Socialist organizations are groups that advocate for socialism, a political and economic system where the means of production are owned and controlled collectively or by the state. These organizations aim to promote social justice, reduce inequality, and provide public services, often through political activism, education, and community organizing. They may vary in ideology, ranging from democratic socialism to more revolutionary forms of socialism. Members of socialist organizations often engage in campaigns to raise awareness about issues like workers' rights, healthcare access, and environmental sustainability. They may also participate in elections, support labor unions, and collaborate with other progressive movements. Notable examples of socialist organizations include the Democratic Socialists of America and the International Socialist Organization.
