The Party for Socialism and Liberation (PSL)

The Party for Socialism and Liberation (PSL) is an anti-capitalist socialist party in the United States that was established in 2004 when its members splintered from the Workers World Party. PSL advocates for socialism to replace capitalism and incorporates extreme anti-Zionism as a core part of its organizing platform. PSL has dozens of affiliated chapters nationwide and regularly collaborates with leading organizations in the U.S. anti-Israel movement. Its activities include organizing protests and nominating candidates for local and federal elections. 

PSL frequently expresses extreme anti-Zionist and pro-terror views. In the eighteen months after Hamas’s October 7, 2023, terror attack on Israel, for example, PSL sponsored or co-sponsored over 1,700 anti-Israel rallies around the U.S.; the majority of these rallies featured antisemitic rhetoric, including expressions of support for Hamas’s attack, belligerent calls to “smash Zionism,” paraphernalia of U.S.-designated terror groups and more.
