Libertarian Socialist Groups in the UK?

[TheGeekySocialist]

are there any? would like to get involved in more activism and meet people with similar views outside of University :)

I live in Somerset at the moment if this helps at all?

Libertarian socialist, I'd love to see you go on a mainstream board full of Americans ie politicalforum with that description! It would cause mayhem. I used to go on there but i got so bored with the right whingers.

"libertarian socialist" is imo a very broad and indistinct term so i don't know if these orgs are what you're after:

http://www.afed.org.uk/ (anarchist-communist - influenced by council communism, uphold the platform etc)
http://thecommune.co.uk/ (broad - council communist, syndicalist, anarchist etc inspired)
http://www.solfed.org.uk/ (anarcho-syndicalist)

there are various local anarchist groups across the country - tend to be very broad and based around populist community politics more than anything else

alternatively if you have a shit definition of "libertarian socialism" you might find some kinship with groups like the 'green broad' within the green party:

You might want to have a look at the libertarian communism journal based in Dorset, I believe

They have sections for SolFed and the AF and other organisations, and they have sections for different regions of the UK.

Added to which, they're specifically the forum for Libertarian Communism.

Sol-Fed is pretty legit. Their members are strong and militant. Recently, they won a fight against the world's largest Temp-agency. I would recommend getting in touch with them.
