		Socialists were people who thought that democracy was such a good idea that it ought to be taken a step or two further.
		I think that having a social democratic movement in the form of a labor movement— because the labor movement in many ways is a social democratic movement—is something that is absolutely essential.
		I was a formally a socialist for the first few decades of my life, and much of the good I've done or seen done by others has come out of commitments to social justice that came from the socialist movement.

	Building The Anti-War Movement :: The Socialist 28 March 2003
		In particular, Socialist Party reps argued that the key issue now was to take account of how the mood changes from day to day and to draw upon the strong anti-war mood that exists.
		That is why the Socialist Party proposal for organising a meeting of workplace reps, union executive committee members and general secretaries is crucial.
		All Socialist Party members with union positions are urged to attend the meeting and ensure it successfully maps out concrete plans that could mobilise millions of workers to take action against the war and against the New Labour government.

	The Australian Fabians must remain a movement for socialist reform : Melbourne Indymedia
		In Australia, the class struggle which once animated the socialist movement is at a low ebb: the consequence of deindustrialization, labour movement demobilization and a resulting loss of class consciousness.
		Labour movement bureaucracies are often afraid to lead struggles for fear of legal retaliation from government, the strength of the State to suppress struggle and dissent, and the prospective loss of assets and institutional strength.
		The movement for change appears largely to be one aimed at broadening the base at the expense of ideological content.

		Campaign for the Socialist ticket of David McReynolds (for president) and Mary Cal Hollis (for vice-president) on obtaining ballot access, and the participants made a commitment to promote the SPUSA in local progressive causes were made.
		The Socialist Party was down to about 2,000 members, and had more or less withdrawn from electoral action in the face of the increasingly restrictive ballot-access laws passed by state legislatures around the country.
		Since this meant the Socialist Party was completely isolated from the anti-war movement, as well as from the so-called "New Left," it was virtually the only left party in the country that did not experience a major upsurge in membership during this period.

	The International Socialist Organization and the 2006 election
		The organization’s newspaper, Socialist Worker, warns regularly against orienting the protest movements in which the ISO participates to the Democratic Party, yet the ISO is mounting no direct political challenge to the Democrats.

		He joined the Socialist Workers Party (SWP) as a student radical precisely at the point when the SWP was breaking with Trotskyism and the struggle for socialism in the working class in order to embrace Castroism, middle-class protest and various forms of identity politics.

	Al-Ahram Weekly \| Region \| Foregone conclusion (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-04)
		Ben Ali swept the polls with 94.48 per cent of the vote, while his Democratic Constitutional Rally Party won an overwhelming parliamentary majority: 152 seats as opposed to the 37 seats distributed among the so-called "happy" opposition parties -- political groups in cahoots with the government.
		Also in keeping with their forecast, the Attajdid (Renovation) Movement won only three seats, two down from the five it had held in the previous parliament, while the Progressive Democratic Party (PDP), which they had not even bothered to mention, won none.
		The 57-year-old philosophy professor's campaign initiative was having such an impact that Tunisian authorities confiscated his party's electoral manifesto and barred its parliamentary candidates from access to public television, in response to which they staged a protest demonstration that marched through the capital until it was intercepted before reaching the Ministry of Interior.

	Luxemburg and the National Question – World Socialist Movement
		In 1848, she pointed out, western European democrats, amongst whom Marx must be included, wanted an independent Poland established to act as a buffer between Tsarist Russia and West Europe so as to remove the threat of Tsarist intervention to halt the extension of political democracy there.
		Luxemburg regarded an end to discrimination on national or language grounds-with full provision for the use of minority languages in all aspects of social and political life-as an integral part of the political democracy she was urging to be established under capitalism as a means of facilitating the struggle for Socialism.
		Luxemburg of course knew what Socialism was and did carry out propaganda for it, but as a Social Democrat was committed to the mistaken theory that a socialist party should have a "minimum" programme of political and social reforms to be achieved within capitalism as well as the "maximum" programme of socialism.

		Moreover, in practice, most of these Democrats will collapse into the prowar camp (announcing that we must rally around the president in a time of war) as soon as the attack starts, whether or not it has the UN rubber stamp.
		Almost every Democrat in Congress and liberal publication supported that war, in which fighting terror was used as a pretext for advancing U.S. strategic aims in the region that had been planned before September 11.
		The clearer our movement is about what drives American foreign policy, the need to reject the lies about “fighting terrorism” and other excuses for imperial power projection, and the role the Democratic Party has played as a supporter of U.S. power abroad, the stronger our movement will be.

	Hillary Clinton, the Democrats and the Iraq war: A socialist alternative (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-04)
		So long as it remains tied to the Democrats and the perspective of pressuring the parties and institutions of America’s ruling elite, the antiwar movement will be a means not of ending the war but merely of venting the outrage felt by millions.
		Hillary Clinton is the most representative leader of the Democratic Party as a whole and its attitude towards war, which is why she is considered the front-runner in the bid for the 2008 presidential nomination.
		The Socialist Equality Party advances a program for the radical reorganization of the economy in the interests of working people, including the repeal of the past two decades of tax cuts for the rich and a sharp increase in tax on corporate profits and the accumulated wealth of the super-rich.

		The charges against all of the republican socialists, except one, were eventually overturned on the basis of evidence that the Garda had used torture to extract confessions from the accused, but the fiasco still drags on to this day, as the former defendants fight for compensation from the State for the ordeal.
		Survival as an organization can be cause enough for celebration, when a movement has surmouned the array of obstacles the IRSM have had placed in their path, but a revolutionary movement must do more than simply survive.
		Irish Republican Socialist POWs were actively involved in the blanket and dirty protests against crimin alization of political prisoners, with the highest ratio of prisoners participating of any republican organization.

		At the dawn of a new century, the socialist movement is at a crossroads.
		Slowly but surely socialist principles became watered down, revolutionary ideas were paid lip-service to as the parties activities became increasingly reformist in nature.
		Like the social democrats, they became reformist, standing out only for the rapidity with which careerism, party politics, and business-as-usual once again played themselvs out in their saga of compromise and betrayal of principle.

	11th Anniversary of the Communist Party of the Workers of Tunisia
		Many leaders of the main legal opposition party, the MDS (Movement of Socialist Democrats), have come to have a bitter experience.
		Presently the crucial tactic is that which our party has defined in its document regarding "the general situation in the country and the tasks of this stage." This tactic relies on the necessity of awakening the popular movement of the masses of different sectors around their most urgent social, political and cultural demands.
		If our party assumes this responsibility together with the democratic and progressive forces who refuse to collaborate with fascism, this will constitute a fundamental guarantee that the scenario of November 7, 1987, will not be repeated again.
