Steven Argue is a former leader of the socialist California Peace and Freedom Party. He split from that group citing opposition to their support for the Democratic Party (United States) and Green Party (United States) in local elections as well as differences on the issue of the UN in Iraq.
Staunchly socialist the group rejects both the Democrat and Republican Parties as capitalist parties of war, racism, union busting, sexism, homophobia, environmental degradation and corporate exploitation. They instead seek to build a movement of revolutionary socialism as the working class alternative.
