Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Fabian Essays in Socialism N O doubt this general statement shews the Revolutionaries of 1848 - 71 as simpler than they appear on their own records. Proudhon was full of proposals: one Of them, the minimum wage, turns out to be of the very first importance now that Mr. And Mrs. Sidney Webb have put the case for it on an invincible basis Of industrial fact and economic theory. Lassalle really knew something Of the nature of law, the practice of Government, and the mind of the governing classes. Marx, though cer tainly a bit of a Liberal fatalist (did he not say that force is the midwife of progress without reminding us that force is equally the midwife Of chaos, and chaos the midwife Of martial law P), was at all events no believer in Laisser-faire. Socialism involves the introduction Of design, contrivance, and co-ordination, by a nation consciously seeking its own collective welfare, into the present industrial scramble for private gain; and as it is clear that this cannot be a spontaneous result of a violent overthrow Of the existing order, and as the Socialists of 1848 - 71 were not blind, it would be impossible to substantiate a claim for Fabian Essays as the first text-book of Socialism in which catastrophism is repudiated as a method of Socialism.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Religion of Socialism: Being Essays in Modern Socialist Criticism Other essays in the present volume touch upon the same subject directly or indirectly. It cannot be too strongly insisted upon that either the theory of modern Socialism rests on a solid historical basis, or it is nothing. The truth discovered by Marx, that the basal factor determining the constitution of society is its material and economic condition, must be for the Socialist the key to the reconstruction of history. Socialism, we contend, is not a theory "won from the void and formless infinite" of Utopian sentiment and good intentions, very beautiful, but impracticable, as some think; or from that of an aimless discontent acted on by wicked and designing agitators, as others think; but it is a plain deduction from the facts of history. The living form of Socialism has been long perfecting itself within the chrysalis of Civilisation. The process completed, nothing will prevent the empty hull from bursting asunder arid the new being from issuing forth in its fairness and freedom. The more repulsive, the more dead and withered, the harder in outline the forms of Civilisation appear, the sooner may we look for their final destruction. We often hear of the taunt from middle-class thinkers and writers, "I am no Revolutionist, I am an Evolutionist."

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Ethics of Socialism: Being Further Essays in Modern Socialist Criticism, Etc Otherwise it is the same. "The Revolution of the 19th Century" was addressed in the first instance mainly to secularist hearers and readers in the earlier stages of the English Socialist movement: and to those who have followed the subsequent literature of the movement it may seem to contain a good deal that has been said before, both by myself and others. It was thought, however, that, in view of the fact that there are still a considerable number of persons who profess a zeal for "freethought," and yet do not embrace the ideal of Socialism, it might be worth while to include it in the series. The article, "Criminal Law under Socialism," is practically a continuation of that on Civil Law under Socialism contained in the former volume. Of the other socialistic articles it is unnecessary to say anything by way of preface beyond the fact that their intention is suggestion rather than lengthy exposition. The advance of the Socialistic movement within the last two years, i.e., since the publication of the "Religion of Socialism," has been marked in England in two ways. Firstly, the Trades' Unions have begun to be penetrated by socialistic ideas. The solid front of true British stupidity, of which, unfortunately, hitherto, they have been the embodiment, has at length, to say the least, been broken. Economic causes must infallibly do the rest before very long. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An excerpt from the Economic Review, Volume 1: "THIS is a complete exposition of English Socialism in its latest maturest phase," says Mr. Sidney Webb ("Socialism in England," p. 38). If one of the cleverest contributors had not thus set his own estimate on the aim and value of the volume of essays, a critic who should demand from it a complete and coherent manifesto of the "New Socialism" might fairly be held a little exacting. I do not intend to press Mr. Webb's ambitious description; it would be a graceless and a barren task to employ a microscopic eye in the discovery of inconsistencies in the essays and between the essays of the individual writers; I prefer to view the book as the outcome of a common wave of thought. "Quot homines, tot sententæ;" who would not shrink before the task of editing the contributions of seven keen and original minds? One feels that something of compromise has entered into the collaboration; that some of the writers, at any rate, would have said a good deal more if they had spoken out; that the judicious editor has primed a little paradox and softened -a little vehemence—has endeavoured to make the work not only both popular and scientific, but palatable to bourgeois prejudice withal. Only very rarely (once or twice in Mr. Shaw's essays) the "lyrical note" of the older revolutionary Socialism breaks out. But for the most part there is nothing of savagery, except the frontispiece of the popular edition, and that is doubtless a typographical survival. We must take the "New Socialism" at its own professions. The older creed—the pathetic and impatient belief in the immediate perfectibility of human nature, and in the saving virtue of the purifying fires of revolutionary catastrophes—has been tamed by experience. Socialists—Fabian Socialists, at any rate—are adopting "historical" methods. This change of front is as striking as it is welcome, showing, as it does, that the issues are no longer to be committed to the stronger arm, but to the better argument. Mr. Webb has armed himself with a new weapon; he has turned to the interpretation of the history of the last hundred years for comfort and encouragement. "We are all Socialists, now!" said Sir William Harcourt in his haste: Mr. Webb insists on taking Sir William seriously. Yet history may not turn out such a facile disciple as M. Jourdain, and "Individualism," or whatever may be the antithesis of Socialism, is not quite driven from the field. Mr. Webb deals furiously with facts and figures, but a sceptic might surely come through them unconvinced. No array of facts, however imposing, is of much value, unless it proves the conclusion at issue. To take one of Mr. Webb's strongest instances: the State manages the Post Office because it is not desirable that postal services, and consequently postal rates, should be left to private competition, because it is desirable that postal rates should be equitable rather than proportionate to the expense of transmission in each case, because it is an undertaking which by its nature can be efficiently managed by a Government department. In plain terms, the State is motived by the interests of the nation and by its own, but not, so far as I know, by the desire to confer a benefit on its employees. Does a municipality which takes over the town tramways act otherwise? In other words, is its action dictated by regard to consumers or to labourers? Apply the same test to every other case Mr. Webb quotes to support his thesis. What history in his hands proves is: (1) that private competition is often disastrous; (2) that, a, State regulation, or, ß State annexation of a particular branch of industry, may, under some circumstances, be preferable; (3) that in all these cases the State or subordinate governing body has held itself bound to consult the interest of the consumer....

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Essays on Socialism The general result of the Act was to throw political power into the hands of manufacturers and capitalists, in a phrase to enfranchise the middle classes The direct influence of the working classes was, if anything, slightly diminished by the Act, since it disfranchised a few places in which they had previously possessed the suffr.age It struck a fatal blow at the privileges Of the possessors Of hereditary authority, and gave representation to the com mercial interests of the nation. One striking proof was given that the class which then won political power was not unworthy of the freedom it had gained. One Of its first reforms was the introduction Of a Factory Act to pro teet the more helpless of the operative class, and it ought never to be forgotten that effective legislative interference with employers was due to a Parliament elected principally by that very same bourgeozs class which it is now the fashion to so unsparingly denounce. In 1801 the first Act limiting the hours of labor was passed, and by this it was forbidden that apprentices should work for more than twelve hours a day; in 1819 Sir Robert Peel was defeated in a Bill which proposed to limit the working day for young persons under sixteen years of age to eleven hours and a half, and the Act of 1801 appears to have been systematically evaded. When the Reformed Parliament met in 1833, a Bill was intro duced in the preamble Of which it was stated that it has become a practice to employ a great number Of children and young persons Of both sexes an unreasonable length Of time, and late at night, and in many cases all night.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Fabian Essays in Socialism Since 1889 the Socialist movement has been completely transformed throughout Europe; and the result of the transformation may fairly be described as Fabian Socialism. In the eighteen-eighties, when Socialism revived in England for the first time since the suppression of the Paris Commune in 1871, it was not at first realized that what had really been suppressed for good and all was the romantic revolutionary Liberalism and Radicalism of 1848, to which the Socialists had attached themselves as a matter of course, partly because they were themselves romantic and revolutionary, and partly because both Liberals and Socialists had a common object in Democracy. Besides this common object the two had a common conception of method in revolution. They were both catastro-phists. Liberalism had conquered autocracy and bureaucracy by that method in England and France, and then left industry to make what it could of the new political conditions by the unregulated action of competition between individuals. Briefly, the Liberal plan was to cut off the King's head, and leave the rest to Nature, which was supposed to gravitate towards economic harmonies when not restrained by tyrannical governments.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Studies in Socialism The following essays were first published in a Socialist daily paper in Paris, and are therefore addressed to a public not only well versed in the main theories of Socialism, but in the various questions that have arisen since Socialist ideas have ceased to be merely theories and have be come crystallised into party programmes. In America, however, we cannot take for granted, as M. Jaures does, a familiarity with these ideas, and it has therefore seemed best to prefix to a translation of his essays a summary of the funda mental Socialist theories and of the various methods advocated. Although Socialists differ upon many points, they all agree on the following main definition: Socialism is the doctrine that the means of pro duction (that is, capital, land, and raw materials, or in other words, all wealth which is used for the creation of more wealth) should not be owned by individuals, but by society.
