Socialist Party of Great Britain
Socialist political party in the United Kingdom / From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Not to be confused with the British Socialist Party (became the Communist Party of Great Britain) or the Socialist Party (formerly Militant).
The Socialist Party of Great Britain (SPGB) is a socialist political party in the United Kingdom. Founded in 1904[3] as a split from the Social Democratic Federation (SDF), it advocates using the ballot box for revolutionary purposes and opposes both Leninism and reformism. It holds that countries which claimed to have established socialism had only established "state capitalism" and was one of the first to describe the Soviet Union as state capitalist. The party's political position has been described as a form of impossibilism.
