Page "Workers World Party" Paragraph 0

Workers World Party ( WWP ) is a socialist political party in the United States, founded in 1959 by a group led by Sam Marcy.

Marcy and his followers split from the Socialist Workers Party in 1958 over a series of long-standing differences, among them Marcy's group's support for Henry A. Wallace's Progressive Party in 1948, the positive view they held of the Chinese Revolution led by Mao Zedong, and their defense of the 1956 Soviet intervention in Hungary, all of which the SWP opposed.
