The Socialist Party (Swedish : Socialistiska Partiet), now called Socialist Politics (Swedish : Socialistiska Politik) is a Swedish Trotskyist organization and former political party. It the Swedish section of the Fourth International. [1]
The party was formed at a congress in 1971, through the merger of the Revolutionary Marxists (RM) and the Bolshevik Group (BG). Initially it was called League of Revolutionary Marxists (Swedish : Revolutionära Marxisters Förbund, RMF). One section of RM did not agree with the formation of RM and formed the Communist Working Groups (Swedish : Kommunistiska Arbetsgrupperna, KAG). KAG would later reconcile with RMF. It dissolved in 1972 and former members joined either RMF or the Left Party – the Communists. [2]
At the fifth party congress, held in 1975, the name was changed to Communist Workers League (Kommunistiska Arbetarförbundet). In 1982, the party adopted its current name.
In the early 1990s, the party suffered a small split that went on to form the Swedish section of the Pathfinder tendency. In 1994, a smaller group left the SP to form a Swedish section of what is now the League for the Fifth International, Workers' Power.
The party publishes the weekly paper Internationalen . It is currently not represented in local office.
As of 2019, the party has been reorganized from a political party into an ideological organization, and calls for its members to vote for the Left Party.
During the 2023 Brazilian Congress attack the organization expressed solidarity with President of Brazil Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva. [3]

The Socialist Party, was a political party in Sweden active from 1929 to 1948. Led by Karl Kilbom and Nils Flyg, the party was founded in 1929 as a splinter group of the Communist Party of Sweden. Until 1934, the splinter group used the same name Communist Party of Sweden, so in order to keep the two factions apart, this faction was generally known as Kilbommare ("Kilbomiars") while those who stayed in the old party were known as Sillénare.
Communist League was a small political communist party in Sweden, connected to the Socialist Workers Party of the United States, and distributor of the Militant and part of the Pathfinder organization.
Communist Working Groups was a political organization in Sweden. KAG was formed in January 1971, at the time of the merger of the Bolshevik Group and the Revolutionary Marxists (RM) into the League of Revolutionary Marxists (RMF). The founders of KAG wanted a less well-knit group than RMF. KAG was based in Stockholm and Gothenburg. In Göteborg the majority of RM, led by Göte Kildén, had joined KAG.
Socialism in Brazil is generally thought to trace back to the first half of the 19th century. There are documents evidencing the diffusion of socialist ideas since then, but these were individual initiatives with no ability to form groups with actual political activism.

The Revolutionary Communist International (RCI) is a Trotskyist political international. It was founded as the Committee for a Marxist International by British-based South African political theorist Ted Grant and his supporters after they broke with the Committee for a Workers' International in 1992, and was subsequently renamed the International Marxist Tendency (IMT) in 2004 before adopting its current name in June 2024.
