Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from My Confession of Faith: In the Labour Alliance In a popular movement such as the Independent Labour Party, it is necessary from time to time to restate the principles upon which our faith is based. Our ranks are constantly being recruited from the young and earnest, in which fact lies the certainty of our success. Young recruits coming into the party now, however, can have no conception of what the situation was like prior to the formation of the I.L.P. The political conditions which then obtained seem now as far off almost as the days of mediaeval chivalry. Before 1893, when the I.L.P. was formed, there were two declared Socialist organisations in the field, in addition to the Fabian Society. The elder of the two was the Social Democratic Federation. Those of us however who were Trade Unionists as well as Socialists found, after watching and studying its methods of propaganda, that these were more likely to antagonise than to enlist working class support. Its propaganda was an ill-assorted blend of political action and physical force revolution, and its leading speakers appeared to be at special pains to pour ridicule and contempt on such working class movements as Co-operation, and Trade Unionism, whilst Temperance societies were their special bete noire. I felt, as did many others, that that sort of thing was not going to win the support of that organised section of the working class movement upon which Socialism must rely for its success. The Socialist League, the other organisation, so long as it retained William Morris as its guide and inspiration, enlisted the active support of the best of the young Socialist blood of that day. It was frankly anti-parliamentary, and in course of time it developed such an impossibilist attitude that Morris resigned and the League did not long survive him. Socialism in those days, was treated as a plant of continental growth which could never find lodgment in Great Britain.
