A History of British Socialism (Classic Reprint) by Max Beer Pdf

Excerpt from A History of British Socialism The book which is now published under the title A History of British Socialism, Volume was intended by the author to be the first of two volumes, the second of which would carry the story of British Socialism into the opening decade of the present century. The War intervened before the second volume was ready for the Press, and Mr. Beer, like most other students, was compelled for the time being to lay his literary work on one side. The first volume, therefore, is now published separately; the next, it is hoped, will appear on the return of peace. Together they will form the most complete account of the development of Socialist thought in Great Britain which has yet appeared. The subject of the present volume is the growth of Socialism down to the rise of Chartism, and its readers must remember that there is a sequel in which the story is completed. But the period with which it deals is sufficiently distinct to be studied separately, and the book is a unity, not a mutilated fragment.

British Socialism by J. Ellis Barker Pdf

Excerpt from British Socialism: An Examination of Its Doctrines, Policy, Aims and Practical Proposals It is exceedingly difficult to answer that question in a few words, for Socialism is exceedingly elusive and bewildering in its doctrines, its aims, and its proposals.

The Making of British Socialism by Mark Bevir Pdf

A compelling look at the origins of British socialism The Making of British Socialism provides a new interpretation of the emergence of British socialism in the late nineteenth century, demonstrating that it was not a working-class movement demanding state action, but a creative campaign of political hope promoting social justice, personal transformation, and radical democracy. Mark Bevir shows that British socialists responded to the dilemmas of economics and faith against a background of diverse traditions, melding new economic theories opposed to capitalism with new theologies which argued that people were bound in divine fellowship. Bevir utilizes an impressive range of sources to illuminate a number of historical questions: Why did the British Marxists follow a Tory aristocrat who dressed in a frock coat and top hat? Did the Fabians develop a new economic theory? What was the role of Christian theology and idealist philosophy in shaping socialist ideas? He explores debates about capitalism, revolution, the simple life, sexual relations, and utopian communities. He gives detailed accounts of the Marxists, Fabians, and ethical socialists, including famous authors such as William Morris and George Bernard Shaw. And he locates these socialists among a wide cast of colorful characters, including Karl Marx, Henry Thoreau, Leo Tolstoy, and Oscar Wilde. By showing how socialism combined established traditions and new ideas in order to respond to the changing world of the late nineteenth century, The Making of British Socialism turns aside long-held assumptions about the origins of a major movement.

A History of British Socialism Volume 2 by Max Beer Pdf

This historic book may have numerous typos and missing text. Purchasers can usually download a free scanned copy of the original book (without typos) from the publisher. Not indexed. Not illustrated. 1921 edition. Excerpt: ... THE GENERAL CONVENTION t.--THE OPENING OF THE CONVENTION The immediate result of the efforts made during 1838 was the National Convention, which met in London on February 4, 1839, for the purpose of inducing parliament to adopt the National Petition and the People's Charter. The Convention was the first Labour Parliament in Great Britain. Its original title was the National Convention, but since that name revived recollections of the French Revolution and contributed to increase the enmity of the ruling classes towards Chartism, the Chartist leaders agreed to alter it. From this time it was called: "The General Convention of the Industrious Classes of Great Britain." The number of the delegates elected in the various towns and districts was 56, 53 of whom accepted their mandates. The delegates were not by any means united in their views and plans. They gradually formed three parties, a Right, a Left, and a Centre. The Right, to which J. P. Cobbett, Hadley, Salt, and Wade belonged, was dead against any serious contest or any violent speech, and was in favour of the Convention acting strictly within the letter of the law. The great majority of the Convention, including O'Connor, Lovett, and O'Brien, were for legal and constitutional means; by "constitutional" they understood struggles and resistance to constituted authority interpreted by O'Connor, on the one hand, probably as street fighting, whilst Lovett, on the other, would be thinking of demonstrations and protests, possibly leading to trials and imprisonment of delegates. The Left consisted of Taylor, Cardo, Ryder, Harney, Frost, Burns, Bussey, Marsden, and Lowery, who by degrees arrived at the firm conviction that insurrection was to be preferred to any number of speeches or...

The Bolshevik Revolution by Maxim Litvinoff Pdf

Excerpt from The Bolshevik Revolution: Its Rise and Meaning The memorable uprising of the Russian people indicates that not even the keenest discernment can always accurately appraise the immediate course of events dependent upon the action of the working class. There were but few among Socialists in Western and Middle Europe who held the belief that the War would lead to working-class control in Russia, and the conse quent removal of the gravest menace to a democratised Germany. Wide difference in conditions notwith standing, the intensification of work, never to be assuaged by proposals for industrial harmony between Capital and Labour, may lead to action here as unexpected as the events that mark the recent history of Russia. Though the members of the British Socialist Party were among the first to welcome the March Revolu tion they were not without misgiving as to the practical worth of the Provisional Government. The Revolution had been made in the name of the solidarity of the working classes and in order that the power of the possessors of land and capital might be abridged in the interests of the common people. The British Socialist Party was, Ibelieve, the first of European Socialist organisations to see that the predecessors of the Bolsheviks had no intention of erecting a social organisation based on the truths that Labour is the source of all economic values and that enduring peace will only be obtained by the international agreement of peeples. In our Party organ The Call, we urgedthat the taking of power by the Soviets was the one course that would save Russia from destruction at the hands of her enemies, within and without; the ultimate acceptance of that view and the administrative success of the Soviets prove the wisdom of that policy. With the general policy of the Bolsheviks the British Socialist Party is in hearty agreement. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Excerpt from The Workers International Internationalism. On International, an important chapter in the social history of Europe, I have had the good fortune to be able to consult the Minute book and other documentary sources. I have given great attention to the First International because I believe it to be an episode whose importance to European labour, and to British economic history has been seriously underrated.

Socialisation in Theory and Practice (Classic Reprint) by Heinrich Strobel Pdf

Excerpt from Socialisation in Theory and Practice As the Socialist Parties in Western Europe approach nearer to the goal of political power, the question of Socialisation will be forced more and more into the arena of political contention. The British Labour Party, which has made significant progress within recent months, draws its inspiration from the economic doctrines of Socialism. Alike to friend and opponent of Socialist develop ments, it is of urgent importance to be conscious of the full meaning and the various social implications of a policy directed to the socialisation of vital industries. The Russian experiment in the application of Communistic principles has passed through strange vicissitudes during the past four years, and the section devoted to this subject by Herr Strobel emphasises the salient features of Communist policy, and describes the social and economic consequences which have flowed from it. The political and economic history of Germany during the two years which followed the Armistice, comprising a protracted civil war and violent political agitations all clustering round the question of the economic transformation of society, has not received from the members of the British Labour Movement a quarter of the attention that has been bestowed upon the Russian experiment. Yet the experiences of industrial Germany are more relevant to the immediate aspirations of British Socialism than the dissimilar economic structure of Russia. Herr Strobel has described the scope and the con sequences of the recent experiments in Socialisation undertaken in three European countries, and has te lated the practical details of these endeavours to the general principles of Socialism.

Marx, Engels and Modern British Socialism by Seamus Flaherty Pdf

This book is a reception study of Karl Marx’s and Friedrich Engels’ ideas in Britain during the late nineteenth century and a revisionist account of the emergence of modern British socialism. It reconstructs how H. M. Hyndman, E. B. Bax, and William Morris interacted with Marx and ‘Marxism’. It shows how Hyndman was a socialist of liberal and republican provenance, rather than the Tory radical he is typically held to be; how Bax was a sophisticated thinker and highly influential figure in European socialist circles, rather than a negligible pedant; and it shows how Morris’s debt to Bax and liberalism has not been given its due. It demonstrates how John Stuart Mill, in particular, was combined with Marx in Britain; it illuminates other liberal influences which help to explain the sectarian attitude adopted by the Social Democratic Federation towards organised labour; and it establishes an alternative genealogy for Fabian socialism.
