Description[?]:
The Revolutionary Socialist Party stands in the tradition of the Workers Power Party, a former mass party of the Valruzian working class. Like the old WPP, the RSP is a mult-tendency revolutionary party, committed to a strategy of “revolutionary patience” as a way to balance the building of a mass party that can organise in both parliament and the streets and pave the way for the conquest of political power by the working class. As such, the RSP will support bills geared towards the expansion of democracy and workers control in Valruzian society. Also, the RSP stands resolutely opposed to coalitions with bourgeois parties, and will only enter into governments with other revolutionary workers parties. --- Tendencies within the Revolutionary Socialist Party Democratic Socialist Convergence (DSC)- center, democratic socialist. Freedom and Revolution Caucus (FRC)- center, libertarian socialist. Libertarian Socialist Movement (LSM)- left, libertarian socialist. Revolutionary Unity Group (RUG)- left, revolutionary socialist.
