Haitian Workers' Party

Communist party in Haiti From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Haitian Workers' Party[a] was an anti-revisionist, Marxist–Leninist communist party in Haiti, founded in 1966.[1] It was relatively well-organized, had a strong presence among agricultural workers, and had extensive links to communists in the neighboring Dominican Republic.[2] The party promoted itself as the only real alternative to the regime of François Duvalier, and attempted to weaken the influence of other opposition groups, particularly the Unified Party of Haitian Communists.[3]
