Autonomous Socialist Party (France)
The Autonomous Socialist Party (french: Parti socialiste autonome, PSA) was a splinter party from the French Section of the Workers' International (SFIO). It was founded in September 1958 in reaction against the SFIO stance on the Algerian War and its acceptance of the Gaullist May 1958 putsch. Half a dozen SFIO members of the French National Assembly and local elected officials joined the splinter party, as well as members from the (centrist) Radical Party, most notably Pierre Mendès France, former Prime Minister. None of the PSA deputies were reelected at the November 1958 legislative election. The PSA merged into the Unified Socialist Party in 1960 as one of its founding organisations.Bernard Ravenel, ''Quand la gauche se réinventait: Le PSU, histoire d'un parti visionnaire, 1960-1989'', La Découverte, 2016 (more particularly the chapter 'La longue gestation du PSU'p.34 Members * Édouard Depreux (general secretary, member of the National Assembly) *Alain Savary (deput ...

Democratic socialism is a Left-wing politics, left-wing political philosophy that supports political democracy and some form of a socially owned economy, with a particular emphasis on economic democracy, workplace democracy, and workers' self-management within a market socialist economy or an alternative form of a decentralised planned socialist economy.
