This book compiles the compelling first-hand accounts of men and women who became fervent advocates for socialism, and sought to effect meaningful change in the socio-political landscape of their day. The various testimonies collected in this insightful volume speak to the book's core theme: that the path to a more just and equitable society lies in the principles of collective decision-making and universal access to resources. These narratives, ranging from personal reflections to powerful speeches, demonstrate socialism's commitment to economic fairness, the eradication of poverty and exploitation, and the advancement of education and the arts for the enrichment of society.

Excerpt from Why I Am a Socialist

The Socialist party offers the only practical and efficient remedy for the present. Incompetent and wasteful chaos; therefore I am a Socialist. Anyone,with the least intelligence can see the faults of the present system of government, b u t the people who see th i s incompetency are divided into many classes. There are those who see the evil, yet fail to note its significance. They are like the person who is so engrossed in his thoughts, that though his eyes see, his mind compre hends nothing of what is happening about him. Second ly, there are those who see and under stand, but say that such conditions have always been, therefor? They 31 mildred travis, ways Wlll be. These Librarian remind me of the ignoramuses who sneer at every new invention, say ing, I never saw anything like it, so I just know it won't work. These people never progress, but stick in the same rut as long as they live, ever sinking deeper into the mire, and all the time trying to pull others in with them. Third-ly, and lastly, there are those people who see the oppression all around them and immediately start looking for the causes, the ulti mate results and possible preventatives. Almost all of this group, are in the Socialist Party. The rest are on the way. They are progressives in the strictest sense of the word.
