United Front for a Workers Party homepage

There is no longer even the pretense of difference between the so-called Republican and Democratic parties. They are substantially one in what they stand for. They are opposed to each other on no question of principle but purely in a contest for the spoils of office. They, or rather it, stands for capitalism, for the exploitation of the workers, and for wage-slavery.

Which Side Are You On?

Kshama Sawant is running for Congress against Adam Smith, a 30-year incumbent who funded the genocide in Gaza, broke a railroad strike, and voted to create ICE. Three other candidates have thrown their hats in the ring to stop Kshama and hand the election to Smith.

The Bizarre Campaign of Melissa Chaudhry

Em Smith

Chaudhry’s campaign is a strange thing to behold. Whose interests does Melissa Chaudhry represent?

Sawant or Mamdani

Kshama Sawant was elected as an independent socialist to Seattle City Council. Six months later, Seattle became the first major city to pass a $15 minimum wage. But we’re now over six months into Mamdani’s term as mayor, and what does he have to show for it?

What is wrong with the left?

A handful of other socialist organizations have endorsed Kshama’s campaign. But most of the left has failed to leave sectarianism and infighting tendencies behind.

Our Strategy

Capitalism has been a disaster for the working class.

Both capitalist parties — Democrat and Republican — have overseen war, genocide, climate catastrophe, and a spiraling cost-of-living crisis.

70 percent of Americans support a single-payer healthcare system, 60 percent support ending U.S. military aid to Israel, and 80 percent support rent control — this includes supermajorities of self-identified Democrats, Republicans, and Independents.

Why haven’t these things been done? Because neither party represents workers. They represent billionaires, corporate landlords, the health insurance industry, Big Pharma, the weapons manufacturers, Big Oil & Gas, and the capitalist system as a whole.

Millions of Americans know this. A record-breaking 45 percent of Americans identify as political independents, and 62 percent say we need a new party. 58 percent disapprove of the Republicans’ job in Congress, and 73 percent disapprove of the Democrats.

Get Involved

Join the fight for socialism today! A new party of the working class is desperately needed to fight back against the crisis of capitalism. We have a chance to take a huge step toward creating such a party in electing an independent socialist to U.S. Congress!
