Encyclopedia
Liberdade, Socialismo e Revolução (LSR) is the Brazil
ian section of the Committee for a Workers' International
, an international association of Trotskyist
parties.
LSR was created in 2009 by a fusion of Socialismo Revolucionário (SR) and Colectivo Liberdade Socialiste (CLS), preceded by two years of close co-operation between the two groups.
SR emerged from the struggle of Brazilian CWI members to build a revolutionary left alternative in the mass movement. It was founded in 1996. It supports a socialist program and strategy and has been involved in the struggles of young people and workers.
LSR members are active on several fronts, including schools, factories, non-industrial workplaces, and neighborhoods, organizing against government abuses. They are active in the Socialism and Freedom Party
(P-SOL) (in which LSR exists as a tendency), in the mass organizations of the working class and the youth, in the unions
, in the Conlutas union confederation, workplace associations, student unions and school entities, defending the unification of struggles and linking immediate demands and struggles with the general struggle against capitalism
