richardemephamHere we are again. Socialist Party of Great Britain literature stall Cardiff queen street. Comrades RB and RC on the ones and twos. Lots more people stopping for a chat and a leaflet today so my theory about election fatigue don’t hold water. Hot one this afternoon so cream up lovely people. #spgb #socialism #socialist
Back on the Socialist Party of Great Britain literature stall Queen Street Cardiff again today. Comrade RB on the wheels of steel. Not many people interested in embracing class consciousness today. Got a couple of smiles and someone asking directions for the train station. Marx would be disappointed Cardiff. #socialism #socialist #spgb
#OnThisDay in 1949, the Socialist Party of Ireland was founded:
On May 28th, 1949, a number of workers, representing Socialist Groups in Dublin and Belfast, met in Belfast and decided that the Groups should coalesce and form the Socialist Party of Ireland. That decision was subsequently ratified by the members of the Dublin and Belfast Groups; and so was born the first political party in Ireland to publicly and unequivocally declare its object to be the establishment of Socialism.
This Socialist Party of Ireland was associated with the SPGB and later became the World Socialist Party.

Document Collection: The British Left on Ireland
Since the Irish Left Archive began it has included documents from the British left on Ireland, and these have accumulated over the years to cover a wide range of groups. This collection shows some of the positions taken by the British left over the course of the last several decades.
The next Socialist Party of Ireland was formed in Belfast and Dublin on 28th May 1949. It was associated with the Socialist Party of Great Britain (SPGB) and the World Socialist Movement, a Classical Marxist left movement. (Sometimes associated with impossibilism, though the SPGB reject the term).
The 1949 SPI later became the World Socialist Party.
Here's their manifesto: https://www.leftarchive.ie/document/419/
