Book excerpt: Excerpt from Socialists at Work Almost unknown to the world outside of Labor a movement wide as the universe grows and prospers. Its vitality is incredible, and its humanitarian ideals come to those who labor as drink to parched throats. Its creed and program call forth a passionate adherence, its converts serve it with a daily devotion that knows no limit of sacrifice, and in the face of persecution, misrepresentation, and even martyrdom, they remain loyal and true. In Russia its missionaries are exiled, imprisoned, and massacred, but the progress of the movement is only quickened by persecution, proving once again that the blood of the martyrs is the seed of the Church. In Germany and elsewhere it was forced into the night, its leaders were impoverished and hunted through Europe; but underground the movement grew faster than ever. In England it was ignored, defeated it was thought by a conspiracy of silence, when suddenly the nation awoke to the fact that the whole underworld was aflame; and now lords, politicians, and newspapers, consternated and appalled, are rallying for a frontal attack.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Introduction to Socialism The report is on a crop of bushels, and the commissioner divides the total data by giving the cost for 20 bushels. Human labor 2 hours, 58 minutes (call it 3 hours). Animal labor (an item that we shall later see will soon be eliminated), 8 hours. Twenty bushels for three hours' labor. Add 1-3 that it may more nearly conform with our definition of labor cost, and we have 20 bushels for four hours, or our assumed Socialist day. How many bushels can you now get for a 10-hour day? And mark this, that this report includes every item of labor from the time men go forth to plow the ground until the wheat is sacked and stored in the granary. But men do not go to this work with a single plow, a pair of bob-tailed mules and chain harness - do not go forth to wear them selves out plodding all, day to turn over about one and one-half acres. They go with steam plows and steam threshers; they do the work as it should be done. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Socialists and Socialism F you've nothing else to do and are at all interested in the subject, suppose you come along with me, and have a look at the Howling Dervishes. It takes all sorts of folks to make a world, you know, and the Howling Dervish is a time-honored institution. He has enormous faith in himself, and no amount of the opposition literature could exterminate him. He's a fix ture, the Howling D. Is, and we must reconcile ourselves to him, as we do to other inevitable and unescapable actualities. The most amusing thing about the modern H. Dervish is, that he considers himself something new under the sun. He isn't. Plato dreamed of him; ancient Sparta knew him well: each savage tribe had to shake him off and even the American colonies experimented with him. In their young and silly days. But the Socialists of our time bitterly deny the possession of a historic lineage, and wildly claim originality as they bowl and whirl. If you have no decided preference as to what part of the Socialist capon shall be put on your plate, I'll begin with young Robert Hunter. Young Robert is the Socialist leader who worked a get-rich-quick scheme by marrying a millionaire's daughter, - after which he published a book on Poverty, and began to wear pink socks.

Download or read book Appeal Socialist Classics Classic Reprint written by William James Ghent and published by . This book was released on 2015-07-10 with total page 72 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Appeal Socialist Classics The pamphlets in this series are composed, in the main, of selections from the published work of Socialist writers, mostly of the present day. In some of them, particularly "Socialist Documents" and "Socialism and Government," the writings used are mainly of collective, rather than individual authorship; while the Historical Sketch is the composition of the editor. To the selections given, the editor has added explanatory and connecting paragraphs, welding the fragments into a coherent whole. The aim is the massing together in concise and systematic form, of what has been most clearly and pertinently said, either by individual Socialist writers or by committees speaking for the party as a whole, on all of the main phases of Socialism. In their finished form they might, with some appropriateness, be termed mosaics: each pamphlet is an arrangement of parts from many sources according to a unitary design. Most of the separate pieces are, however, in the best sense classics: they are expressions of Socialist thought which, by general approval, have won authoritative rank. A classic, according to James Russell Lowell, is of itself "something neither ancient nor modern"; even the most recent writing may be considered classic if, for the mood it depicts or the thought it frames, it unites matter and style into an expression of approved merit. For the choice of selections the editor is alone responsible. Doubtless for some of the subjects treated another editor would have chosen differently. The difficulty indeed has been in deciding what to omit; for the mass of Socialist literature contains much that may be rightly called classic which obviously could not have been included in these brief volumes. The pamphlets in the series are as follows: 1. The Elements of Socialism. 2. The Science of Socialism, 3. Socialism: A Historical Sketch. 4. Socialist Documents. 5. Socialism and Government. 6. Questions and Answers. 7. Socialism and Organized Labor. 8. Socialism and the Farmer. 9. Socialism and Social Reform. 10. The Tactics of Socialism. 11. The Socialist Appeal. 12. Socialism in Verse.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The New Socialism This little book, written with the purpose of presenting in a popular and readable form, ideas which have been treated more seriously elsewhere, is almost wholly descriptive of a form of social and industrial organization which the writer conceives to be in harmony with the principle of social justice elsewhere enunciated. The problem of practical socialism is as old as civilization. In all centuries men have dreamed of a golden age in which all things would be made perfect, and have struggled to devise laws and systems under which men might cooperate in harmony, and all have sufficient for their needs. Yet, at the present day, the problem appears to be as little understood as in the beginning. From the time of Moses and Plato to that of the more modern Utopian imaginings which hold our interest for a passing day and are soon forgotten, philosophers have left but futile records of their speculations. Hence men have come to think of the problem as one which does not come within the sphere of exact science. He who claims to have reached a solution of the problem must necessarily face an incredulous audience. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Download or read book Socialism in Thought and Action Classic Reprint written by Harry Wellington Laidler and published by . This book was released on 2015-06-28 with total page 572 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Socialism in Thought and Action In the year 1900, a student would have searched American literature in vain for any adequate expression of socialism written by a sympathetic student of the subject in this country, and published by a non-socialist publishing house. From that year until the outbreak of the European war, however, volume after volume issued from the press and, by the summer of 1914, practically every phase of socialist theory and tactics had been carefully treated. Since the first of August, 1914, revolutionary changes have taken place in the socialist movement and philosophy. In many countries socialist theory, for the first time, under the most difficult circumstances, has been brought face to face with reality, and the socialist movement has evolved from a small, minority group to a powerful factor in the life of the people. The war has given a great impetus to the guild socialist idea, with its emphasis on producers' control of industry and its insistence on the development of personality as the ultimate goal of society. It has afforded world-wide publicity to the soviet form of the state, with its demand for occupational representation and its temporary "dictatorship of the proletariat."

Download or read book Socialism and Co Operation Classic Reprint written by Leonard Woolf and published by . This book was released on 2015-07-09 with total page 144 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Socialism and Co-Operation The object of this book is to examine the relations between co-operation and socialism, to determine, if possible, the part which the co-operative system might play in a socialistic society. By co-operation I mean the consumer's type of cooperation which has developed in the distributive and wholesale societies of the existing co-operative movement. In these pages I shall assume generally that the reader knows how that movement is constituted and organized and that he understands the principle underlying the co-operative system of industry. I have already in another book. Co-operation and the Future of Industry, given a general description of the movement and of its characteristics as an industrial system, and I must refer to that book any reader who desires detailed information on or discussion of those points. While, however, I do not propose to give a detailed description either of co-operation or of socialism, it is impossible to arrive at a clear understanding of the relations between them, unless we have first stated clearly what we mean by co-operation and what we mean by socialism. In this chapter I shall attempt to clear the ground by defining socialism and co-operation. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Download or read book How Socialism Works Classic Reprint written by John Strachey and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2018-02-04 with total page 228 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from How Socialism Works Two things are necessary to the success of any labor movement: the movement has got to know both where it is going and how to get there. Each is equally important. If a labor movement does not know the goal of all its efforts it can never succeed. The movement must know the final objective toward the attain ment of which the winning of every election, the calling of every strike, the organization of this or that section of the workers, the promotion of this or that piece of legislation, the building of this or that working-class political party, are all directed. There have been labor movements which did not know where they were going. The British Labor Movement, for example, has never paid much attention to the question of what it was really out to attain. For a long time such an indifference to the ultimate goal may not seem to matter very much. The work of the movement may go on with great apparent efficiency. Trade-unions may be well organized; strikes strongly fought; considerable elec tion triumphs registered. But in the long run, experience conclusively shows, a labor movement which does not know where it is going is bound to fail. In the end such a move ment is bound to lose direction, to take what appears to be the easy path, to fail to see the necessity of carrying through certain measures even in face of the strongest opposition and the greatest difficulties.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Socialist Movement One of the greatest of the difficulties which beset the path of the Socialist is the refusal on the part of his opponents to give an accu rate statement Oi what Socialism means and what the purpose of Socialism is. The main object of this book is to explain both. The Editors have asked a Conservative to explain Conservatism and a Liberal to interpret Liber alism, and have on the same principle turned to me to write about Socialism. It is, perhaps, best that doctrines which are the objects Of fierce assault should be explained by writers who believe in them, for, whether a doctrine is or is not to have a lasting influence depends not on the success with which clever critics attack some of its outworks, nor on the amount of error which creeps into its popular advocacy, but on the amount of truth which it really con tains, and that is more familiar to friend than to foe.

Download or read book Labor Questions and Socialism Classic Reprint written by Charles Bradlaugh and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2018-01-21 with total page 322 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Labor Questions and Socialism The workers and those who claim to be their special advocates seem to advocate, and seem now disposed to copy, the worst forms of bad legislation of past generations as to the regulation of the relations between employer and employed. Then, laws were passed to control the laborer, now, it is proposed to procure enactments to control the employer. As Professor Thorold Rogers points out, the Act of Elizabeth and the regulations of Quarter Sessions which prescribed twelve hours work a day all the year round only provoked evasion and resistance on the part of employer and employed. The natural tendency to-day is in the direction of shorter hours of labor. Where laws for limiting hours of labor have recently been resorted to, they have achieved very little. This is illustrated by recent Transatlantic experience, and is shown by the introductory remarks on the hours of labor in Vol. XX. Of the tenth Census of the United States of America. On the contrary, organisation has already had considerable effect in diminishing the number of hours worked per day.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from History of Socialism in the United States Since the first appearance of this book (october, four editions of it have been printed without any change in the text. But now, when my publishers are about to send it out into the world for the fifth time, I feel that the task of subjecting it to a thorough revision can no longer be delayed. There are several reasons why such revision should be undertaken at this time. The last six years have been years of uncommon interest and eventfulness for the socialist movement of this country, and no history of the movement can claim to be complete without at least a brief record of these events. The task of bringing the narrative down to date has made necessary the addition of an entirely new and somewhat extended chapter.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from On Mass Work Why do we submit the mass work problem for discussion? It is because through the masses alone that we can change our present, make our future and transform objectives and aspirations into a living reality. Our leader and teacher has summed up this question in his first words to the Executive Bureaux members: It is not in my ability as an individual to build anything either in society, government or in the Arab Socialist Union. This is why mass work is the first question which confronts the revolutionaries while building up the new society. It is possible to define mass work as the positivity in confronting the various situations evoked by the daily life of the people and the movement of their progression towards the appointed goal. This positivity, be it a spontaneous faculty or an acquired experience, undoubtedly bears traces of historical features and social, economic and political developments of the people.
