Haitian Socialist Party

The Haitian Socialist Party (French: Parti socialiste haïtien, abbreviated PSH) was a small political party in Haiti. The party was founded by Dr. René Salomon in February 1946.[1][2][3] The ideology of PSH combined Marxism with Black nationalism.[1][2][3] A certain number of writers and intellectuals joined the party.[4]

Salomon contested the 1946 parliamentary election. Following the election Salomon and PSH argued that the disunity of the Marxist left had led to its defeat in the polls.[3]

PSH published Classe Moyen et Masse as its organ.[2][3]
