		The party soon split, with the Socialist League of William Morris becoming divided between anarchists and Marxists such as Morris and Eleanor Marx.
		The Liberal Party was worried about the possibility of a socialist party taking the bulk of the working class vote, while their great rivals the Conservatives initiated occasional intrigues to encourage socialist candidates to stand against the Liberals.
		Opposed by many socialists and trade unionists, it had little success as union militants, many close to the CPGB, led the successful 1974 UK miners' strike, the well-supported but ultimately unsuccessful Grunwick dispute, and the 1978-79 Winter of Discontent.

	Bryan D. Palmer \| Reasoning Rebellion: E.P. Thompson, British Marxist Historians, and the Making of Dissident Political ...
		In struggling to bring forth a new socialist humanism from the ashes of Stalinism, Thompson and Saville were inevitably drawn into a discourse that spoke with varied accents and in different languages.
		No socialist trade unionist can ignore this problem in an economy in which three-quarters of the women 'employees' are not organised into trade unions, in which the wages and conditions of the workers in the Wages Council stagnate or improve far less than the those of well organised workers....
		But in the project of theorizing a communism that was oppositional, and in conceptualizing the project of socialist renewal as well as the organizational making of a New Left, Thompson's ideas and perspectives on human agency in their historically, class-embedded forms took on a certain clarity.

		Socialist activity made it hard to obtain or retain work, and by the early 1890s he had a wife and three daughters to support.
		Those positions were not general in the socialist movement of that period, where many recruits had experienced oppression by priests and pastors long before they understood anything about economic exploitation.
		Like most socialist leaders, he surrendered to patriotism in 1914, so his reputation as an internationalist is based on the accident of geography which caused him to be shot rather than be given a Cabinet seat.

	Weekly Worker 422 Thursday March 7 2002
		The Socialist Worker platform picked its issues at the SSP’s conference carefully, reflecting the fact that this was the platform’s first conference test since it joined on May 1 last year.
		Although the International Socialist Movement (ex-Scottish Militant Labour majority) probably had the biggest single factional presence, the ISM could also usually rely on substantial support from the factionally non-aligned.
		Formally the SW platform is committed to working class unity against the British state, but it looks unlikely that they will be keen to organise and lead opposition to the executive on this question, opportunist-ically recasting the question as one that should be viewed purely as a ‘tactical’ issue: ie, a ‘referendum on Blairism’.

	Peter Sedgwick: The Two New Lefts (1964)
		It might, of course, be argued that a socialist movement is better off for being in, as it were, a state of cultural illegality.
		Rather it theorized upon the role of the mass media in a class-divided society, and on the relationship between a critique of the media and the overall socialist case against capitalism.
		NLR was from its inception intended to be ‘both the product of the socialist movement and the point at which this movement is reproduced’ [6]; the trajectory of socialism is, however, by no means that of a merry-go-round in which each specialized hobby-horse rotates into view by turns.

	Scottish Socialist Party Conference 2004 - Building a socialist alternative
		We need to continue to combat any trends towards „anti-political trade unionism‰, because workers‚ daily lives are shaped by political decisions and workers need active political involvement both through and beyond the confines of the trade union if the are to shape their own and their communities‚ future.
		We believe it is essential that principles such as a ‘workers on a workers wage’ are defended wholeheartedly, especially in the aftermath of our own experience of increased working class support for the SSP because of this principled stance in Scotland.
		We believe that a clear socialist identity is necessary to halt the rise of the far-right in England and Wales and provide the trade unions with a clear socialist alternative to the New Labour Government.

		This motion was immediately challenged by Morris Hillquit, leader of the Socialists, who called attention to the fact that the committees on credentials and resolutions had not as yet reported and that no real binding action could be taken until the delegates duly authorized to attend the convention had been selected.
		Throughout the demonstration, the Socialists sat silently, not because of any lack of enthusiasm for LaFollette, but because they were anxious to proceed with the organization work which seemed to them as important as the selection of a presidential candidate.
		The Socialists, reluctantly in private committee meetings, but loyally on the floor of the convention, had agreed to go along with LaFollette and wait upon the later formation of a third party.
