An American Labor Party can be quickly assembled in the United States ?


"Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) received applause over the weekend after she announced the launch of a new political action committee designed to directly challenge the power of the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee by helping insurgent, left-leaning challengers like herself take on both Republican incumbents and centrist Democrats. "

As a lifelong independent socialist it is easy enough for me to give limited critical support to certain mainstream news media designated " far left " Democrats like Alexandria Ocasio -Cortez and Bernie Sanders based on rather incoherent rhetoric.

 But does not the experience of History count here ? It is far easier for the Democrat Party to corrupt its " far left " idealists than for them to dramatically reform the Democrat Party. It is tense political drama and I will give these Establishment owned " progressives " and " socialists " A for effort and A+ for theatrics .

Not believing in self-appointed " Marxist " VANGUARD PARTIES myself I see the wider community - including the Christian Churches,the Catholic and Protestant faithful - forming the backbone of an American Labor Party which will be far more effective at REFORM than sectarian Marxist parties are at " revolution " . And less bluffing about REVOLUTION !

Very quickly in the United States a mass party similar in CLASS composition to the British Labor Party can be assembled. American capitalist society is just too complex for the effete TWO PARTY SYSTEM .

Could not a THREE PARTY SYSTEM best change and stabilize a capitalist social- political-economic order crudely described as consisting of THE VERY RICH, THE MIDDLE CLASS, THE WORKING CLASS ( which includes the poor , the jobless, the destitute homeless ) ?
