The Chicago Socialist Party (CSP) is the local chapter of the Socialist Party USA in Chicago, Illinois and traces its origins back to the Cook County Socialist Party and the Socialist Party of America. It is a democratic socialist organization that supports numerous progressive and radical causes in an effort to help build a broad-based, multi-tendency socialist movement.
During the early years of the Socialist Party of America, the Chicago Socialist Party was one of the strongest locals in the country.[1]
