League of Democratic Socialists

The Confederation of Democratic Socialists ( BDS) was an Austrian group of former Carinthian Labour Minister and Members of Parliament Paul Troop, the candidate in the national election in 1959. The Confederation of Democratic Socialists reached 2,190 votes or 0.1 percent in the election.

In addition to troops participating was the former VdU activist Mark Sorger in a bunch of Democratic Socialists. The Carinthian People's Daily, a party organ of the People's Party, reported in 1956 that troops entered for the establishment of production boards, which should be used in the workplace in addition to the works councils. In addition, he also joined the private sector for the establishment of income limits. In addition, the BDS called for a far-reaching control of the economy and a share of the means of production for the workers. Force was attacked in the wake of the SPÖ Labour because of its high board, he received due to his forced retirement from the Labour until reaching the retirement age.
