    We are not the first group to try and unite the left. There have been many movements since the Bakunin-Marx split that have tried to unite the revolutionary left.

    I propose that here we try and make a list of current movements trying to bring the left together in the struggle, so that we can try and keep up with them, and contact them whenever necessary.

    Without further adieu, a list of Pan-leftist movements:

    Daily Kos: http://www.dailykos.com/blog/Anti%20...Meetup%20Group

    This recently came to my attention while on facebook. This contains an anti-capitalist meet-up, which agrees that leftists should unite against capitalism. However, the site itself is Democrat orientated, and some comments against them are not tolerated by the administration.


    Voices on the Square:
    http://voicesonthesquare.com/


    A similar place to Daily Kos, which contains the same anti-capitalist meet-up. However, unlike Daily Kos, it is not attached to any party, and comments against the Democrat party are accepted (I think).



    Socialist Alliance: Various websites.

    An Australian Party, seemingly similar to Syriza. They are an alliance of socialists that know that Australia needs social change, and fighting amongst ourselves only hinders our cause.



    Independent Workers League: http://www.independentworkers.us/index.html


    An American movement attempting to unite American socialists to overthrow the capitalist system and replace it with socialism.



    Communist Party of Great Britain: http://www.cpgb.org.uk/


    The CPGB apparently is interested in uniting the left, likely the British left.



    Revleft- Pan-Leftist: http://www.revleft.com/vb/group.php?groupid=598

    This is a group on Revleft where leftists of all tendencies agree that we must untie to be able to combat capitalism.



    Revleft- United Front: http://www.revleft.com/vb/group.php?groupid=557

    Another group dedicated to uniting the left. However, it seems somewhat dead.



    Revleft- United Anti-Capitalist League: http://www.revleft.com/vb/group.php?groupid=461

    Another seemingly dead group.

    I would like say that SYRIZA has kinda confusing ideas and their people have no actual communication. SY.RI.ZA has SY from συνασπισμός(synaspismos) which means coalition. The members of each party that form this coalition has a different opinion and practically cancels everything that the others say.

    At the same time KKE (Communist Party of Greece) has highlighted that SYRIZA wants to become just like PASOK (this party is the one that ruined our country with New Democracy). They want to have the label of "socialists" with revolutionary ideas but they
    are just a bunch of wooses that don't want to take drastic measures. They just want to take over the power and get money from the big companys so they can sell out even more Greece and Greek people.

    The fact that they suggested the union of the left and nobody (and when I say nobody I mean nobody) accepted the invitation means something...

    Anyway I don't think SYRIZA is a serious party that can bring the revolution or fight capitalism for the rights of the workers. Don't think much of them.

    Okay I'll remove them, however, if anyone wants them back on the list make a post. I'll bend to popular support.
