History
RS was founded in 2015 as a party with a socialist standpoint, originating from the split of a left-wing faction of Riccardo Nencini's Italian Socialist Party.
On the occasion of the 2018 general elections, the party joined the Power to the People list, together with Communist Refoundation Party, Italian Communist Party, and other far-left parties and associations,[12] under the leadership of Viola Carofalo. However, Power to the People scored 1.1% of the vote and elected no MPs.
In 2022, RS joined People's Union, the electoral list (which brings together Democracy and Autonomy, Communist Refoundation Party and Power to the People) created by Luigi de Magistris to participate in the general elections of the same year.[13] On this occasion, the party's coordinator Franco Bartolomei is a candidate for the Senate in the single-member constituency "BAT–Murgia", in Apulia.[14]
