Socialist Party (Argentina) (Paperback)

High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles The Socialist Party (Partido Socialista) is a social-democratic political party in Argentina.The history of socialism in Argentina began in the 1890s, when a group of people, notably Juan B. Justo, who were involved in a liberal party, the Radical Civic Union, expressed the need for a greater social focus.The Socialist Party itself was founded in 1896, led by Justo and Nicolas Repetto. The party affiliated itself with the Second International.Between 1924 and 1940 it was a member of the Labour and Socialist International.Through its life, the party suffered from various splits (the International Socialist Party, which became the Communist Party of Argentina) and the Independent Socialist Party were the most notable). The most important of those was in the 1960s, when the party divided itself in half, giving birth to the more radical Argentine Socialist Party (Partido Socialista Argentino), and the more moderate Democratic Socialist Party (Partido Socialista Democratico).
