Democratic Socialist Federation

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Democratic Socialist Federation was a small group of dissenting members of the Social Democratic Federation who opposed the latter's reunification with the Socialist Party of America in 1956. They remained essentially a paper organization until they too reunified with the party in 1972, at the invitation of the followers of Max Shachtman to provide the votes necessary to consolidate their power over the organization and refashion it into the Social Democrats USA.
