(contracted; show full)
*[[Official Sinn Féin]] - Were the political wing of the Official IRA who supported the communist direction of IRA leader [[Cathal Goulding]]. Official Sinn Féin went on to become Sinn Féin/Workers Party and later on became the [[Workers
' Party of Ireland]]. This is not the same political party currently known as [[Sinn Féin]].  The current Sinn Féin (originally [[Provisional Sinn Féin]]) opposed the move to Marxism of the Officials and supported the non-communist Provisional IRA.

Socialist republican groups from Scotland:

*[[Scottish Workers Republican Party]] - Founded by Scottish Marxist [[John Maclean MA]] who supported an independent and communist Scotland
*[[Scottish Socialist Party]] - Led by [[Colin Fox]] claims to be the successor to John Maclean's movement. The party is the 6th largest in the [[Scottish Parliament]] with six seats. Officially the party is not communist but does have a small Marxist-Leninist tendency (faction). 
*[[Scottish Republican Socialist Movement]] - was a political party which advocated an independent and communist Scotland from 1974 to 1998. Afterwards the SRSM allied with the Scottish Socialist Party.  That link was broken in 2005 and now it claims to be an independent and cross-party organization.
