Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: During the late 19th century and early 20th century, there was a relatively strong Socialist movement in the United States. In various states and municipalities there were Socialist Parties. The movement believed in the public ownership and democratic management of the basic means of production and distribution. It also had strong ties, especially in Wisconsin, with the organizedlabor movement of the time.The movement was not a "Communist" movement, that is, one that believed in the dictatorship of the working class; nor was it a "National Socialist"movement, that is, one that believed in a military dictatorship. Rather, it was what is now called a "Democratic Socialist" movement, a movement that sought change through the ballot box by educating the voter. The movement wasstrongly anti-war, especially during World War I. Socialists also believed that workers should unite to improve their status. The Sheboygan movement was therefore strongly oriented toward anti-war sentiments and for labor improvement.Using primary source documents the Kneevers present a great historic picture of the Sheboygan Socialists.

Download or read book Socialist Cities written by Richard W. Judd and published by State University of New York Press. This book was released on 1989-07-28 with total page 268 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Socialist Cities is a comparative treatment of grass-roots Socialist successes. It marks the first comprehensive look at the urban working-class base of the American Socialist movement in the early part of the century, and reveals the importance of municipal politics as an organizing strategy. The author assesses the reactions of both workers and non-workers to the party, and provides a fresh perspective on the perennial question of why socialism 'failed' in America. He demonstrates that the subtle and ongoing dialogue between the party's own internal theoretical and tactical weaknesses and the broader class and structural obstacles against which it struggled, contributed to its failure.
Download or read book Socialist Mayors in the United States written by David R. Berman and published by University Press of Kansas. This book was released on 2022-05-27 with total page 240 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The United States is known as a country that has been highly antagonistic to Socialism of any form. Socialists in the United States have tended to be political outsiders, mounting criticisms of the government without serving in elected office themselves. However, from around 1900 to 1920, Socialist politicians in the United States were prominent and active at the municipal level, holding office as government insiders. Socialist mayors in over two hundred small cities across the United States brought meaningful improvements in the quality of life for people in their communities, playing an important role in this period’s municipal reform movement. Despite the limitations of being associated with a minority party—particularly a party that divided over whether to pursue elected office in the United States—these mayors pushed for reforms, challenged the status quo, and held their own in demonstrating the ability to govern. Socialist Mayors in the United States is the first comprehensive study of nationwide Socialist activity at the municipal level during the Progressive Era. It is a unique study of the Socialist mayors in this period: their election, how they approached their job, and what they accomplished. Berman offers a fresh look at the nature of the Socialist Party by focusing on its municipal program, interaction with non-Socialist municipal reformers, local political operations, and the tensions within the party as it delved into political action on this level. Socialist Mayors in the United States is an illumination of seldom-explored political and governmental characteristics of medium and small towns, often very small towns, where Socialists enjoyed most of their successes.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: At a time when the word “socialist” is but one of numerous political epithets that are generally divorced from the historical context of America’s political history, The Socialist Party of America presents a new, mature understanding of America’s most important minor political party of the twentieth century. From the party’s origins in the labor and populist movements at the end of the nineteenth century, to its heyday with the charismatic Eugene V. Debs, and to its persistence through the Depression and the Second World War under the steady leadership of “America’s conscience,” Norman Thomas, The Socialist Party of America guides readers through the party’s twilight, ultimate demise, and the successor groups that arose following its collapse. Based on archival research, Jack Ross’s study challenges the orthodoxies of both sides of the historiographical debate as well as assumptions about the Socialist Party in historical memory. Ross similarly covers the related emergence of neoconservatism and other facets of contemporary American politics and assesses some of the more sensational charges from the right about contemporary liberalism and the “radicalism” of Barack Obama.
