In November 1974, the Working Peoples Alliance (WPA), a political organization, was formally launched in Guyana. Several Guyanese independent organisations, including WPVP (Working Peoples Vanguard Party), IPRA (Indian Political Revolutionary Associates), RATOON, ASCRIA (African Society for Cultural Relations with Independent Africa) and Independent People made up the 'alliance'. The founding declaration, representing the new policy, cited the stance against race-based electoral politics, violent political repression, worsening economic conditions of the masses, cancerous corruption, and denial of academic and press freedom as factors in the his training. The coalition that included the WPA also addressed regional and international concerns. He was committed to strengthening the unity of the Caribbean masses and identified with the suffering masses of the whole world with the maxim that he fought for the “destruction of imperialism and its neocolonial systems and for the revolutionary unity of all subject peoples and free yourself." More importantly, the critical representation of the “new politics” embodied in the alliance was its multiracial aspect and programmatic statement of promoting racial unity. This was not accidental. The disparate organizations that made up the alliance and the new politics it embraced all emerged in the late 1960s and early 1970s and were emblematic of the convulsions and changes in political culture embodied in the "long sixties." ) of change" in Guyana in the 1960s must be emphasized. The new forces that were emerging and stimulating ruptures with the past emerged from previous pre-independence divisions and deformations, the origins of which lie in the... center of the paper ......to the wedge of society at large. Shortly after the American and British intervention spurred critical changes in the electoral system, the PNC regime, facilitated by an alliance with the conservative United Force political party, gained power in the 1964 elections. In this regard, Cuba's alleged disavowal of its revolutionary commitment to the subversion of Latin American and Caribbean governments has allowed Guyana to take a radical stance without appearing hostile to the United States*. This duality of good relations with Washington on the one hand, and with Cuba and the Third World, will be successfully “balanced” by the Burnham regime until 1985. In short, despite the diplomatic radicalization of the PNC's foreign policy in the period In the 1990s 70, it was true that Guyana's voting record at the United Nations between 1966 and 1969 was identical to the position of the United States.”
