History In September 1967 a conference was held in New York and various autonomous Independent Socialist Clubs were federated under the umbrella Independent Socialist Clubs of America. A quarterly, Independent Socialist or I.S. had begun in early 1967 and became the organ of the new group The group worked within the CORE, the Berkeley Free Speech Movement and helped initiate the California Peace and Freedom Party, which it saw as a form of "independent political action ... leading eventually, or hoping to crystallize the development of a Workers party". The movement recruited many members from its work in the PFP and among Students for a Democratic Society. When the SDS imploded in 1969 many of its members joined the Independent Socialists, including the Revolutionary Socialist Caucus, and significant parts of the SDS chapters at the University of Chicago, University of Michigan, CCNY, and Madison. The Revolutionary Workers Committee at Detroit also joined. With all of these additions it was decided that a national organization should be created, more centralized than the former federation of autonomous clubs. Thus the "International Socialists" were formed at a convention in September 1969 Normal 0 false false false EN-US X-NONE X-NONE THIS IS MY HOBBY AND IS NOT A BUSINESS.
