Hey, did JLA actually come? You didn't introduce me to any such person, sigh.
"The WWP was created by the Soviet KGB in 1957, with the initial task of helping the Kremlin create a favorable impression of the 1956 Soviet invasion of Hungary among the trade unions and "colored" population of the United States. It was run by a Soviet-style secretariat whose members were secretly indoctrinated and trained by the KGB, which also financed its day-to-day operation. In 1959 the WWP got its own newspaper, Workers World, which was edited by the KGB's disinformation department. To camouflage Moscow's hand and to give the paper a broader appeal, the early issues showed both Lenin and Trotsky holding up a banner saying, "Colored and White Unite and Fight for a WORKERS WORLD." By 1978, when I broke with Communism, the WWP newspaper was being secretly edited in Romania under the auspices of the Comintern journal entitled Problems of Peace and Socialism (the English translation of which was called World Marxist Review), which was then headquartered in Bucharest. After the Soviet Union collapsed, the WWP apparently took on a life of its own, as did many other Cold War operations I had been involved with. Currently, the WWP has a national office in New York (55 W. 17th Street) and 18 regional headquarters across the United States, the addresses of which are posted on the Internet. Now the WWP represents itself as a "national Marxist-Leninist party promoting socialism, supporting working class struggles and lesbian/gay/bi/trans liberation, organizing protests, and denouncing racism and sexism." Two of its leaders, Larry Holmes and Monica G. Moorehead, repeatedly ran for president of the United States on the WWP ticket. Both portrayed the United States as a country run by war-mongering governments, and both insinuated that America was full of political prisoners. The WWP newspaper Workers World is also still around and maintains its Cold War rhetoric. Its website states: "We're independent Marxists" whose "goal is solidarity of all the workers and oppressed against this criminal imperialist system." Over the years, the WWP created several front organizations along Soviet lines, such as the Youth Against War and Fascism, the United Labor Action, and the American Servicemen's Union. Most recently the WWP spawned another front called ANSWER, standing for Act Now to Stop War and End Racism, which is run by the same people running the WWP. ANSWER is supported by numerous domestic and foreign Marxist bodies (the Lebanese Communist party, the New Communist party of the Netherlands, the Partido Comunista de la Argentina) and by other anti-American organizations (the Italian Tribunal on NATO Crimes, the Green party USA, the Canadian-Cuban Friendship)."
