Left Socialists (Danish: Venstresocialisterne) was a political party in Denmark. VS works on what it calls a 'undogmatic revolutionary and Marxist basis'.
It was formed in 1967 as a split from the Socialist People's Party (SF).[1] VS was represented by the letter "Y" on the electoral ballots. VS members of parliament were respected and are well remembered for their principled positions and their striking personalities.[citation needed] The VS is most remembered for its part in the anti-nuclear movement that led to the Danish government banning nuclear energy and for its ambitious energy proposals.[citation needed] From 1984 to 1992 VS had a youth wing, Venstresocialisternes Ungdom.
In 1989 the Left Socialists founded the Red-Green Alliance with the Communist Party of Denmark and Socialist Workers Party to contest in elections. At its last congress in 1998 the Left Socialists transformed itself from a party to an association. Since then, VS concentrates most of its work towards building of the Red-Green Alliance. It still publishes Solidaritet (Solidarity) and maintains a website, but except for that it has little activity of its own.
