Socialist League (Canada)
{{Unreferenced, date=December 2009 The Socialist League (or Forward Group) was a Canadian Trotskyist group formed in 1974 by Ross Dowson and approximately twenty other former members of the League for Socialist Action after their faction was defeated at the 1973 LSA national convention. Dowson had previously been the leader of the LSA. The group published a newspaper, ''Forward'' and soon became better known as the "Forward Readers Group" or the "Forward Group". Dowson and his followers differed with the rest of the Trotskyist movement in Canada through their adoption of a Canadian economic nationalist perspective, influenced by the views of the Waffle, a Marxist tendency within the New Democratic Party (NDP) within which the LSA was active. They argued that Canada was an economic colony of the United States and thus an oppressed nation where other Marxists viewed Canada as a fully capitalist nation, if only a "junior partner" participating in the oppression of the developing world ...

Socialist League (Germany)
The Socialist League (german: Sozialistischer Bund) was initiated as a political movement by Gustav Landauer in May 1908 and aimed at "uniting all humans who are serious about realizing socialism." Its original strategy was to achieve socialism through the formation of worker cooperatives and intentional communities. Martin Buber, Erich Mühsam, and Margarethe Faas-Hardegger were early members of Landauer's group, which eventually grew to include about 800 members. During the fall of the Bavarian Soviet Republic in the spring of 1919, Landauer was killed, and the movement was thrown into disarray. It reappeared later as a splinter group of the Independent Social Democratic Party of Germany led by Georg Ledebour. The party got 26,418 votes in the May 1924 Reichstag election. In the 1928 elections, the party called on its sympathizers to vote for the Communist Party of Germany.Labour and Socialist International.

Socialist League (UK, 1885)
The Socialist League was an early revolutionary socialist organisation in the United Kingdom. The organisation began as a dissident offshoot of the Social Democratic Federation of Henry Hyndman at the end of 1884. Never an ideologically harmonious group, by the 1890s the group had turned from socialism to anarchism, and disbanded in 1901. Organizational history Origins Until March 1884, the members of the Democratic Federation, forerunner of the Social Democratic Federation (SDF), worked together in harmony. The new organisation had expected to make rapid headway with existing radical workingmen's organisations but few chose to join the SDF. Early enthusiasm gave way to disappointment and introspection. Personal relationships began to loom large among the small group's leading members. The personal vanity and domineering attitude of the organisation's founder, Henry Hyndman, along with his nationalism and fixation on parliamentary politics, were the leading causes of the inter ...
