Association For Solidarity Perspectives (Germany)
The Association for Solidarity Perspectives (german: Verein für solidarische Perspektiven, VsP) is a far-left political organization in Germany. The VsP was formed in October 1986 in West Germany as the United Socialist Party ('Vereinigte Sozialistische Partei', VSP), a perhaps 600-strong merger of the Trotskyite International Marxist Group (GIM) and the anti-revisionist Communist Party of Germany/Marxists–Leninists. The parties combined their newspapers, ''was tun'' (What to do) and ''Roter Morgen'' (Red Dawn) respectively, to launch the ' (Socialist Newspaper, SoZ).
