I'm having trouble getting access to this piece. However, the Workingmen's Party of California grew from the interests of small Euro-American proprietors resisting the rise of railroads and the forces of industrial capitalism. Like all such operations its appealed to "workingmen," but no more so than the major capitalist parties. And, it was prone, like all, to embrace misleading labels. It was hardly "anticapitalist" in the sense of opposing the capitalist order in general. And it was certainly never "Marxist" in any way, shape or form.
