The Workers' Party of America

The Workers' Party of America was a short-lived communist political organization in the United States, active mainly from 1921 to 1929. It aimed to represent working-class interests by advocating for workers' rights, socialism, and revolutionary change to establish a socialist society. The party emerged from the broader international communist movement and aligned with the Soviet Union, emphasizing class struggle and radical economic reforms. Although it sought to influence American politics, it faced significant opposition, limited electoral success, and eventually merged with other communist groups. It played a role in shaping early leftist movements in the U.S. during the early 20th century.
