Polish Socialist Party - Left

Polish Socialist Party - Left

Polish Socialist Party - Left also known as "Young Faction" (Polish:"Polska Partia Socjalistyczna - Lewica", "- Młodzi", or "PPS-L") was one of two factions into which Polish Socialist Party divided itself in 1906. Its primary goal was transform Poland into a socialist country, established through proletarian revolution, and likely a member of some international communist country.

Its opposition was the Polish Socialist Party - Revolution Faction (also known as Old Faction - "Starzy") which wanted to restore independent Poland, which was envisioned as a representative democracy.

PPS-L for a time gathered most of the former PPS members, but with the failure of the Russian Revolution of 1905 and corresponding revolution in the Kingdom of Poland (1905-1907), it has lost popularity. In 1909 PPS-FR renamed itself back to "Polska Partia Socjalistyczna" (Polish Socialist Party); the increasingly marginal PPS-L - opposing the First World War and supporting the Russian revolution of 1917 - eventually merged with Social Democracy of the Kingdom of Poland and Lithuania in 1918 to form the Communist Party of Poland.

Activists of PPS-L: Maria Koszutska, Stefan Królikowski, Paweł Lewinson, Henryk Walecki.
