Socialist Youth League (Sweden)

The Socialist Youth League (Socialistiska Ungdomsförbundet, SUF) of Sweden was founded in Stockholm in 1897.[1] The SUF soon attracted "radical" elements who stood in opposition to social democratic leaders.[1][2] In 1903, part of the organisation split off to become the Social Democratic Youth League.[1] The remainder of the SUF formed the backbone of the Young Socialists, founded in 1908.[1]

Notable members included Albert Jensen, who went on to found the Central Organisation of the Workers of Sweden in 1910.[1]
