	New Socialist Magazine, What Kind Of Socialist Organization?, Articles
		Socialists need to be part of this struggle in the most non-reductionist sense of the term - opposing the rule of capital and all forms of oppression.
		The ways socialists organize ourselves today to work toward socialist transformation should be guided by how we understand three things: the struggle for socialism, what the priorities of socialists in today's political conditions should be, and what ways of organizing are most effective in helping us to work on these priorities.
		Forms of socialist organizing that hinder people from democratically organizing themselves, keep people dependent on union officials, politicians or radical activists, or make it harder for people to develop deeper understandings of society through their own experiences are not building capacities for truly radical change.

	Letter of Resignation from Socialist Alternative : Melbourne Indymedia
		Socialist Alternative has been rocked by the resignation of leading members of the Brisbane and Sydney branches.
		The sectarian assessment of, and approach to; the campus left, the over-emphasis on routine (or perhaps we should say ‘routinism’); the attempts to drive out dissidents; and the numerous clashes that comrades in Sydney and Brisbane have had with the leadership all testify to the degeneration of the organisation.
		The Socialist Alternative NE have proven themselves to be completely incapable of developing an organisation that can ever rise above the level of a sect.

	A Socialist alternative to the European Union
		From a socialist point of view, the uniting of these economies would be an entirely rational development, as part of the Socialist United States of Europe.
		Socialists must take an independent class viewpoint, and not be pushed into positions that defend the interests of one or another section of the capitalist class.
		However, it is necessary to link the general demands to a concrete programme of struggle against all attempts to put the burden of the crisis of capitalism on the shoulders of the working class, the old, the unemployed, the sick, the women and youth.

	Clubs and Societies

	Socialism
		At the same time, it must be said, that the conflict in socialist thought between the desire to foster a new kind of social cooperation and a tendency to have recourse to elitist methods that I have been tracing, did not disappear with the development of Marxism but only took on greater ambiguity.
		This is certainly the project of "democratic socialists" and is signaled by the adjective "democratic" which is now being highlighted more than ever to distinguish it from "authoritarian" or "totalitarian" socialism --either as it was imagined in the past, or practiced in the present.
		This concept of alternative system building, which is present throughout every concept of socialism and every effort to actually construct a socialist society, seems to me to reproduce one of the most fundamental characteristics of the kind of society that it has always sought to replace.

	Socialist View (Summer 2006) - Scotland: Building a new socialist alternative
		In Germany the emergence of the WASG (Election Alternative for Work and Social Justice) was as a direct result of the experience of eight years of the Red-Green government and an unprecedented assault on the working class and the unemployed.
		The split in the Scottish Socialist Party was the responsibility of the SSP leadership and a direct result of their actions before, during and after Tommy Sheridan’s spectacular victory over the News of the World.
		Any policy that results in socialists advocating a vote for the SNP would, in the eyes of working class people, weaken the ability of a new party to fight to defend working class peoples’ interests.

		The Socialist Alternative, with a more aggressive approach to activism, filled their shoes, taking positions that even PSLM at their most radical might have considered impractical.
		According to several members of the Socialist Alternative, combatting layoffs at Harvard was first on the agenda this year.
		“Socialist Alternative was talking to PSLM about what kind of role they would take, and PSLM just has a different style,” says Fenstermacher, who says he preferred PSLM’s slow burning methods of education and gradual building over the No Layoff Campaign’s action-oriented disposition.

	Socialist Democracy Statement on the Northern Assembly Elections
		The reformist core to the Socialist Party’s politics, though heavily disguised by Marxist rhetoric, is cruelly exposed by the sharp contradictions of the Northern State.
		Socialists must in all honesty say that even with their existence the SWP has no useful role to play except to make socialism look like the refuge of idiots.
		The task of building a genuine socialist alternative will not be taken forward by these left organisations standing and their greater or lesser success does not seriously impinge on the tasks facing the rebuilding of the workers’ movement.

	On democratic centralism - Socialist Alternative
		The small socialist groups that exist today are, of course, not exactly parallel to the groups of socialists that existed in Russia in the 1880s and 1890s.
		So in opposing the demand of the Jewish Socialist group, the Bund, and of the Latvian Social Democrats to have their own independent organisations within the RSDLP, Lenin used the term democratic centralist to simply mean a unified party as distinct from a federation of independent national groups.
		Any socialist group needs to have some process for democratic decision-making and any form of democratic decision making necessarily entails a degree of centralism - after debate and discussion a vote is taken and the majority decision is implemented, while the minority maintains the right to argue for its position on a subsequent occasion.

		The Harvard Socialist Alternative kicked off the year with a speaking presentation by Bart Vandersteene, who hails from Belgium and is a founding member of both International Resistance and Youth against Racism.
		Of course, even an ardent conservative knows that one need not actually be a socialist to feel antipathy towards layoffs or George W., so I wondered for a second what exactly the Socialist Alternative was an alternative to.
		Iraq as a despotic nation was certainly not socialist, and therefore according to Vandersteene it was undesirable.
