Independent Socialist Party (Hungary)

The Independent Socialist Party (Hungarian: Független Szocialísta Párt) was a political party in Hungary. It was founded in 1897 by István Várkonyi. Várkonyi had been expelled from the Hungarian Social Democratic Party for being outspoken on agrarian issues. Várkonyi's party advocated land reforms, including forced sale of large estates. It took part in mobilizing radical peasant struggles.[1]
