The '''Freedom Socialist Party''' ('''FSP''') is a [[Trotskyism|Trotskyist]] and [[Socialist feminism|socialist feminist]] [[Political parties in the United States|political party in the United States]]. FSP formed in 1966, when its members split from the [[Socialist Workers Party (United States)|Socialist Workers Party]]. FSP views the struggles of women, [[person of color|people of color]] and [[sexual minority|sexual minorities]] as intrinsic to the struggle of the [[working class]]. Notable FSP members include [[Megan Cornish]], [[Heidi Durham]], [[Richard S. Fraser]], and [[Clara Fraser]].

== Membership ==
FSP has branches in the [[United States]], as well as [[Australia]], [[England]], [[Germany]] and [[New Zealand]].<ref>{{cite news |title=Where We Are |url=https://socialism.com/where-we-are/ |access-date=4 November 2019 |work=Freedom Socialist Party}}</ref> FSP is affiliated with [[Radical Women]], a socialist feminist organization.

== History ==

[[File:Seattle - Columbia City - New Freeway Hall 01.jpg  | thumb  | upright | FSP is headquartered in New Freeway Hall in [[Columbia City, Seattle|Columbia City]], Seattle]]

=== Background ===
The immediate forerunner of FSP was the Kirk-Kaye tendency within the Socialist Workers Party (SWP), led by [[Richard S. Fraser]] (Kirk) and [[Clara Fraser]] (Kaye) who were then married.<ref name="Sheppard">{{cite book |last=Sheppard|first=Barry|title=The Party: The Socialist Workers Party, 1960-1988, Volume 1|year=2005|publisher=Resistance Books|page=104}}</ref>

The Kirk-Kaye tendency primarily disagreed with SWP leadership on three points: The Kirk-Kaye tendency supported [[revolutionary integrationism]], in contrast to the SWP's support for [[Black nationalism]] and the [[Nation of Islam]].
The Kirk-Kaye tendency argued that [[socialist feminism]] must be a top priority for socialist organizations. And the Kirk-Kaye tendency claimed that the SWP was undemocratic.<ref name="Alexander1991" />{{rp|936}}

=== Founding ===
FSP formed in 1966, when its members split from the [[Socialist Workers Party (United States)|Socialist Workers Party]]. The party's [[Seattle, Washington|Seattle]] branch, with support from individuals in other cities, split off from the SWP over what it described as the SWP's entrenched [[opportunism]] and undemocratic methods.<ref name="Alexander1991">{{cite book |last=Alexander |first=Robert J. |author-link=Robert J. Alexander |date=1991 |title=International Trotskyism, 1929–1985: A Documented Analysis of the Movement |publisher=[[Duke University Press]] |isbn=978-0-8223-0975-8 |url=https://archive.org/details/internationaltro0000alex |pages=761–951}}</ref>{{rp|937–938}}

FSP advocated for [[social class|class]] [[Solidarity (sociology)|solidarity]] of [[African-American|Black]] and [[White people|white]] workers, called for a greatly expanded understanding of and attention to [[socialist feminism|women's emancipation]], and urged the [[anti-war]] movement to support the socialist, [[anti-colonialism|anti-colonial]] aims of the [[August Revolution|Vietnamese Revolution]].

FSP became a pole of attraction for Seattle leftists opposed to the SWP's internal politics and established a home at Freeway Hall.<ref name="Crowley">{{cite book |last=Crowley|first=Walt|title=Rites of Passage: A Memoir of the Sixties in Seattle|year=2010|publisher=University of Washington Press|pages=21–22}}</ref><ref>{{cite book|last=Winslow|first=Barbara|title=The Feminist Memoir Project: Voices from Women's Liberation|year=2007|pages=227, 230–231, 235–236|chapter=Primary and Secondary Contradictions in Seattle: 1967-1969|editor1=Rachel Blau DuPlessis|editor1-link=Rachel Blau DuPlessis|editor2=Ann Barr Snitow|editor2-link=Ann Barr Snitow}}</ref><ref>{{cite book|last=McKay|first=Ian|title=Rebels, Reds, Radicals: Rethinking Canada's Left History|year=2005|publisher=Between the Lines|page=242}}</ref>  The party formed [[Radical Women]] with the dual goal of building a revolutionary [[Socialist feminism|socialist feminist]] organization and teaching women the organizational and leadership skills that were often denied to them in male-dominated organizations.<ref name="NotableWomen">{{cite book |last=James|first=Edward T., Janet Wilson James, Paul S. Boyer|title=Notable American Women: A Biographical Dictionary, Volume 5|publisher=Harvard University Press|page=414}}</ref>

=== Subsequent history ===
In 1978, FSP joined the [[Committee for a Revolutionary Socialist Party]] (CRSP), an attempted united front of Trotskyist parties. In 1980, CRSP collapsed.<ref name="Fraser" /><ref name="Alexander1991" />{{rp|936–938}}

In 1989, FSP founded the United Front Against Fascism (UFAF), an anti-fascist organization that included a broad coalition of the [[left-wing politics|Left]], the [[LGBT]] community, [[trade union|labor unionists]], [[feminism|feminists]], [[people of color]], [[Jew]]s, and [[Civil libertarianism|civil libertarians]]. UFAF took the lead in mobilizing against [[neo-Nazism|neo-Nazis]] in the [[Pacific Northwest]] in the 1980s and 1990s.<ref>{{cite news|last=Kubelbeck|first=Amy|title=Groups Of Gays Protest Picnic|url=https://archive.seattletimes.com/archive/19900804/1086045/groups-of-gays-protest-picnic|access-date=2013-03-17|newspaper=The Seattle Times|date=Aug 4, 1990}}</ref><ref>{{cite news|last=Lacitis|first=Erik|title=An Ax To Grind -- When It Comes To Skinheads And Nazis, Loggers, Gays Unite|url=https://archive.seattletimes.com/archive/19910716/1294655/an-ax-to-grind----when-it-comes-to-skinheads-and-nazis-loggers-gays-unite|access-date=2013-03-17|newspaper=The Seattle Times|date=1991-07-16}}</ref><ref>{{cite news|last=Angelos|first=Constantine|title=Rice, Citizens Groups Join To Declare Seattle Won't Tolerate Hate Crimes|url=https://archive.seattletimes.com/archive/19900519/1072597/rice-citizens-groups-join-to-declare-seattle-wont-tolerate-hate-crimes|access-date=2013-03-17|newspaper=The Seattle Times|date=1990-05-19}}</ref><ref>{{cite news|last=Gough|first=William|title=A Gathering Of Neo-Nazis -- Encampment Draws Protest|url=https://archive.seattletimes.com/archive/19911208/1321657/a-gathering-of-neo-nazis----encampment-draws-protest|access-date=2013-03-17|newspaper=The Seattle Times|date=Dec 8, 1991}}</ref><ref>{{cite news|last=Reang|first=Putsata|title=Supremacist Guilty In Klan Scuffle -- Federal Way Man Broke Free- Lancer's Camera|url=https://archive.seattletimes.com/archive/19961002/2352224/supremacist-guilty-in-klan-scuffle----federal-way-man-broke-free--lancers-camera|access-date=2013-03-17|newspaper=The Seattle Times|date=Oct 2, 1996}}</ref><ref>{{cite book|last=Wilcox|first=Laird|title=The Cultic Milieu|year=2002|publisher=Rowman Altamira|pages=334–335|editor=Jeffrey S.

In 2003, [[Lyndon LaRouche]] filed a complaint with the [[Federal Election Commission]] that FSP's ''Red Letter Press'' and its managing editor, Helen Gilbert, had violated campaign finance laws. Gilbert had issued a pamphlet critical of LaRouche's ideology and political history.<ref>Helen Gilbert, [http://www.redletterpress.org/redreaders.html#larouche "Lyndon Larouche: Fascism Restyled for the New Millennium"], Redletterpress.org</ref> The FEC found LaRouche's complaint to be without merit and dismissed it.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.fec.gov/press/press2004/20041104mur.html|work=[[Federal Election Commission]]|title=COMPLIANCE CASE MADE PUBLIC|date=November 4, 2004|access-date=August 24, 2009|url-status=dead|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20090831114409/http://fec.gov/press/press2004/20041104mur.html|archive-date=August 31, 2009}}</ref>
