The U.S. Labor Party (USLP) was a political party formed in 1973 by the National Caucus of Labor Committees (NCLC).〔(U.S. Labor Party (1973–) ), ''National party conventions, 1831-1976'," ''Congressional Quarterly'', 1979, p. 197.〕 It served as a vehicle for Lyndon LaRouche to run for President of the United States in 1976, but it also sponsored many candidates for local offices and Congressional and Senate seats between 1972 and 1979. After that the political arm of the NCLC was the National Democratic Policy Committee. The party was the subject of a number of controversies and lawsuits during its short existence. == Party objectives and ideology== LaRouche's résumé describes the USLP as "an independent political association committed to the tradition of Benjamin Franklin, Alexander Hamilton, Henry C. Carey, and President Abraham Lincoln".〔 〕 LaRouche describes it elsewhere as "a new Whig association", adding that an important objective of the party was to fight against "the attempted revival of the 'preventive nuclear war' organization, the revived Committee on the Present Danger".〔 〕 A state leader described the aims of the party and its organ, ''New Solidarity'', as supporting the working class against capitalism, Nelson Rockefeller, and Leonard Woodcock, head of the United Auto Workers.〔 〕 Various commentators have characterize the USLP and NCLC as * "Marxist"〔 * "left wing" * "right wing"〔 * "far right"〔 The USLP predicted collapse of the monetary system by November 1976 and thermonuclear war by 1977.〔 It opposed the Rockefeller family and had a reputation for harassing the Communist Party, the United Auto Workers, and other political foes.〔 In a 1974 interview, the USLP candidate for Governor of Michigan characterized the Watergate scandal as a "deliberate attempt" to discredit Richard Nixon and weaken the presidency.〔 〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「U.S. Labor Party」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
