfits of professional politicians, relating to the populace through the media; active and lively reformism has been extinguished in favour of passive “lesser-evil” reformism.
The British Labour Party had its biggest individual membership, and pushed through its biggest reforms, in the years after World War Two when the British economy was reeling from war damage and the loss of much of its empire, and food was rationed.

 Workers Power | WP297
The party, according to this schema, had to turn in on itself, retreating to propaganda circles amidst a tidal wave of reaction in which“the very concept of Marxism itself was at stake’1.
Workers Power, seeing the emergence in 2001 of the social forums in Italy that drew in students, trade unionists, campaigning organisations, youth and the unemployed, argued that the movement should seek to build such co-ordinations in Britain, uniting these groups around common action against war, racism and neoliberalism.
The expulsion from the Labour Party of George Galloway, a reformist with a strong record of opposition to the UK’s blockades and attacks on Iraq, prompted the SWP to form the populist antiwar coalition Respect in the autumn of 2003.

 Bolivian Workers Need a Revolutionary Party   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-16)
Although the vanguard party would be politically distinct from the mass of workers, its members would participate side by side with their fellow workers in all struggles.
Had the challenge been put to the workers and peasants union leaders to take power themselves, all their wailing about the lack of a revolutionary party, or even the more amorphous discussion of the “political instrument of the working class” so far, could have been put to the test of practice, not rhetoric.
Trotsky’s use of the union-based labor party tactic in the U.S., at one time in the 1930’s, was meant to expose in practice the failure of union leaders to stand for the political independence of the working class, and therefore convince workers of the need for a revolutionary party leadership.

 Puerto Rico General Strike
Revolutionaries must link the present struggle to the fight against colonialism and all forms of oppression, from the struggle against U.S. military bases and for the freedom of independence fighters to the fight against racism and the oppression of women.
Revolutionary communists, in contrast, seek in every struggle to prepare the working class for a fight for state power, treating reforms as a by-product of the revolutionary struggle.
This requires of revolutionaries that they redouble their efforts to forge the revolutionary workers party that is indispensable for the victory of the working class through international socialist revolution.

 Organise a founding conference for a unified revolutionary workers' party   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-16)
The bourgeois parties that were considered to have popular roots like the Radicals and the Peronists (and their pathetic shadow, Frepaso) over the last decades have presided over the worst decline in the infrastructure in the history of the country.
A unified revolutionary workers' party would be able to make propaganda and agitate throughout the country with transitional demands aimed at winning workers' power, and for the creation of large, democratic organisations of struggle: coordination committees, and councils (or assemblies) of workers and the masses.
A workers' and socialist revolution is inconceivable unless the workers, both employed and unemployed, show the way and organise the poor masses of the city and the countryside, the students, small shopkeepers and producers, impoverished farmers, swindled small savers, and the professionals and intellectuals - all those who want a society without hunger and injustice.

 The party & the national question
I say it can be because much depends on how the workers who are part of the oppressing nation understand their interests and responsibilities in relation to the struggle of the nationally oppressed.
“[Some] say that each nation within the confines of the U.S. should build their own Party and that since the workers of the oppressing nation and the workers of the oppressed nation have different problems arising from the nature of the oppression, it is impossible, at least for now, to have a single united Party.
This conference has been a milestone for us because it represents the development of an honest dialog with serious leaders from organizations of the oppressed, many of them Marxists, on a wide variety of subjects having to do with where the struggle is at today and what needs to be done.

 Workers World April 2, 1998: Richard Becker at Sam Marcy Tribute
That didn’t mean that all party members spent full time as party activists; most party members have to work, both for financial reasons and to be among the workers.
In the other socialist parties of that time, the leaders were typically professors, lawyers, ministers—more privileged elements, almost always white men—who might only be seen at the weekly meeting, where they would make their speeches and be on their way.
It was the basis of the bond between the party and the masses that made the victory of the revolution possible.

 No to Bush, Kerry, Nader: For a Workers Party
That we need a workers party, a party that represents the working class as opposed to all the bourgeois parties, which represent the interests of the ruling class.
The workers’ party must never be the tagtail of any bourgeois party; it must be independent and have its own policy.” This was in a speech he made to the First International, the International Workingmen’s Association, in September 1871.
At certain times a revolutionary party may put forward candidates, not for the purpose of taking office – as Aubeen said, you can’t vote exploitation out of office – but as another means of presenting its own program.

 Duncan Hallas: Cult comes a cropper (1985)
The WRP’s forerunner emerged from the disintegrating British Trotskyist organisation in 1947.

The WRP has visibly declined in the last decade and is now scarcely of even marginal significance.
