An example of an organization that is attempting to organize an
international party along these lines is the Progressive Labor Party,
which was formed in the early 1960s.  They are actively involved in
the UNAM strike in Mexico City, in workers' struggles in Central
America, the Caribbean, and South America, and among workers and
students in the U.S.  They reject all forms of nationalism and are
trying to build one international party, not separate national
parties in each country.  Their website is at www.plp.org


COMMENT:
I would like to point out that supporting and organizing strikes is not
"revolutionary violence". In Canada it is a legal ("systemic" if you wish)
activity supported by the constitution. I see a discrepancy between
revolutionary rhetoric and de facto nonviolent behaviour of this party.
