Workers' Party of Social Justice ((チェコ語:Dělnická strana sociální spravedlnosti)) is a Czech political party, often described as the major far-right extremist party in the Czech Republic. The party is not represented in any legislative body in the Czech Republic and its biggest electoral success so far has been a gain of 1,14% in the Czech legislative election in 2010. Some of the high-ranking party officials, including a Prague party leader, have been associated with neo-nazi groups such as ''Národní odpor'', Czech subsidiary of international militant neo-nazi group.〔().

The party was banned, making it the first instance of banning a party for its ideology in the modern history of the Czech Republic.〔(Aktualne.cz: Soud zrušil Dělnickou stranu. Chtěla rozvrátit stát )〕 The party was transformed into a "Party of Citizens of the Czech Republic"〔http://www.lidovky.cz/zakazana-delnicka-strana-pujde-do-voleb-jen-pod-jinou-hlavickou-pvr-/zpravy-domov.aspx?c=A100220_101839_ln_domov_mk〕 and the party was renamed to Workers' Party of Social Justice. Title amended and the program kept the same with small adjustments.〔 == Ideology and program == The program of the Workers' Party is not easily classifiable. On January 19, 2003, a day after the party was established, it published a press release that it planned to compete mostly with the Czech communist party〔(). Electronic archive of party press releases, January 19, 2010〕 and as late as in early autumn 2008 the Workers' party program was considerably socialist, when the party's most important program point in the regional elections was an abolition of medical fees paid by Czech patients. The party received less than 1% of votes, but shortly afterwards attracted major media attention for organizing riots in quarters of Litvínov city with a significant Roma population.〔().

The party has then started to emphasize a nationalist dimension of its program, mostly effort to overhaul what they see as a favorable treatment of minorities, and in fact has started a radically anti-communist rhetoric, e.g. on the 20th anniversary of the collapse of communism in Czechoslovakia the party leader Tomáš Vandas has said: "''So what is the state of the society nowadays? In one word: tragic. Communists still govern us''.".〔(). Speech of the party chairman, November 17, 2009 (only in Czech)〕 The party claims that it is the only "real opposition" in the Czech Republic, since it is the only party opposing the Czech political system. The party has repeatedly called for the overthrow and subversion of Czech political system, which the party describes both as "liberal"〔(). Workers news: "Let's clean up our own country". (Official party newspaper, only in Czech)〕 and "totalitarian"〔(). Workers news: "Vandas: The post-November regime has discredited itself". (Official party newspaper, only in Czech)〕 The official slogan for 2009 European elections was "Resist the totalitarian regime". The party's program includes reducing national debt while increasing old age pensions and reducing the retirement age.〔().

Party program, article I〕 and giving the police discretion to treat the arrested person inhumanly.〔 In international affairs, the party opposes NATO and European Union and requires the Czech Republic leave these organizations.〔 The party is strongly anti-American and seems to be pro-Russian,〔().
