Polish Socialist Party - Revolution Faction

Polish Socialist Party - Revolution Faction

Polish Socialist Party - Revolutionary Faction also known as Old Faction (Polish: "Polska Partia Socjalistyczna - Frakcja Rewolucyjna", "- Starzy", or "PPS-FR") was one of two factions into which Polish Socialist Party divided itself in 1906. Its primary goal was to restore independent Poland, which was envisioned as a representative democracy.

Its opposition was the Polish Socialist Party - Left (also known as Young Faction or PPS-L), which believed that Poland should be a socialist country, established through proletarian revolution, and likely a member of some international communist country.

With the failure of revolution in the Kingdom of Poland (1905-1907) PPS-L lost popularity, and PPS-FR regained dominance. In 1909 PPS-FR renamed itself back to "Polska Partia Socjalistyczna" (Polish Socialist Party); the increasingly marginal PPS-L merged with Social Democracy of the Kingdom of Poland and Lithuania in 1918 to form the Communist Party of Poland. PPS in the meantime supported militarist pro-independence activities of Combat Organization of the Polish Socialist Party and Związek Walki Czynnej.

Activists of PPS-FR: Józef Piłsudski, Kazimierz Pużak, Tomasz Arciszewski, Rajmund Jaworowski, Leon Wasilewski, Mieczysław Niedziałkowski, Walery Sławek, Norbert Barlicki, Jędrzej Moraczewski.
