Book excerpt: Excerpt from Report of the Socialist Labor Party of the United States of America: To the International Congress Held in Stuttgart; Aug; 18-25, 1907 This was written in 1852. The giant strides since made by Amer ica, her fabulous production of wealth, rise in manufacture and agri culture that practically place her at the head of all other nations in this respect, in short, the stupendous stage of capitalist devel 0pment that the country has reached, would seem to remove the contrast. It does not. These changes are not enough to draw con elusions as to the stage of Socialism that may be expected. The above passages from Marx explain why, and they indicate what other factors need consideration before a bourgeois republic has left behindit its conservative form of existence and entered upon that po litical revolutionary stage of its life, without which a Socialist Movement can not be expected to gain its steerage way. These factors - the permanent character and, therefore, intellectual con sciousness of the classes, due to the traditions of old having been dissolved through the work of centuries; the maturity of life of material production which, no longer having to appropriate a new world to itself, has the requisite time and opportunity to abolish the illusions of old, etc., - also require consideration and their status ascertained. They are essential to a final and intelligent con elusion. A rough and rapid sketch of the facts that throw light upon these factors will clarify the situation.
