Democratic Socialist Party (originally Minshu Shakai-to, later simply Minsha-to) was established in 1960 by a breakaway group (led by Suehiro Nishio) of Japan Socialist Party. It was made up of many members of the former Rightist Socialist Party of Japan, a more moderate social-democratic faction that existed between 1948 and 1955, though Japan Socialist Party reunified afterward. DSP claimed democratic socialism and was a member of Socialist International. The party advocated construction of a welfare state, opposed to totalitarianism (mainly communism), and strongly supported the Japan-US alliance. DSP was dissolved in 1994 to join the New Frontier Party. In 1996, when the Social Democratic Party (Japan) formed and the Japan Socialist Party dissolved, the New Frontier Party dissolved and merged itself with the Democratic Party of Japan. Despite the dissolution of the party back in 1994, its youth organisation (Minsha Youth) has survived until 2003 and was a member of the International Union of Socialist Youth (IUSY). After Minsha Youth was dissolved, some of its former members joined the youth organization of the Social Democratic Party (Japan) - the Young Socialists (Japan), which retains a full membership of IUSY. Young Socialists, however, are the youth organization of the SDP and thus are not affiliated with the former DSP.
It is now defunct.
On domestic policy, the party was a left-wing, democratic socialist party.
