  Socialism and Freedom Party - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Socialism and Freedom Party (Partido Socialismo e Liberdade, P-SOL) is a Brazilian political party.
Among the party leaders are senators Heloisa Helena (Alagoas) and Geraldo Mesquita (Acre), federal deputies Luciana Genro (Rio Grande do Sul) and Babá (Pará), and a number of well-known Brazilian left-wing leaders and intellectuals, such as Milton Temer, Carlos Nelson Coutinho, Ricardo Antunes, Francisco de Oliveira, João Machado and others.
PSOL was formed after Heloisa Helena, Luciana Genro, Babá and João Fontes (also a federal deputy, now a member of the PDT) were expelled from the Workers' Party, after voting against the neo-liberal pension reform proposed by Lula.

German socialism forgot, in the nick of time, that the French criticism, whose silly echo it was, presupposed the existence of modern bourgeois society, with its corresponding economic conditions of existence, and the political constitution adapted thereto, the very things whose attainment was the object of the pending struggle in Germany.
