Founded 2015
Solidarity–People Before Profit (S-PBP) is a socialist electoral alliance in Ireland. It positions itself as a radical, anti-capitalist force that defends the interests of the working class against the political establishment and strives for systemic change towards a socialist society.
Values and Ideology
The foundation of S-PBP is revolutionary socialism. The party views capitalism as an unstable system that perpetuates inequality and environmental destruction. Its worldview is shaped by the conviction that genuine change arises not solely through parliamentary action, but through mass movements and street mobilisations. The state, in its current form, is seen as an instrument of the elites, which must be countered by a democratically controlled economic system that prioritises human needs over profits.
Political Priorities
The agenda focuses on the radical redistribution of wealth and the expansion of public services. Key demands include the nationalisation of crucial industries, extensive public housing programmes, and a universal free healthcare system. S-PBP primarily targets low-income earners, renters, and young people who feel alienated from the traditional two-party system. Ecological issues are consistently linked to the class question (Eco-Socialism), with climate protection to be financed through the expropriation of major polluters.
Role in the Political System
Strategically, S-PBP acts as the parliamentary wing of social protest movements. While participating within the institutions of the rule of law, they maintain a fundamental opposition role and strictly reject coalitions with bourgeois-conservative parties. Their goal is to destabilise the political system from within and to foster a united left front. The alliance balances parliamentary work with agitation for an extra-parliamentary break from the existing economic order.
