Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Thomas Kirkup's "History of Socialism" (London: Black) is an absorbingly interesting and very instructive book. One has scarcely read a dozen pages of it until one asks the question: "Do these people really believe what they preach?" "Whatever our opinion may be of the wisdom or practicability of their theories," says the author, "history proves that Socialists have been ready to sacrifice wealth, social position, and life itself, for the cause which they have adopted." We doubt not there have been such Socialists -- not a few of them perhaps -- Socialists who have really believed and have greatly striven to act up to their beliefs. But it is unfortunate that this book touches often on a Socialist, August Bebel, who did not sacrifice wealth and life to the cause; and one notes that at least half a dozen other leading Socialists are mentioned in these pages who, far from sacrificing wealth by the profession of Socialism, have won and kept it largely by means of that profession. These are displeasing things to say, and one takes not the smallest delight in saying them. But it is extremely necessary to state this truth;' and it may be that not a few of the really faithful among the followers of Marx -- those who preach eloquently and who try their utmost to practice eloquently -- will thank us for stating it. The theory of Socialism is one of the most deeply interesting theories that has ever been argued. It intimately affects all of us -- Dives, Lazarus; upper class, middle class, working class; old and young; man and woman. We need not wish for a clearer exposition of its essence and growth than the late Mr. Kirkup's, which Mr. Edward R. Pease, another Socialist, has revised and enlarged. Here we have excellent informative notes about the originators of the movement in France, England, and Germany -- Robert Owen, Lassalle, Proudhon, Fourier, etc.; and though author and editor are fervent partisans, they are clever enough and shrewd enough to see and admit some terribly weak links in the chain of their heroes' arguments. Thus Karl Marx is the giant, -- one might almost say, the saint, -- of Socialism. No name has anything like the authority, the sanctity, of his name among Socialists. Now Marx's great discovery was surplus value. Surplus value was to Marx what natural selection was to Darwin. He virtually founded Socialism on this, to him impregnable rock. Alas, the rock already crumbles! Mr. Kirkup finds in surplus value a lost cause. He admits Marx was wrong about the surplus and forgot all about the brains and energy of capital. It strikes one there will be very little left of Darwinism if ever the natural selection theory is disposed of as freely as Mr. Kirkup disposes of Marx's great discovery. If Mr. Kirkup is right, what remains of Marx to-day is a great -- name. Mr. Kirkup's book on the whole is laudably free from cant. However, it is but just to say that there are passages in it which are too reminiscent of the kind of impostor Charles Dickens loved to show up, the flowery humanitarian. The blindness which prevents such enlightened comrades as Mr. Kirkup from drawing the logical and inevitable conclusion from their own admissions is one of the strangest things about the Socialist movement. --The Fortnightly Review, Volume 24

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from A History of Socialism We all know that the propaganda of socialism has been attended with intemperate and violent language with wild opinions which are often inconsistent with the first principles of social order, with revolutionary outbreaks leading to bloodshed, desolation and long-con tinned unrest and suspicion. These things are greatly to be deplored. But we shall be wise if we regard them as symptoms of wide-spread and deep-seated social disease. The best way to cure such disease is to study and remove the causes of it. No physician will have any success in combating a malady if he content him self with suppressing its symptoms. For the study of socialism two things are essential on the part of the reader - good-will and the Open mind. Socialism has at least a most powerful pro visional claim on our good-will, that it professes to represent the cause of the sufferers in the world's long agony, of the working-classes, of women, and of the down-trodden nations and races. If it can make any solid contribution in such a far-reaching cause it has the strongest right to be heard.

Download or read book Italian Anarchism 1864 1892 written by Nunzio Pernicone and published by Princeton University Press. This book was released on 2014-07-14 with total page 341 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Historians have frequently portrayed Italian anarchism as a marginal social movement that was doomed to succumb to its own ideological contradictions once Italian society modernized. Challenging such conventional interpretations, Nunzio Pernicone provides a sympathetic but critical treatment of Italian anarchism that traces the movement's rise, transformation, and decline from 1864 to 1892. Based on original archival research, his book depicts the anarchists as unique and fascinating revolutionaries who were an important component of the Italian socialist left throughout the nineteenth century and beyond. Anarchism in Italy arose under the influence of the Russian revolutionary Bakunin, triumphed over Marxism as the dominant form of early Italian socialism, and supplanted Mazzinianism as Italy's revolutionary vanguard. After forming a national federation of the Anti-Authoritarian International in 1872, the Italian anarchists attempted several insurrections, but their organization was suppressed. By the 1880s the movement had become atomized, ideologically extreme, and increasingly isolated from the masses. Its foremost leader, Errico Malatesta, attempted repeatedly to revitalize the anarchists as a revolutionary force, but internal dissension and government repression stifled every resurgence and plunged the movement into decline. Even after their exclusion from the Italian Socialist Party in 1892, the anarchists remained an intermittently active and influential element on the Italian socialist left. As such, they continued to be feared and persecuted by every Italian government. Originally published in 1993.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Conquest of Bread is a political treatise written by the anarcho-communist philosopher Peter Kropotkin. Written after a split between anarchists and Marxists at the First International (a 19th-century association of left-wing radicals), The Conquest of Bread advocates a path to a communist society distinct from Marx and Engels’s Communist Manifesto, rooted in the principles of mutual aid and voluntary cooperation. Since its original publication in 1892, The Conquest of Bread has immensely influenced both anarchist theory and anarchist praxis. As one of the first comprehensive works of anarcho-communist theory published for wide distribution, it both popularized anarchism in general and encouraged a shift in anarchist thought from individualist anarchism to social anarchism. It was also an influential text among the Spanish anarchists in the Spanish Civil War of the 1930s, and the late anarchist theorist and anthropologist David Graeber cited the book as an inspiration for the Occupy movement of the early 2010s in his 2011 book Debt: The First 5,000 Years.

Download or read book Poles Jews and the Politics of Nationality written by Joshua D. Zimmerman and published by Univ of Wisconsin Press. This book was released on 2004-01-26 with total page 379 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Jewish experience on Polish lands is often viewed backwards through the lens of the Holocaust and the ethnic rivalries that escalated in the period between the two world wars. Critical to the history of Polish-Jewish relations, however, is the period prior to World War I when the emergence of mass electoral politics in Czarist Russia led to the consolidation of modern political parties. Using sources published in Polish, Yiddish, Hebrew, and Russian, Joshua D. Zimmerman has compiled a full-length English-language study of the relations between the two dominant progressive movements in Russian Poland. He examines the Polish Socialist Party (PPS), which sought social emancipation and equal civil rights for minority nationalities, including Jews, under a democratic Polish republic, and the Jewish Labor Bund, which declared that Jews were a nation distinct from Poles and Russians and advocated cultural autonomy. By 1905, the PPS abandoned its call for Jewish assimilation, and recognized Jews as a separate nationality. Zimmerman demonstrates persuasively that Polish history in Czarist Russia cannot be fully understood without studying the Jewish influence and that Jewish history was equally infused with the Polish influence.
