	Green Left - Issues: Who's afraid of the Socialist Alliance?
		That's why the birth of the Socialist Alliance, which draws together the majority of Australian left organisations, is producing hope and enthusiasm — both among “old” lefties who haven't given up on the struggle as well as among many younger activists who have been the driving force behind the S11 and M1 anti-globalisation protests.
		In Portugal, France, Denmark and Italy the radical left has moved beyond its traditional status of propaganda groups for socialism to playing a central role in the social movements, an expanded social base and a presence in local governments, national parliaments and the European Parliament.
		That's why the Socialist Alliance members will be fighting for their program out in the streets — building the movement in defence of refugee rights and demanding the removal of the GST.

	Socialist Left - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Socialist Left faction of the Australian Labor Party (the Left) is an organised political faction that advocates within the party for traditionally Labor interventionist and socialist economic policies.
		The Left is currently the smaller of the two main factions in the federal Caucus, having a total of 38 MP's.
		Federally, the Left is split internally between the "hard" left who promote a more ideologically firm agenda and a more confrontational stance towards the dominant Labor Right faction, and the "soft" left who are more willing to compromise and work with certain members of the Right.

		The Party of European Socialists, a European political party active in the European Parliament, is an associated organization of the Socialist International.
		As of 2006, George Papandreou, leader of the Panhellenic Socialist Movement, is the president of the Socialist International.

	Left and Vietnam War
		Except on the left of the ALP, the Labor conception of Australia's place in the world rested on the same foundations as that of the conservatives: Australia was an independent member of the community of states, capable, without radical social changes, of pursuing its people's interests.
		The radical left won greater influence in the anti-war movement as the campaign declined in the wake of the Government's decision to withdraw combat troops from Vietnam.
		Their rejection of Australian nationalism made possible a recognition that involvement in Vietnam and the US alliance were not betrayals but expressions of Australian nationalism and Australia's national interests.

		The Socialist Party just walked away from it, and now people are left in the position of having to pay this double taxation.
		Socialist Alternative was getting nearly big enough to rival the Socialist Alliance, even though it wasn't a part of it, until it split.
		It is currently the talk of the left in Australia (whoever it was that said the Australian left is tiny and introverted is definitely correct).I wish activists who read this the best of luck in avoiding the kind of sectarianism and internal collapse the left has suffered here in Australia!

	Socialist Unity
		Dave Riley is a member of the new National Executive of the Australian Socialist Alliance.
		Given the massive traditional weight of Laborism that bears down on the socialist left in this country, accusing the Alliance of sectarianism towards the ALP is always guaranteed a baying chorus among those who are hostile to our project.
		When the Socialist Alliance decided in 2003 to advance towards becoming a “multi tendency socialist party” that perspective was premised on our collective commitment that no obstacle would be placed in the path of the DSP integrating into the Alliance.

		He is a novel example of a socialist who moved in the opposite direction to the radical pioneers who left England to spread the gospel of labour politics to the United States, Canada and Australia.
		It is argued that Mackay’s particular brand of Australian socialism allowed a greater doctrinal flexibility that remained absent from the politics of his contemporaries on the parliamentary left. Mackay produced an array of books and pamphlets, but his work merits little attention in the literature on the British Labour Party.
		As an Australian he did not carry the baggage of some of his contemporaries on the British left concerning cross-party alliances and an impulsive anti-European mentality.

	The Australian far left
		The contradiction is that the far left groups played a very useful role in the mobilisation against the war but there's little evidence that any of them have grown much or strengthened their organisations as a result of their efforts, despite their relatively high profile in the demonstrations.
		The political line of the Socialist Party is a straight replica of the line of the former Militant Tendency (now Socialist Party), which practised deep entry in the Labour Party for many years and now focuses on denunciation of the mass labour electoral organisations.

	AGR Online/ World News
		The Socialist Alliance is an unprecedented step forward for the Australian socialist left — and enthusiasm for it is total.
		The Socialist Alliance provides a chance to do more than take advantage of immediate opportunities, though, its participants say: it’s also a chance for the left to find some much-needed common ground and common purpose.
		The upshot of the Socialist Alliance’s formation is hard to underestimate: the days of a weak, divided, ghettoised left appear to be ending, amid a rise of massive, new protest movements and a new sense that revolutionary socialists can unite to popularize their message and again become an important force in Australian politics.
