  Socialist Party of Great Britain - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
It should not be confused with the Socialist Party of England and Wales, the relatively new name of the Trotskyist former Militant Tendency.
The SPGB believes that the only way socialism (its term for a society without property, money, classes, or the state - what is more commonly called communism by most Marxists) will come about is for a majority of people, on a worldwide basis, to come to believe in the superiority of this social system.
The party is one of the oldest political parties in the UK, founded in 1904 as a split from the Social Democratic Federation.

 Socialist Party of Great Britain (Reconstituted) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Socialist Party of Great Britain (Reconstituted), also known as the SPGBR, is a tiny Marxist party founded in 1991 after its members were expelled from the Socialist Party of Great Britain for refusing to adopt certain party-wide resolutions.
The SPGBR claims it is the "true" SPGB, and uses the "Reconstituted" moniker only when it is necessary to disambiguate itself from its larger parent group, which it usually refers to as the "Clapham-Based Socialist Party" or the "Socialist Party of Clapham".
The Party claims the original SPGB has deviated from the strict anti-reformism principles it established in 1904, and has from time to time made accusations of infiltration by anarchists and other non-socialist interests.

 Socialist Standard - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Socialist Standard is a monthly socialist newspaper published without interruption since 1904 by the Socialist Party of Great Britain.
The newspaper is written in a simple, direct style and focuses mainly on socialist advocacy and Marxian analysis of current events, particularly those affecting the United Kingdom.
The SPGB and the World Socialist Movement (with which the SPGB is associated) contrary to the views and aspirations of this myriad groups and organisations that would claim to be left-wing, affirms that capitalism is incapable of meaningful reform;that quintessentially the basis of the exploitation of the working class is the wages/money system.

 George Walford and The Socialist Party of Great Britain - IC vs SP   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07)
If you think of the Socialist Party as working to establish socialism then their behaviour is absurd and their case does not make sense, but once you see that the purpose of their behaviour, and the function of their case, is to demonstrate intellectual superiority by winning arguments, then everything falls into place.
The depth of the Socialist Party's commitment to argument is indicated by their belief, expressed in the Reply, that commercial competition is conducted by this means; every successful salesman knows better, he understands that to win an argument is to lose an order.
The terms proposed to the Socialist Party for this debate included their sending a concluding statement; on 25 February 1985 (some three months after the Answer had been sent them) this had not arrived and a reminder was sent.

 Socialist Party of Great Britain - Object and Declaration of Principles
The basis of the case for the Socialsit Party of Great Britain is the OBJECT AND DECLARATION OF PRINCIPLES: applicants for membership are required to indicate their acceptance of them.
When its wording was being discussed at the establishment of the SPGB in 1904, consideration was given to the possible inclusion of additional clauses but the form finally accepted was held to be sufficient.
That as all political parties are but the expression of class interests, and as the interest of the working class is diametrically opposed to the interests of all sections of the master class, the party seeking working class emancipation must be hostile to every other party.

 Canada Election 2004 Voter Guide: Political Parties - Socialist Party of Canada
The Socialist Party of Canada favours rule by the vote of the majority (i.e., "majority rule"), effectively saying that a system with a leader is incompatible with majority rule.
The Socialist Party is a companion party of the World Socialist Movement ("WSM"), which began with the founding of the Socialist Party of Great Britain in 1904.
It is strongly opposed to working with any other political parties, viewing virtually no other party as a socialist party: the WSM takes the position that history has shown other parties never to replace capitalism with socialism (as the WSM defines that term).

The Party claims to be able to meet all criticisms of its case, and it has declared its willingness to debate with individuals, but it has not eagerly accepted my invitation.
I cannot force the Socialist Party either to meet my criticism in public or to admit, publicly, that they are unable to meet it.
What the Socialist Party is responsible for is what it calls the logic of its case, and that is a long way from being sound.

 Scottish SP & Green parties
Both parties have been refused registration and as things stand, the SSP would not be allowed to contest elections on the grounds that this would be confusing for voters as there is already a Socialist Party of Great Britain.
It is, therefore, unreasonable to refuse registration to the Scottish Socialist Party and the Scottish Green Party.
The Scottish Socialist Party and the Scottish Green Party are the largest "small" parties in Scotland outside the 4 main parties.

From 1963 to 1974 he was a very active member of the Socialist Party of Great Britain in London, Manchester and Sheffield where he initially worked as a dentist.
But he remained a Socialist, trying to bridge the gap between views such as the SPGB's and those of the anarcho-communists and other anti-parliamentarists, a doomed project since neither side was prepared to change their views, respectively for and against using elections and parliament.

In the 1960s the SPGB no more sided with the Greens than did Marx with Malthus in the nineteenth century.
However, the Greens, like the SPGB, have a quasi-religious outlook that disapproves of human beings as they are.
Anyway, it is ahead of the Green propositions based on bigotry and ignorance that the reviewer is inclined to favour, owing mainly to his own ill-thought-out Marxist dogma.
