Socialist Resistance (SR) is an ecosocialist, feminist and revolutionary organisation in Britain, which publishes a Marxist periodical of the same name. In July 2009 the International Socialist Group (ISG) merged into it, making SR the British Section of the Fourth International.
It was launched on 8 September 2002 by two organisations, the Socialist Solidarity Network (SSN) and International Socialist Group (ISG), and 33 individuals.
The founders of Socialist Resistance included Frances Curran and Catriona Grant, leading members of the Scottish Socialist Party, Murray Smith, former SSP international officer and Andrew Burgin from the Stop the War Coalition, leading members of the Socialist Alliance included James White, secretary of Barnsley Alliance, Mathew Caygill secretary of Leeds Socialist Alliance plus Lesley Mahmood (Liverpool) and Margaret Manning (Manchester) from the Socialist Alliance Executive.
Founded as a network it developed the norms of an organisation, included elected bodies, local groups and formal membership. By 2007 135 activists had subscribed to its internal listserver [1], of whom around at least 65 could be assumed to have been members of the ISG [2]; and at least 20 of whom were supporters of the SSN [3]. Its members also include former supporters in Britain of the Democratic Socialist Perspective.
