Left Socialists
Left Socialists ( da, Venstresocialisterne) was a political party in Denmark. The party worked on what it called an "undogmatic revolutionary and Marxist basis". It was formed in 1967 as a split from the Socialist People's Party (SF). In 1989 the Left Socialists founded the Red-Green Alliance with the Communist Party of Denmark and Socialist Workers Party to contest in elections.

It continued to publish ''Solidaritet'' (Solidarity) and maintained a website, but except for that it had little activity of its own. ''Solidarity'' later became an independent publisher. On 8 September 2013, the Left Socialists disbanded, explaining they did not want to be a "party within the party".
