		Fortunately Socialist Caucus comrades were able to organise the floor to quickly move through the other resolutions in order for it to be heard - it was the last to be taken at the conference.
		Socialist Caucus had a well-attended fringe meeting in the lunchtime prior to the conference debate, where a campaign to oppose extended opening hours was launched.

	Socialist Action/Canada
		Since 1998, the Socialist Caucus of the New Democratic Party (the mass labour-based political party in English Canada) has campaigned for a Workers’ Agenda, for socialist solutions to the problems faced by humanity.
		There was no mention of socialist solutions, let alone any reference to socialism as an alternative to capitalist exploitation and to its destruction of humanity and the environment.
		Socialists need to better organize ourselves, not just for convention debates, but inside the social movements and in the streets, to convince working people of our answers, and to win them to our banner.

	Civil service union PCS conference: On the public sector front line \| The Socialist 16 - 22 June 2005
		The anti-group group, The Socialist Caucus, completely failed to judge the mood of the conference and ploughed on regardless with their own agenda, getting trounced in the process.
		Socialist Caucus delegates attempted to condemn the leadership for doing this, saying that it wasn't only pensions that were the issue but also jobs and pay.
		Socialist Party members Roger Thomas and John McInally and myself from the NEC, all spoke condemning the invasion and continuing occupation of Iraq, highlighting the atrocities being carried out by US and British forces but not giving unequivocal support to all elements of the "resistance" inside Iraq.

	Socialist Party USA - Celebrating Over 100 Years As America's Voice For Democratic Socialism (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-31)
		The Debs Caucus had a valid claim to recognition as a voice of Socialism, for it included the former National Chairman, Darlington Hoopes, the Socialist ex-Mayor of Milwaukee, Frank Zeidler, and many of the state and local SP organizations, including Wisconsin, Illinois, California, and locals in Philadelphia, Washington DC, and New York City.
		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 tightly disciplined Unity Caucus, as the Shachtmanite wing now styled themselves, were by now suspicious of Harrington, and succeeded in pushing through the Convention a constitutional amendment providing for a "troika" in the Chairmanship.

		Of the 32, Socialist Caucus, which is supported by much of the non-SP left, including myself, increased its representation from three to five, while the Socialist Workers Party went from one to two.
		Socialist Caucus member Claudia Campbell moved a motion on behalf of the North East London branch that called for future pay claims to have the European decency threshold of £16,780 as the minimum wage in the department and that the executive should recommend rejection of any pay offer that does not meet this demand.
		The motion was unfortunately heavily defeated after the intervention of both the Socialist Party (Rob Williams) and the SWP (Martin John), who both argued against the motion, as they felt it was not an achievable demand.

		Socialist Action is in political solidarity with the Fourth International, the global Trotskyist movement active on every continent and for over 65 years in the forefront of workers' struggles against imperialism and Stalinism.
		Socialist Action is based on the democratic principle of full membership debate on programme and strategy, followed by unity in action.
		NDP socialists argue that the illusion of a possible 'independent' capitalist foreign policy for Canada, and a 'peace-keeping' role that never existed, serve only as cover for imperialist rule by more liberal means.

	The founding and evolution of the New Democratic Party
		As I said, we were working with the Woodsworth-Irvine Fellowship, with the New Left Caucus in Montreal, and, particularly with the proscription of the LSA, through and with the elements that came around the Socialist Caucus, including such a person as Bert Herridge.
		Bert Herridge identified himself with the Socialist Caucus - a longstanding member of parliament from B.C., a man with an extensive record, a rather contradictory one - but some persons started to question (whether) there was any possibility of gains by being part of this whole process and this movement.
		It came out of the Socialist Caucus - it was called on the floor, and people were appealed to go, and (Bert) Herridge led the demonstration, and a very big proportion of the assembly delegates at the Ontario NDP convention joined this action.

		The call for the formation of the caucus signed by more than 40 delegates with a good cross-country representation, outlined the need for socialist policies, noted the party leadership's failure to pose such policies, and argued that socialists in the party must organize to fight for them.
		One of their major interventions in the caucus was to attempt to impose their view that nationalization without compensation was a principle and the dividing line between reformists and socialists.
		In every instance, revolutionary socialists would encourage and further the independent mobilization of the working class, to undermine its confidence in the government, while at the same time helping the workers learn in the course of their experiences that they must rely only on their own mobilized strength.

	United States presidential election, 2008 - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Candidates of the Constitution, Democratic, Green, Libertarian, Reform, Republican, Socialist and other parties began making their plans known as early as 2004; candidates will emerge during 2006 and 2007 because of the long lead time for fund-raising.
		Federal election laws require the reporting of funds raised for the primary elections, and in the past the media has anointed "front-runners" on the basis of reported fund-raising totals.
		The process continues through June, but in previous cycles, including 2004, the Democratic and Republican candidates were effectively chosen by the March primaries, because the leading candidates had collected enough committed delegates to win in the national convention.

	Frontline 6 - The Canadian Left
		For the past few years, the only organised left in the party has been the Socialist Caucus (www.ndpsocialists.ca) under the leadership of Socialist Action, who are "supporters of the Fourth International", as they say, but the Socialist Caucus has remained relatively isolated and ineffective, mainly as a result of its primarily propagandistic mode of functioning.
		However, the Socialist Caucus appeared to have difficulty adjusting to the new situation in the NDP with the rise of the NPI and the opportunity this represented to engage the membership in discussion on a broader level.
		But Socialist Caucus leaders acted on the convention floor in a manner that increased this frustration and made it easy for the leadership of the NDP to isolate them.

	The recolonisation of Africa and the future of the left, an anarchist analysis
		A genuinely socialist and free society can only be created by the working class and working peasants acting on their own initiative to smash the chains of oppression.
		The domination of the socialist left by Marxism over the last seventy years has resulted in the proud and principled ideas and achievements of this tradition to be less well known than they need to be.
		The libertarian socialists (anarcho-syndicalists) were amongst its foremost supporters and were the only group to support the dissolving of the constituent assembly on the grounds that the soviets were a more democratic form of government.

	PCS Left Unity conference backs union leadership on pensions \| The Socialist 8 - 14 December 2005
		It was the PCS and its socialist leadership that forced the pace of unity across the public sector unions.
		The discussion at the LU conference revolved around those who thought that the leadership of the union, including Mark Serwotka, were right to accept the framework agreement and those who thought they were wrong and that the union should therefore tell the government that they are pulling out of the agreement.
		The so-called "Socialist Caucus" (an amalgam of ultra-left groups) in their resolution called the deal a "sell-out".

		What the DSA admits, but the Progressive Caucus has not outwardly disclosed yet, is that their socialist goals include the downfall of our Constitutional form of government and much stronger government controls on the American people.
		socialists cover most major House committees and many of them are "ranking members" -- which means they would become the committee's chairman if their party wins a majority in the House.
		Which means that, if by some chance Democrats win the House next month, Nancy Pelosi becomes the first outwardly socialist Speaker of the House (and third in line for President of the United States) and her Progressive Caucus (socialist) members are in place to chair many of the important House committees.

	May 2001: Thousands Protest FTAA in Quebec City
		While we are inundated with the capitalist media's reports of "booming economies," "increased trade," and even "the new prosperity," the living standard of the average working-class person in North America continues to fall.
		Notable in the protests was the attendance of the federal parliamentary caucus of the New Democratic Party (NDP, Canada's mass labor-based political party).
		In the face of an incredible contradiction-plummeting support during an international working-class radicalization-the NDP leadership has been forced into at least claiming to "renew" itself as an activist party out of fears of being outflanked to the left (or simply out of fears of losing their cushy jobs on Parliament Hill).

		A youth wing, the Young Socialists, was established in 1964; its branch in Quebec was known as the Ligue des Jeunes Socialistes.
		Following a positive response from the New Democratic Party Socialist Caucus during 1967-1968, a section of the League emerged as the "Waffle" Caucus of the N.D.P. in 1969.

	The Socialist Ring (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-31)
		In the representation below, red symbolizes the blood spilt by workers the world over in the fight for their emancipation and was directly inherited from the red banner flown at the Paris Commune, the original and hitherto base symbol of the workers' cause.
		After the 1886 Haymarket Massacre, socialists and trade unionists began wearing red roses or carnations on their lapels to show solidarity with the eight labour leaders who had been convicted of inciting to riot.
		In designing the ring, I've chosen to use the left fist (the 'Socialist International' uses the right) to differentiate and claim it for those who hold a more radical, anti-capitalist, and therefore, revolutionary view of socialism.

		Socialist Party leader Oleksandr Moroz may have been the biggest winner in Ukraine's Orange Revolution.
		But after throwing his support in the second round to eventual winner Viktor Yushchenko, Moroz's Socialist Party ended up with three ministers in the government the chairmanship of the State Property Fund and several regional governorships.
		And if his Socialist Party clears the 3 percent barrier to win seats in the new parliament, a likely outcome according to current opinion polls, Moroz may end up playing an equally important role following the March 26 parliamentary elections.
