As John Reimann noted being a founding member of the predessor to Socialist Alternative. Cue to a polemical boilerplate denunciation of Labor Party Associates , for dissolving the noted chapter pushing for a break from the graveyard of social movements, the 2nd Party of the imperialist bourgeoisie , the DP.
Socialist Alternative was officially formed as Labor Militant in 1986 by members of the Committee for a Workers' International ( https://en.wikipedia.org/api/rest_v1/page/mobile-html/Committee_for_a_Workers'_International_(1974) ) who had moved to the United States and formed the Labor and Trade Union Group in the early 1980s. Labor Militant was a small group with its membership made mostly of trade union members. By the mid-1990s, Labor Militant became part of a campaign to form the Labor Party ( https://en.wikipedia.org/api/rest_v1/page/mobile-html/Labor_Party_(United_States,_1996) ) where it was in the leadership of the New York Metro Chapter. The New York Metro Chapter, the largest in the country, saw Labor Militant and its allies run again for the leadership of the chapter under the United Action slate only to be defeated in an Executive Committee election. Labor Militant members and the United Action slate had argued that the Labor Party should vigorously run candidates against the Democrats ( https://en.wikipedia.org/api/rest_v1/page/mobile-html/Democratic_Party_(United_States) ) , whereas the national leadership of the Labor Party refused to take such an approach. After the election, the New York Labor Party State Executive upheld the election results while suspending the New York Metro Chapter and several of its officers, eventually shutting down the chapter.
