Reply #13: A real labor party.. [View All]

That's the only alternative, to start a genuine worker's party. I'm not talking about neo-Marxism, but a party that addresses the genuine economic and social concerns of workers: jobs, stagnant wages, unfair trade agreements, education/vocational training, and access to healthcare. The Democrats have too many traitors in their national leadership to effectively take up these issues. The bankruptcy bill, elimination of overtime pay, and tort "reform": these bills make it clear that the working class is not a priority in this country. Unfortunately, within the Democratic Party, there are many who consciously support cheap labor because they enjoy the cheap commodities and goods that are on the market.
