The SPF is a multi-tendency political Party

The Socialist Party of Florida (SPF) is a democratic socialist party that is the Florida state affiliate of Socialist Party USA. Like the national party, the SPF is a multi-tendency party based in the ideals of Eugene V. Debs and Norman Thomas. It advocates a broad-based, democratic social revolution from below rather than an undemocratic seizure of power. Their youth affiliate is the Young People's Socialist League.

[edit] History

The Socialist Party of America was founded in 1901, its Florida affiliate in 1910. In 1972-1973 the SPA split into three groups: the Social Democrats USA, a social democratic think tank; the Democratic Socialist Organizing Committee, a socialist caucus in the Democratic Party; and the Socailist Party USA, an independent third party. The current Socialist Party of Florida was reactivated in the 1990s as an affiliate of the SP USA.
