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

Nothing decisive, however, was done till 1864, when on the 28th September a great public meeting of working men of all nations was held in St. Martin's Hall, London. Professor Beesly presided, and Karl Marx was present. The meeting resulted in the appointment of a provisional committee to draw up the constitution of the new association. This committee consisted of fifty representatives of different nations, the English forming about half of its number. At the first meeting of the committee the sum of three pounds was collected, a humble beginning of the finances of an association which was designed to shake the world. The work of drafting the constitution was first of all undertaken by Mazzini, but the ideas and methods of the Italian patriot were not suited to the task of founding an international association of labour. The statutes he drew up were adapted to the political conspiracy, conducted by a strong central authority, in which he had spent his life; he was strongly opposed to the antagonism of classes, and his economic ideas were vague. Marx, on the other hand, was in entire sympathy with the most advanced labour movement--had indeed already done much to mould and direct it; to him, therefore, the duty of drawing up a constitution was transferred. The inaugural address and the statutes drawn up by him were unanimously adopted by the committee. In the inaugural address1 three points were particularly emphasised. First, Marx contended that, notwithstanding the enormous development of industry and of national wealth since 1848, the misery of the masses had not diminished. Secondly, the...

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.
