Socialism Flashcards
3 types of socialism
revolutionary
democratic
Third way
revolutionary socialism
Karl Marx - communist manifesto - workers of the world unite
rosa Luxembourg - reform or revolution (Book) - all war is male (Quote) - argues against Webb and argues that only a rapid revolution will bring socialism as if we wait then those elected will become slowly corrupt under capitalism and forget what it means to be a socialist
both believe that the way to achieve socialism is to complete revolutionise the system and status quo - capitalism is infected in the world that only a rapid and absolute revolution will destroy capatism - a complete revolution is needed, it is the only way
social democratic
beatrice webb - bit of a shitter (No real good works just use for the ideas of that socialism is a political inevitability through enfranchisement, the extension of the vote to the workers will vote the workers in and bring socialism peacefully and properly - contradiction to the rapid revolution of revolutionary socialists
Anthony Crossland - Labour MP - Wrote ‘the conservative enemy’ - believes in the legal system and the respect of the law, hence no revolution - quote ‘I could not condone, let alone encourage, defiance of the law’
social democrats believe in the extension of legal enfranchisement will allow workers to get into politics and bring socialism gradually and legally that way
the third way
Anthony Giddens - wrote ‘the third way’ - all about using capitalism to the benefit of socialist policies - if you take the spoils of capitalism and distribute them back into sodality to help people achgivbe more society will prosper - beloved very much in taking funds into education - educate the workers so they can advance and break the capitalist glass ceiling - worked under Tony Blair - big influence on the ‘education education education’ speech by Blair
