Socialist Party was a minor left-wing political party in South Korea, founded in 1998. It advocated an ideology of socialism, ''social republicanism'', peace and environmentalism. On 19 February 2012, at its final Sixteenth Party Congress, the Socialist Party voted by 404 votes to 54 to merge with the New Progressive Party.〔(사회당, 진보신당과의 합당을 위한 수임기관 설치 ) Socialist Party, 19 February 2012. Retrieved 8 March 2012.〕 The party was formally dissolved on 4 March 2012. == History == The ''People's Victory 21'' ((朝鮮語:국민승리21)) party (the later DLP) was formed in preparation for the presidential election of 1997. This was an attempt to unite South Korean progressives in a single party, but dissenting progressives who focused on class struggle argued that there was an excess of nationalism in the VoP21 platform. As an example, they pointed to the slogan of Kwon Young-ghil, VoP21's presidential candidate, "''Stand up, Korea!''" ((朝鮮語:"일어나라 코리아!")). After the election, these dissenting progressives formed the "Youth Progressive Party" ((朝鮮語:청년진보당)). The Youth Progressive Party ran for election to the National Assembly in the Guro-gu local constituency, and attained 4.1% of the votes cast. In August 2001, the party changed its name to "Socialist Party" under the slogan "''Against Capitalism, Against WPK''", targeting certain nationalists known as the "NL" (National Liberation) faction within the Democratic Labor Party. The party changed its name to "Hope Socialist Party" ((朝鮮語:희망사회당)) in April 2006, and to "Korea Socialist Party" ((朝鮮語:한국사회당)) in October 2006 due to the Korean law forbidding the usage of a party name for four years when registration is canceled. In the 2008 parliamentary elections, the party amassed less than 3% of the vote, and the national election committee consequently canceled its registration. In November, the party re-registered with the name "Socialist Party". 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Socialist Party (South Korea)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
