The Republican Socialist Youth Movement was founded in September 2005 following discussion between young Republicans and Socialists who were influenced by the Irish Republican Socialist Movement. It was agreed that an active, educated and energetic youth movement was needed to further the cause of Republican Socialism in Ireland.

Membership is open to all youth regardless of colour, religion or creed. We also encourage any criticism that people might have in regards the political nature or structure of the RSYM.

We give our allegiance to the 32 County Socialist Republic and defend it to the best of our ability.
