Social Democrats, USA
Social Democrats, USA (SDUSA) is a social democratic organization in the United States. SDUSA formed in 1972 as the successor to the Socialist Party of America (SPA), which splintered into three: SDUSA; the Democratic Socialist Organizing Committee; and the Socialist Party USA. SDUSA describes itself as committed to the broader democratic socialist tradition, but is firmly anti-communist and used "social democrat" rather than "socialist" to disassociate the group from the Soviet Union.
