The Socialist Labor Party of America (SLP), established in 1876, is the oldest socialist political party in the United States and the second oldest socialist party in the world. Originally known as the Workingmen's Party of America, the party changed its name in 1877 and has operated continuously since that date, although its current existence is tenuous. The party advocates the ideology of "socialist industrial unionism" — belief in a fundamental transformation of society through the combined political and industrial action of the working class organized in industrial unions. While the SLP maintains it is a socialist party, most observers agree their program is clearly anarcho-syndicalist.

The SLP closed its national office on September 1, 2008. The SLP, while completely inactive, carries on, mainly as a paper organization amongst the remaining members.

Are there more right-wingers in America or more left-wingers?
Q. The terms left-wing and right-wing originated in the era of the French Revolution. The right-wing was the wealthy-elite, ruling-class aristocracy along with the church hierarchy who owned massive tracts of land. The left-wing was the underclass of workers, farmers and small merchants. The separation of society is along class lines. It is the division of wealth that determines political position. If you are working class, you are a member of the left-wing. If you are a rentier (one who makes money through bond interest payments, dividend payments, rents and/or royalties) you are a member of the right-wing. More simply put, if you are working class, you're left-wing. If you make your money by exploiting the working class, you're right… [cont.]

A. I completly agree, in that sense, i think there are obviousely more left wingers, its just that americans are so dumb, they dont realize it. They are perfectly ok with starving to death and being prisoners who are exploited, they are easily brainwashed with religouse fervor to keep some of them in their place. I agree, if america was a smart country, we'd be a France or UK.

Michael Moore s SiCKO misses facts.?
Q. SKiPO Michael Moore s SiCKO misses facts. Michael Moore s new movie, SiCKO, should be called SKiPO, since it skips over so many vital facts en route to government medicine. An engaging and surprisingly funny Moore explores a grim topic: America s problematic health-care system. Moore effectively diagnoses one of its key ailments. HMOs and other managed-care companies often earn billions by just saying, No to victims of grave illnesses. Moore introduces us to real men, women, and children who this industry has failed. Bankrupted by cancer- and coronary-related medical bills, Donna and Larry Smith move into their grown daughter s home storage room.

A. I saw SiCKO Fri night and it was pretty amazing. It showed the 9/11 rescue people who were called heroes by Bush and Giuliani but now they need health care from the injuries and problems they got working on ground zero. Why won't America take care of our heroes??? That's the question we need to answer. Also how can every other country like us give everyone health care and why can't we?? We need answers to these questions. See the film!
