Underscoring the urgency in building of a World Party of the Working Class, on the basis of the program of Permanent Revolution, the program of the WSP says: “The urgency of building such a party of the working class is underscored by the fact that under the impact of the global capitalist crisis, the working class is being propelled into struggle, yet everywhere it immediately comes up against the fact that the organizations that once claimed to speak in its name—the remnants of the Stalinist parties, Social Democracy and the Trade Unions—uphold the capitalist profit system and seek to split the working class along national lines.”
Calling for opposition to the trade union bureaucracies everywhere, WSP calls upon the workers to shun the illusions in Trade Unions, that have become Trozan Horses for bureaucracy. The program, traces back the origin, development and decay of the Trade Unions: “At the advent of old national capitalism based upon ‘free competition’, the Trade Unions have emerged as combination of workers, out of the system of bargain for better working conditions, primarily for the better sale price of their labour, at the hands of capitalists. However, after emergence of Imperialism, the trade union movement, became a ready bastion for reformism and opportunism and started to degenerate first in Imperialist countries and then in the entire world. In the age of globally mobile capital and dismantling of the national economic structures under its hand, the trade unions have lost all their steam. They remain plagued by trade sectarianism, under domination of a labour aristocracy everywhere.”
