The Socialist Workers' Party (Partido Socialista dos Trabalhadores, PST) was a Portuguese political party founded in 1980 (by dissidents of the Revolutionary Socialist Party[3]) and dissolved in 1981.
It was the Portuguese organisation of the Fourth International (linked to the Parity Committee[4][2], an attempt to unify the "Lambertist" and "Morenist" factions of Trotskyism and to the Bolsheviks faction[5]), proletarian and revolutionary, with the objective of establishing a dictatorship of the proletariat through the abolition of capitalism.
It stood in a single election, in coalition with the Workers' Party of Socialist Unity (POUS), for the 1980 Portuguese legislative election.[6]
