Left Socialists
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Left Socialists (Danish: Venstresocialisterne), a political party in Denmark.
It was formed in 1967 as a split from SF. In 1989 the Left Socialists founded the Red-Green Alliance together with the Communist Party of Denmark and Socialist Workers Party to contest in elections. At its last congress in 1998 the Left Socialists transformed itself from a party to an association.
VS was represented by the letter "Y" on the electoral ballots. VS works on what it calls a 'undogmatic revolutionary and marxist basis'.
Today VS concentrates most of its work towards building of the Red-Green Alliance. It publishes Solidaritet (Solidarity) and maintains a website, but except for that it has little activity of its own.
From 1984 to 1992 VS had a youth wing, Venstresocialisternes Ungdom.
