The Party for Socialism and Liberation (PSL) is a Marxist-Leninist political party in the United States. It was created as the result of a split within the ranks of Workers World Party (WWP). The San Francisco branch and several other members left WWP in 2004, announcing that "the Workers World Party leadership is no longer capable of fulfilling that mission ". The PSL has since established two national offices in Washington, D.C. and in San Francisco alongside 23 local branches across the country. In 2008, Gloria La Riva and Eugene Puryear ran for President and Vice President on the first PSL ticket. In November 2011, Peta Lindsay and Yari Osorio were announced as the PSL's presidential ticket in 2012.

Famous quotes containing the words party, socialism and/or liberation:
“The party out of office becomes the articulate one.”
—Mason Cooley (b. 1927)
“Men conceive themselves as morally superior to those with whom they differ in opinion. A Socialist who thinks that the opinions of Mr. Gladstone on Socialism are unsound and his own sound, is within his rights; but a Socialist who thinks that his opinions are virtuous and Mr. Gladstone’s vicious, violates the first rule of morals and manners in a Democratic country; namely, that you must not treat your political opponent as a moral delinquent.”
—George Bernard Shaw (1856–1950)
“Women’s Liberation is just a lot of foolishness. It’s the men who are discriminated against. They can’t bear children. And no one’s likely to do anything about that.”
—Golda Meir (1898–1978)
