Reform and Revolution: Three Early Socialists on the Way Ahead: Series 2 (William Morris Library) - Softcover

Inhaltsangabe

This work includes three seminal pieces by early socialists that address the question of how to replace capitalism: "The Policy of Abstention" by William Morris; "Socialism and Radicalism" by John Carruthers; and "The ABC of Socialism" by Fred Henderson. Morris's argument regards the uses and dangers of socialist parliamentary activity; Carruthers writes of the diversion for socialists presented by the battle to reform capitalism; and Henderson's text, which was adopted as a policy statement by the Independent Labour Party, shows Morris's influence upon the early Labour movement. The introduction sets these works in the context of a long-standing political debate between social reform and social transformation, showing that these issues may be of relevance to radicals today.
