Website of the Socialist Party: www.socialistparty.net

The Socialist Party is a campaigning party of workers, young people and the unemployed, fighting for a socialist alternative. 

The Socialist Party has a proven track record of campaigning and fighting for the rights of working class people. We have played a leading role in the campaigns against water charges, the bin tax, the Iraq war, health cuts, exploitation etc. Our public representatives Joe Higgins and Councillor Clare Daly spent a month in Mountjoy Prison because of their leadership of the campaign against bin charges.

We have supported and assisted countless workers struggles and strikes over the last forty years. Our members organise throughout the trade union movement to campaign for democratic. fighting trade unions who put the interests of working class people first.

For a new working class party

All of the major political parties including Labour support the capitalist market system. The Socialist Party believes that the working class need a new political force capable of providing a real alternative to the establishment parties and we support the building of a new mass working class party which is committed to struggling for socialism.

A party for young people

The Socialist Party and our youth section Socialist Youth have campaigned against the wars in Iraq, Afghanistan, Lebanon, Gaza, the West Bank and the Sri Lankan government’s war against the Tamils. We have also organised against racism through our Youth Against Racism in Europe campaign, and have organised and successfully stopped the fascist historian David Irving from speaking in universities around the country.

Socialist Youth members were involved in the establishment of Free Education for Everyone which is campaigning against the re-introduction of third level fees.

International socialism

The Socialist Party fights against the anarchy and injustice of the Capitalist market and for a socialist world. (For more info see: “What is Socialism?”)

We believe it is necessary to build an international of socialist parties committed to the overthrow of capitalism and for the building of a socialist world which is why the Socialist Party is affiliated to the Committee for a Workers’ International (CWI) which brings together socialists in over 40 countries
