DSP recommits to building the Socialist Alliance

Sue Bolton, Melbourne

After a vigorous debate, delegates to the Democratic Socialist
Perspective’s 22nd Congress on January 5-8 reaffirmed the DSP's
commitment to building the Socialist Alliance as a new party project.

This followed an extensive pre-congress discussion centred on a draft
resolution “The Democratic Socialist Perspective and the Socialist
Alliance”. The draft resolution (see
<http://www.dsp.org.au/2006resolution.htm>) was adopted with a minor
amendment.

A proposal that the DSP return to calling itself the “Democratic
Socialist Party”, and declare it as “the only party we are building
today”, was rejected by three-quarters of the congress delegates. Given
the DSP’s greater engagement in the working-class struggle, differences
on perspectives are to be expected and, indeed, are a sign of a healthy
organisation.
