International Socialists (Denmark)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The International Socialists (Danish: Internationale Socialister) is a Trotskyist organisation in Denmark.
IS was set up in 1984 as split from the Left Socialists. It is part of the International Socialist Tendency led the by the British Socialist Workers Party. The International Socialists is mainly involved in activities aiming at organising students. When ATTAC was founded in Denmark, IS was approaching the organisation. Later on IS-members pulled out of ATTAC claiming that the organisation had no substance in itself. As an organisation closely connected to the British Socialist Workers Party IS has a similar, if not identical approach on the Iraq-issue. I.e giving the various resistance movements of Iraq unconditional but tactical support. The Danish media has attracted attention on IS because of this issue.
At its congress in March 2006 IS decided to collectively join the broader Red-Green Alliance. IS will however maintain its own organisation and keep publishing its monthly Socialistisk Arbejderavis.
