Socialist Alternative Movement
The Socialist Alternative Movement, formerly known as the Left Revolutionary Front is a Trotskyist organization in Portugal. It was the Portuguese section of the International [Workers' League (Fourth International)] until they split in 2017. It ran on a joint list with the Madeira-based Labour Party in the 2015 Portuguese [legislative election|2015 parliamentary elections].
The party was founded as the Left Revolutionary Front in 1983. This was dissolved in 2005 and merged with the student activist movement Ruptura to form Ruptura/FER.
The party says in its constitution that "the fight against capitalist exploitation and all forms of oppression of human beings by a socialist democratic regime, for workers' power, to ensure the transition to socialism and communism. We understand by socialism a society in which power is exercised democratically by the workers and Communism a society without classes and without the state. This implies the rejection of the "experiences" of capitalism management spearheaded by the social democrats or of totalitarian regimes dominated by a single Stalinist party".
The party was renamed to MAS and registered as a party in August 2013.
