This is a letter of solidarity sent to the SSP<\/acronym> from the Irish Socialist Network, first printed in the Scottish Socialist Voice<\/cite> (Issue 280, 29th Sept. 2006)<\/h2>\n

On behalf of the Irish Socialist Network, I wish to express our solidarity with the SSP<\/acronym> at this challenging time. In recent years, the SSP<\/acronym> has been a source of encouragement to radical socialists who are working to build new parties of the working class.<\/p>\n

Like many, we are dismayed by recent attacks, both personal and political, on SSP<\/acronym> members. We are glad to see that the SSP<\/acronym> has rebounded from recent setbacks, to continue challenging capitalism in Scotland by building a class struggle party fighting for an independent socialist Scotland.<\/p>\n

While closely following the development of the SSP<\/acronym>, we have never tried to slavishly follow a particular model, and we know the comrades in the SSP<\/acronym> respect the right of socialists in different countries to chart their own road towards liberation. True internationalism is based on an equal cooperation and respect between parties, not dictation from distant \u2018centres\u2019 or instructions from all-powerful leaders.<\/p>\n

As a participatory, democratic and revolutionary socialist organisation, we share with the SSP<\/acronym> an anti-war, anti-imperialist outlook firmly grounded in class politics and a commitment to working class unity.<\/p>\n

We salute your firm stand in favour of internal democracy, equality, and accountability. Our mutual commitment to principle is not the same as dogmatism and we know that all of us must learn new ways of organising, including a commitment to participatory educational processes and democratic structures.<\/p>\n

We look forward to working with comrades in the SSP<\/acronym>, and throughout the world, in building societies controlled from top to bottom by working people.<\/p>\n
