The United Front: Concept, Practice, & Historical Lessons

What kind of unity do oppressed and working people need today? Certainly not the Democrats’ version of bi-partisanship that will cause more repression and misery for the 99% while the 1% add billions to their bloated portfolios.

The united front is a movement tactic in which political groups and activists collaborate against a common enemy or for any agreed objective, even if they are politically different in other ways.

United fronts are a very effective method of advancing the growth, strength, and unity of the working-class movement, which is an urgent task now.

In this online study group, to be held on Zoom, we will discuss:

- The purpose, principles, structure, and actions of united fronts

- Why united fronts are so important

- Their role in the revolutionary movements of history as well as today

- How to apply lessons from history to today’s challenges

- Practical wisdom that we can use to build our own united fronts

- The united front model of solidarity in action

- How and why united fronts have won significant gains, while failing to form them has resulted in painful defeats
