Unified Socialist Party (Magisteria)

The Unified Socialist Party (French: Parti Socialiste Unifié) is a Vibertist political party in Magisteria. Prior to the unification, the party was founded in 2021 under the name Party of Democratic Egalitarians. It was formed after PDE, NPM, and DR agreed for a unification. It is currently the ruling party of Magisteria, with 257 seats on the unicameral National Parliament.

History
The party was founded as the Party of Democratic Egalitarians on 7 September 2021, after incumbent president Phil Vibert left the social democratic Magisterian Democratic Party, alongside vice presidents Catherine Fournier-Dixon, Athelstan Matthews, and other MDP members.

On 1 January 2022, the leaders of the PDE, NPM, and DR agreed for a unification for the upcoming 2023 parliamentary elections which will take place on November 2023. On 14 March 2022, the three parties officially unified to form the Unified Socialist Party.

Tendencies within the Unified Socialist Party
USP members have views ranging across the spectrum of mainly Vibertism and democratic socialism. Some of the members' views range from social liberalism to communism.

Anti-fascism and anti-racism
Positioning itself as an anti-racist and anti-fascist political party, the USP connects this fight against fascist groups to its broader struggle against capitalism. Members have been present at various anti-fascist marches and protests.

Vibert initiated a Nazi purge, where he ordered to take down the domestic terrorist organization MNSWP as 'revenge to the 1976 leap day bombings'. The National Socialist Movement condemned the purge, and stated that they will 'stand up for their Magisterian brothers'.

LGBT+ rights
The USP is committed to the rights of the LGBT community, connecting anti-gay prejudice to capitalist exploitation. This includes pushes for equal rights and protections for all those who identify as LGBTQIA+ as well as rights to housing, jobs, education, public accommodations and healthcare.
