I am here for Friends

About Me

I am the weekly paper of the Socialist Party.'the Socialist' reports on national and international issues of interest to all those fighting back against capitalism. At the same time we fight for a new world - a socialist world.In the past I have been known as 'Socialist Fight', but more famously as the 'the Militant' which was the paper of the Militant Tendency in the British Labour movement.IMPORTANT POINT At present, friend requests are accepted from all non-private profiles that are not pornographic or far-right. Having a profile as a 'friend' therefore represents no endorsement or otherwise by the Socialist Party or the Committee for a Workers International

My Interests

I'd like to meet:

All workers and young people fighting back against capitalism and imperialism!!
