The Socialist International is a worldwide association of social democratic, socialist and labour parties. It was re-established at a congress in Frankfurt, and it considers itself the successor to the Second International, founded in 1889, and the Labour and Socialist International, which collapsed during the Second World War. Its early statement of aims, the Declaration of Frankfurt, committed it to democratic socialism and rejected communism. It has included parties such as the British Labour Party, the German SPD and the French Socialists. Its influence has declined since the Cold War, and some of its members left in the 2010s to form a rival alliance.
