The Haitian Workers' Party[a] was an anti-revisionist communist party in Haiti, founded in 1966.[1] It was relatively well-organised, had a strong presence among agricultural workers, and had extensive links to communists in the neighbouring 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]
The party had close relations with the Party of Labour of Albania and received financial and operational support from the Albanian communists.[4]: 13
