The Socialist Labor Party (U.S.)

The Socialist Labor Party (SLP) is a political organization founded in 1876 in the United States, advocating for socialism based on the ideas of workers controlling the means of production. It seeks to establish a system where laborers collectively own and operate industries, aiming to reduce inequality and promote economic democracy. The SLP emphasizes electoral participation, education on socialist principles, and reforms to improve workers’ rights and living conditions. While it has historically been a small party, it remains committed to its core goal of establishing a socialist economy in the U.S. through democratic means.
