About

The Socialist Workers’ Party was originally founded in 1971 as the Socialist Workers Movement by supporters of the International Socialists of Britain (now the SWP). It was established as the Socialist Workers’ Party in 1995.

The SWP was the largest element of the Socialist Environmental Alliance, which was active in Northern Ireland in the 2000s. It also established the People Before Profit Alliance in 2005 and constitutes the major part of that organisation.

In 2018 it was renamed the Socialist Workers’ Network, with People Before Profit, of which it remains a component, becoming the principle focus of members.

Other names, groups or sections

  • Socialist Workers' Movement

    The Socialist Workers Movement was founded in Ireland in 1971 by supporters of the UK International Socialists living in Northern Ireland who had previously been members of People’s Democracy, the Waterford Socialist Movement and the Young Socialists.

    It acted as a tendency within the Socialist Labour Party for the period of the SLP’s existence, becoming a separate organisation again after the latter’s dissolution. It later became the Socialist Workers Party.
