SPUSA describes itself as amulti-tendencysocialist party which hopes to win socialism through a "democraticrevolution from below".In contrast to theDemocratic Socialists of America(DSA), SPUSA advocates for "uncompromising independence" from theDemocratic Party.SPUSA describes socialism as "radical democracy",in opposition to"capitalistandauthoritarianstatist systems ".[2]
Notable members includeDavid McReynolds,Frank Zeidler,andDan La Botz.Former members includeBen Burgis.
Organization
editSPUSA is headquartered at theA. J. MusteInstitute. As of September 2024[update],the Socialist Party had 11 local and state parties. Active SPUSA state parties includeMichigan,New Jersey,Wisconsin.Inactive state parties includeCalifornia,Maine,Kansas.[3]
Membership
editIn 1975, chairman Frank Zeidler claimed that SPUSA had around 500 members nationwide.[4]SPUSA saw growth during the late 1970s and early to mid-1980s, expanding from around 600 members to around 1,700 members.[5]In 2008,WMNFclaimed that SPUSA had around 3,000 members.[6]However, in 2010,CommonDreamswrote that SPUSA had only 1,000 members, and party members described that as an increase in membership.[7]In May 2011,The New York Timesstated that SPUSA had "about 1,000 members nationally".[8]In February 2012,The Rootstated that SPUSA had "around 1,500" members.[9][10]
History
editBackground
editIn 1958, theIndependent Socialist League,led byMax Shachtman,dissolved and joined theSocialist Party of America(SPA), which was founded byEugene V. Debs.[11]Shachtman had written thatSoviet communismwas anew form of class society,bureaucratic collectivism,in which the ruling class exploited and oppressed the population, and therefore he opposed the spread of communism.[12][13][14]Shachtman argued that democratic socialists should work withlabor unionsandcivil rights organizationsto build asocial democratic"realignment" of theDemocratic Party."Shachmanites" had a great amount of influence on the SPA.[13]
In its 1972 convention, the SPA changed its name toSocial Democrats, USAby a vote of 73 to 34, supported by both Co-Chairmen,Bayard RustinandCharles S. Zimmerman.[15][16]This rename was meant to be "realistic".The New York Timesobserved that the Socialist Party had last sponsoredDarlington Hoopesas its candidate for president in the1956 election,who received only 2,121 votes, in just six states. The majority report noted that the name "party" was "misleading" because the SPA no longer sponsored presidential candidates, and also hindered recruitment of activists who participated in the Democratic Party. The name "Socialist" was replaced by "Social Democrats" because many American associated the word "socialism"with Soviet communism.[15]The party also wished to distinguish itself from two small Marxist parties.[17]
The convention elected a national committee of 33 members, with 22 seats for the majority caucus, 8 seats for Harrington's Coalition Caucus, 2 for the Debs caucus, and one for the "independent"Samuel H. Friedman.[18]These minority caucuses all opposed the name change.[15]The convention voted on and adopted proposals for its program by a two-one vote, with the majority caucus winning every vote.[18]
Founding
editAfter their defeat at the convention, members of the two minority caucuses helped to found new socialist organizations. Harrington's Coalition Caucus created theDemocratic Socialist Organizing Committee.
The Debs Caucus, led byDavid McReynolds,formed the Union for Democratic Socialism. On May 30, 1973, the UDS incorporated the Socialist Party of the United States of America.[19]Many activists from the local and state branches of the old Socialist Party of America, including the party's Wisconsin, California, Illinois, New York City, Philadelphia and Washington, D.C. organizations, participated in the reconstitution of SPUSA.[20]
After its founding, the party promoted itself as the legitimate heir of the Socialist Party of America.[21]SPUSA electedFrank Zeidler,formerMayor of Milwaukee,as its first nationalchairperson.Later, SPUSA nominated Zeidler for President. Zeidler believed the party would be able to collaborate with other socialist parties nationwide to spread the message of socialism.[4]
Subsequent history
editIn 2008,SPUSA candidate for PresidentBrian Moorevocally opposed the idea thatBarack Obamawas a socialist of any kind,[22]saying it was "misleading of theRepublicans"to spread that message.[23]
In 2009, theSocialist Party of Connecticutprotested inHartfordagainst Obama's troop surge in Afghanistan.[24]
In 2010, SPUSA Co-ChairBilly Whartoncalled Obama's2010 State of the Union Addressa "public relations ploy".[25]Wharton criticized theAffordable Care Actas designed "to protect the profit margins of private insurance companies".[26]
Ideology
editSPUSA argues that socialism can only come throughsocial revolution.SPUSA tendencies include bothdemocratic socialism,for a gradual transformation of society, andrevolutionary socialism,for a rapid transformation following a slow "socialist transformation from below" through radically democratic "people's organizations".[2]SPUSA describes socialism as aradically democraticsystem which "places people's lives under their own control—a classless, feminist, socialist society free of racism, sexism, homophobia or transphobia," and in which "the people own and control the means of production and distribution through democratically controlled public agencies, cooperatives, or other collective groups"; "full employment is realized for everyone who wants to work"; "workers have the right to form unions freely, and to strike and engage in other forms of job actions"; and "production of society is used for the benefit of all humanity, not for the private profit of a few."[2]
Socialist Party candidates support expandingsocial spendingandsocial ownershipof capital. In 2009, Greg Pason's proposals included socializing theUnited States health care system,a steeplygraduated income tax,universalrent controland the elimination of all educational debts andtuitionfees.[27]In 1997, Pason calledauto insurance"aregressive taxagainst working people ".[28]Moore was also vocal of his support forsocialized medicine.[29]Moore supportedeconomic democracythroughsocial ownershipandworkers' controlof our reigning industrial andfinancial institutions.[22]
