History
The PST was formed in 1921 among the workers of the factories in northeastern Vassfforcia along many other socialist, anarchic and communist parties. In 1950 they allied with many of these parties in the Izquierda Unida (United Left) and finally the Agrarist Party, the Socialist Party and the Labor Party all joined the PST to give the voters an option of democratic left. Since then the party has allied with the Vassfforcian Green Party, the Christian Democratic Party and since 2000 with the PCD.
