The International Socialists (IS) was founded at a meeting held in Toronto in February of 1975.
There was, however, a frustration that the socialist side of the perspective was being marginalized, dulling the radical edge of the Waffle’s politics as soon as the organization was independent of the NDP.
The International Socialists was formed in an effort to take a revolutionary socialist path, veering left from social democracy and left nationalism.

It began as the IS Opposition faction, formed in 1975 within the International Socialists (now the Socialist Workers Party), and containing many prominent IS members, including Roger Protz and Jim Higgins.
They had several major disagreements with the IS leadership, including what they perceived as an increasingly ultra left stance, refusing to work with other socialist groups, and what they saw as a reduction in internal democracy.
In 1978, they dissolved themselves into the International Socialist Alliance, which despite its name consisted only of them and a few other expelled IS members.

 Socialist Solidarity Network - Articles
The two most notable of these groupings are the International Socialists, based on the UK Socialist Workers Party; and the Committee for a Workers International (CWI) based on the UK Militant organisation, now known as the Socialist Party.
Even though the international network around Militant is mainly insignificant, the lessons of what went wrong with this organisation touch on many key questions of orientation and organisation which face the whole of the international left.
Socialist revolution was not seen primarily as the activity of the working class itself; and the nature of the bourgeois state apparatus, and the need to smash it, was downplayed.

 scotland: Gleneagles G8 summit in July
The official G8 website created by the UK government argues that the reason that the African continent is afflicted by such poverty and war is because of "poor government".
The UK government’s apparent obsession with airport and motorway expansion shows that, whilst paying lip service to the problem, environmental destruction will pose an ever-growing threat to our world as long as capitalism exists.
Whilst it is important to stress demands, such as the abolition of Third World debt, only the fight for a socialist world based on the democratic organisation and control of production and society will bring an end to the chaos which engulfs the planet today.

 Scotland: The 2005 General Election and the Scottish Socialist Party
The following is a statement of the International Socialists platform (CWI) analysing the vote for the SSP in the recent Westminster elections.
Undoubtedly, the fact that this election was being fought out by three main parties at a UK level, with the Lib Dems posing as a “we’re not them” alternative to the Tories and New Labour helped their cause.
The left in England, including the vote for the Socialist Party, was checked to an extent as a result of the swing to the LibDems and a fear of the Tories being re-elected.

 The Observer | International | French socialists expel former PM
Mainstream French socialist leaders attempted to reassert their authority over the divided party yesterday by expelling former prime minister Laurent Fabius from its executive committee as punishment for leading the campaign against the European constitution.
The gamble by Socialist party first secretary François Hollande of sacking Fabius potentially sets him at odds with the estimated 54 per cent of the party's traditional electorate which voted 'non' in the referendum - against the agreed party line.
The sidelining of Fabius immediately sparked speculation of a presidential race in 2007 between him and newly re-appointed interior minister, Nicolas Sarkozy, leader of the centre-right UMP.

The Socialist leader, Jose Luis Rodriguez Zapatero, is expected to win parliamentary approval to be Spain’s next prime minister on Friday, a little over a month after he won an upset victory in elections held on 13 March.
The Socialists’ pledge to pull Spain’s 1,300 troops out of Iraq if the UN does not take charge by 30 June helped them beat the conservative, pro-United States Popular Party.
Asked whether the new Socialist government could bring forward the date for pulling out the troops, Mr Blanco said 30 June was a "reference date".
