Scottish Socialists

Scottish Socialists refer to members of political parties or movements in Scotland that advocate for socialist principles, emphasizing social justice, wealth redistribution, and public ownership of essential services. The most prominent party is the Scottish Socialist Party (SSP), founded in 1998, which focuses on issues like workers' rights, environmental sustainability, and equality. They often seek to address social inequalities and promote policies that benefit the working class, contrasting with more centrist political parties. Scottish socialism is part of a broader tradition in Scotland that values community, solidarity, and democratic control of resources.
