	Socialist Left - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Socialist Left faction of the Australian Labor Party (the Left) is an organised political faction that advocates within the party for traditionally Labor interventionist and socialist economic policies.
		The NSW 'Steering Committee', later to take on the name 'Socialist Left' was initially formed in 1955 in response to the anti-communist campaigns by the 'Groupers' led by B.A. Santamaria.
		Federally, the Left is split internally between the "hard" left who promote a more confrontational and aggressive stance towards the dominant Labor Right, faction and the "soft" left who are more prepared to be more conciliatory and work with certain members of the Right.

	Left Socialist Party (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-12)
		VS is a child of the "new left" in Europe, born during the student uprisings in 1968.
		Left wing opposition was so strongly clasped, that it was incapable of mobilizing a major pressure on the socialdemocrats, and when the traditional means of the left were neutralized, it was sent to hell.
		Though the left wing hadn’t prepared itself for the construction of a new party, the reaction upon the defeat was very clear.

	Robert Wolfe - Reviving the Jewish Left
		The 1970s and the 1980s, which were the heyday of left wing anti-Zionism, ended in the collapse of the Soviet Union, the overthrow of communism in Eastern Europe, the privatization of socialist institutions throughout the world and the emergence of a "New World Order" dominated by the advanced capitalist countries.
		And as the Jewish left declined, it abandoned its historic commitment to the ideal of socialism and became enamored of the same "politically correct" ideas as characterized the larger left movement.
		The modern socialist movement was in large part the creation of individuals from Jewish backgrounds who saw in socialism the secular equivalent of the traditional Jewish belief in the coming of the Messiah.

	December 2001: Left Makes Gains in Argentine Elections
		The left began to channel the dissatisfaction of the workers, the unemployed, the students, and the impoverished sections of the middle class.
		The United Left (IU), which is an alliance between the Communist Party and the Trotskyist Socialist Workers Movement (MST), also made gains, as did the PO and the MAS, two other Trotskyist currents, and the Humanist Party, which got more than 300,000 votes.
		What's more the biggest left vote went to Zamora's Autonomy and Freedom, which expresses somewhat "anti-party" positions, not only against the parties of the right, but against the forms of organization and engaging in politics adopted by the radical, Marxist left.

	Heralding change
		The Socialist Party should be particularly happy with the results, as it has managed to gain a simple majority on its own in the national Parliament for the first time since the overthrow of the right-wing Antonio Salazar dictatorship in 1974.
		Another grouping, calling itself the Left Bloc, won around 6.4 per cent of the vote; it more than doubled its tally in comparison to the general elections of 2002 and became the biggest gainer in the elections.
		The leaders of the Portuguese Socialist Party, like their social democratic counterparts in the rest of Europe, are avid proponents of privatisation and globalisation.

	The Left Needs More Socialism
		The socialist standards of fairness, democracy, equality and justice are as much a part of daily life as are capitalism's values of privilege, unequal rewards and power.
		There can be no future social movements without key socialist themes: the importance of economic class, the centrality of labor and workers in shaping the world, the idea that people must act to create their own destiny.
		Socialists have conceived a society that provides for the needs of every individual, including adequate means to live a decent life and develop each person's capacities.

	Regroupment and the socialist left today (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-12)
		The causes are the collapse of Stalinism and the development of the anti-capitalist movement; the challenge is the new era of imperialist war.
		Lionel Jospin in France carefully cultivated a socialist rhetoric dramatically at variance with his neo-liberal policies: arguably, it was his decision to abandon this hypocrisy and move more openly onto the centre ground of bourgeois politics that doomed him to humiliation in the first round of the presidential elections last April.
		The SWP has, by contrast, demonstrated its commitment to the Socialist Alliance as part of its pursuit of a broader process of revolutionary regroupment whose aim is to break wider layers of the working class from reformism.

	PhpWiki - Socialist Progressive Left (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-12)
		"The socialist revolution is not one single act, not one single battle on a single front; but a whole epoch of intensified class conflicts, a long series of battles on all fronts, i.e., battles around all the problems of economics and politics, which can culminate only in the expropriation of the bourgeoisie.
		In a humane, socialist society, everyone would have jobs and be paid a decent wage.
		The Wall Street Journal (not the paragon of socialist journalism and representing the capitalist classes) admits that "the 1990s economy looks much worse than the 1970s." According to the WSJ, "the average wage for a full time worker without a college education is now 8 per cent less than it ws in 72."

	[Marxism] Nader, american socialist left, etc (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-12)
		In addition, I am somewhat biased in that the organisation I belong to (the Irish Socialist Party) is a sister organisation of one of those groups which actually is backing Nader (Socialist Alternative).
		Now I know that Socialist Alternative is of the opinion that what is needed in America is a workers party, a point of view obviously influenced by Trotsky's argument for a US labor party.
		Others may differ on that but I would be genuinely interested in hearing an argument from a member of one of the socialist groups running a candidate in these elections as to what exactly they hope to realistically achieve through their actions.

	AGR Online/ World News
		The Socialist Alliance is an unprecedented step forward for the Australian socialist left — and enthusiasm for it is total.
		The Socialist Alliance provides a chance to do more than take advantage of immediate opportunities, though, its participants say: it’s also a chance for the left to find some much-needed common ground and common purpose.
		The upshot of the Socialist Alliance’s formation is hard to underestimate: the days of a weak, divided, ghettoised left appear to be ending, amid a rise of massive, new protest movements and a new sense that revolutionary socialists can unite to popularize their message and again become an important force in Australian politics.

		The Left S.R.s have committed political suicide by striking against revolutionary Realpolitik, just as the Mensheviks and Right S.R.s committed suicide last summer, by clinging to their coalition with the middle-classes long after the necessity for such a coalition had disappeared.

	Saul Berg: The Role of Centrism in France - II (March 1947)
		The Socialists, on the other hand, loose and undisciplined to begin with, were split down the middle, since a big section of the leadership, led by Spinasse, supported the Petain Vichy regime.
		Supplementing this demand for Socialist independence in the Assembly is the demand for extension of the powers of factory councils, so that they will share in production management, inspection of company accounts by workers, and finally, opposition to the wage freeze and a demand for the application of the sliding scale of wages and prices.
		True, it is not accompanied in the case of these left Socialists by resolutions demonstrating a revolutionary internationalist position on war and foreign policy, or by recognition of the need and role of a revolutionary party and International.

	Where We Stand: No to New Reformist Parties!
		In an effort to fill the political vacuum left by the collapse of Stalinism a decade ago and the parallel shift to the right by the social democratic and labor parties, left organizations that previously spoke of building Bolshevik-Leninist vanguards are now forming reformist parties and blocs committed to social-democratic programs.
		The Stalinist collapse accelerated the decay of whatever was left of the residual loyalty the Communist parties had still commanded among their former followers in the working class in some countries.
		That is because the Socialist Alliances are not genuine united fronts, which are agreements for common action, but propaganda blocs among people who have held different programs, in which alleged revolutionaries subordinate their programs to those of their reformist partners.

	LINKS 23: Editor's introduction (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-12)
		In Australia in 2002, the Socialist Alliance, grouping nearly all the far-left organisations, was able to overcome difficult electoral registration requirements in several states and attract as new members a significant number of activists who were not members of any of the component groups.
		In September, the Democratic Socialist Party (DSP), the largest member organisation of the Alliance, proposed to spur the process of left regroupment by becoming an internal tendency within the Alliance and carrying out all its public political activity through the Socialist Alliance.
		Peter Boyle's "Steps toward greater left unity in Australia" presents the background and rationale of the DSP proposal and the response to it within the Socialist Alliance and the Australian left more generally.

	S/R 25: "Red Ken" and the Greens in London (Part 2) (Hawkins)
		The combined "revolutionary left" vote was 5.2% in the party list vote, showing the insanity of all the splits over minor doctrinal differences and turf and power squabbles.
		The London Socialist Alliance did twice as well in the district votes (3.1%) than the party list vote (1.6%), underscoring the stupidity of the splits, on the one hand, and also suggesting that many of these voters went Green in the party list vote because the Greens had a much better chance to gain seats.
		While the socialist left organizations were forming their usual circular firing squad, their real competition for the allegiance of radicals, especially youth, comes from the anarchist left that is growing in direct action campaigns spearheaded by Earth First!

Fund for Population Activities.
		In their work, the old Socialist Left, with its dreams of state-sanctioned social engineering, and the new Lifestyle Left, committed to radical individual autonomy as the essence of liberty, have joined in common cause.
		Unable to actualize their agenda in national legislatures, where real politicians make real decisions, they have now turned to the U.N. system for forwarding the brave new world they are determined to create.
