Socialist Workers Party (Various)

The Socialist Workers Party (SWP) is a political organization that advocates for socialist ideas, aiming to create a society where workers control resources and government. Founded in 1938 in the United States, it emphasizes workers’ rights, anti-capitalism, and social equality. The party promotes revolutionary change through activism, protests, and education to challenge corporate power and inequality. It is part of a broader international socialist movement, focusing on building a class-conscious movement to eventually establish socialism. The SWP differs from mainstream parties by prioritizing revolutionary ideals over incremental reforms within the current system.
