Socialist Labor Party Leaflets

This archive contains the text of various leaflets that were distributed by the Socialist Labor Party of America.

To find the official source of SLP leaflets, please go to slp.org >> Essential SLP Documents >> Statements and Leaflets.

The page you are now viewing is an unofficial compilation made by an SLP nonmember. This feature is not intended to be complete or up-to-date. The purpose of this feature is to show a representative sample of the kinds of socialist explanations the SLP published in the form of street-distributed 4- to 6-page leaflets during a certain period of time beginning in the 1950s. Some of the contents are provided for purposes of historical reference; that is, the documents may not necessarily reflect the most current SLP viewpoint about social issues, or they may address moot issues of past decades.

This feature was produced by means of scanning and OCR, with the written permission, but not the formal endorsement, of the SLP national office.

Illustrations that accompanied the text in the original leaflets will be added in the near future.
