  • Summary Platform of the Peace and Freedom Party
    SUMMARY PLATFORM OF THE PEACE AND FREEDOM PARTY The Peace and Freedom Party, born from the civil rights and anti-war movements of the 1960s, is committed to socialism, democracy, ecology, feminism, racial equality, and internationalism. We organize toward a world where cooperation replaces competition, a world where all people are well fed, clothed and housed; where all women and men have equal status; where all individuals may freely endeavor to fulfill their own talents and desires; a world of freedom and peace where every community retains its cultural integrity and lives with all others in harmony. Our goals cannot be achieved by electoral means alone. We support mass organization, direct action, a militant labor movement, and establishment of alternative institutions. We offer this summary of our immediate and long-range goals: • Double the minimum wage, and index it • Self-determination for all nations and • Full free high quality public education to the cost of living. peoples of the world, including Puerto Rico from pre-school through graduate • Guarantee the right of all workers to and all U.

Ballots for Equality: An Approach to the Radical Tradition in U.S. Electoral Politics Abstract Posing radical challenges to structural inequality is the defining quality of the Left. What role electoral politics might play in such processes is a dilemma of radical politics, the contours of which vary by historical and national contexts. For the U.S. Left there is a distinctive aspect of the dilemma directly related to the failure of a "Left" party of even the most moderate social democratic type to take root, creating a seemingly never ending debate over the value if any of "third party" progressive organizing. This debate is current, as illustrated by three divergent approaches; independent left electoral politics (Socialist Alternative), organizing within the less conservative of the dominant parties (Progressive Democrats of America), and a social movement focus outside the electoral process (Occupy Movement).

Thanks to their promotion of community self-defence and survival programmes, their role in developing an aesthetics of Black pride and rebellion, and their accompanying critiques of police, state and carceral violence, racial and capitalist exploitation, and global imperialism, the Party’s place as one of the most significant revolutionary movements of the 20th century is assured. In the 21st century, against a backdrop of mounting racial oppression and economic stratification, and specifically in the aftermath of the brutal police murder of George Floyd in May 2020 and the worldwide protests that erupted in response, the Party is perhaps more relevant than ever, with its tactics and analyses forming an integral component of the genealogy of contemporary Black radicalism.
